Hope he's okay.

with "multiple leg injuries". Shit.

it felt shitty to even think, but I did.

hopefully he doesnt have to deal with any of that shit ever again.

.

just report that he was in an accident and move on

on the level of him sustaining life threatening injuries and fighting to stay alive.

i mean...im hapoy if everyone was genuinely concerned. but it seems like a lot of outlets wanna get in on the ground floor of a story that could potentially reap more eyeballs as later (dramatic) developments break.

.

I don't like driving up in those hills. Hopefully surgery turns out good and this isn't career ending.

He was doing too much too soon.

He just had back surgery, and should not have been driving.
Someone should have been driving or he should have been in
an Uber.

Ramona Shelburne spoke about her recent surgery which was similar,
and said he father had been driving her around.

Where are his agents, managers, and advisors? Billion dollar athlete
just driving around by himself after having recent surgery.

Why was he Mcing a tournament the other day, and doing an
interview in Jim Lance after having back surgery?

Forget the golf, the marketing, and just focus on your health and family.

This is reminding me too much of Michael Jackson and Prince...Their bodies
were shot from doing years of high level performances, but still pushing themselves
and medicating their physical issues with pain killers.

Get well and forget about the game for now.

Billionaire athlete just driving around by himself...and he is definitely
taking pain killers to deal with the surgery pain. No way around it.

This is the third driving situation he has been in.

This shit could have been avoided, man.

I’m tired of seeing super star black athletes and performers have tragic
endings...tired

Let this be a warning ...

https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/23/tiger-woods-car-crash-golf-tournament/

Drew Brees to help him practice golf? He was running late for the practice, so
he sped off to get there ASAP?

I’m confused as fock. This dude didn’t have a driver to take him there?
And the fact that he almost hit a producer’s car when he took off is beyond
alarming.

Compound fracture, plus shattered ankle. He will be rehabbing for at least a year,
and probably will not be able to walk for about 4-6 months. And he is still recovering
from back surgery.

At least he will be able to rest and sit still for awhile.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.

Being late to appointments is one of em.

Whst are you confused about?

he was driving himself around, and still trying to do several events
and outings.

They talked about it on ESPN. That he was doing too much too soon,
and that he should have had a driver. They didn’t specify the exact date
of the surgery, but in his interview the other day he talked about having
an MRI done to see if the back had healed, so he was still in the healing
phase.

And to add to that, it’s just weird to me that a billionaire athlete was driving himself
around in general with no one with him,etc.

If the Tiger doc made anything perfectly clear, it’s that Tiger is the sort of combination of control freak and perfectionist to see himself as invincible, and we’ve seen hundreds of examples of people not learning their lesson the first time they fly too close to the sun, especially if there’s some kind of redemption arc in between incidents. Just makes it easier to start believing you’re a god again.

Like, if I ever have enough to get into a Ferrari or some shit, no, no, nobody else is driving. Nope.

Plus I don't get why you think just because somebody's rich they wouldn't want to drive themselves around anymore.

If I am a highly famous athlete worth a billion, I’m not
just going to be rolling dolo, especially if I’m running late.

You see Jordan rolling around with a friend( yes man..lol) or
an associate.

Cats in Chicago take Uber just to go ten blocks up.

But it’s Tiger, the same dude cheating with prostitutes
with no liaison or middle man and doing it on his personal phone.

But glad he's not dead.

theres no bright side in this except for being in the very safe vehicle.

Perhaps you can look at it like this will give him time to stop working his body and give his back a year of non-activity to heal. but at this point I just want him to be able to walk.

i had a pretty severe compound fracture in my foot playing basketball and tore all 3 ligaments off my leg to my foot and that was a full year of rehab. he'll get the worlds best treatment, I personally think he will be back competing.

could've hit which would've made the outcome a lot worse according to local LE

just curious because i haven't seen anything about it. how do we know it didn't make the crash more likely in the first place?

> that new Genesis most likely saved his life

hopefully they're taking good care of him.

https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/31209160/excessive-speed-caused-tiger-woods-suv-crash-sheriff-says

Woods' SUV was traveling from 84 to 87 mph on a downhill stretch of road outside Los Angeles that had a speed limit of 45 mph and was going 75 mph when his car hit a tree, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.

driving that fast on unfamiliar roads unless it’s a flat straightaway...

"Authorities said there was no evidence of impairment or of distracted driving."

"Woods told deputies that he had not ingested medication or alcohol before the crash."

Months ago. But I looked it up after this speeding thing came out, and read those stories more carefully. Turns out the police never even bothered to get a warrant for the blood and just took Tiger’s word for it 😆

of the crash

If he were speeding because he had just kidnapped a baby, sure, fuck him.

As it stands "fuck him" seems a little extreme for the circumstances.

FOH asking me to read your mind

If you have some personal issue where you've been impacted by a reckless driver, cool. I get that. But just fucking say that instead this passive aggressive bullshit.

ok now I get it, this is why you need to yell at me about shit you imagined I said.

go on bro, get it out. shit, I thought you might be going through something serious, this is just about the L you took on this post?

sure, make me the bad guy

Especially if it was on one of the cliffside type of roads

>Especially if it was on one of the cliffside type of roads

I hope he gets better, and I'm really glad he only ended up harming himself, but he was def driving like an asshole.

I'm not saying I'd say it, but I can't defend that behavior, you're putting other people at risk


www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

The lone caveat to me, in terms of my initial response, is it seems like this occurred in a vacuum. So I'm not really sweating someone driving like that when it's just them out there.

But then, he could have easily hit someone he couldn't see coming around a bend, or someone hiking or what have you.

you didn't lose.

I disagreed, that was it.

you don't have to freak out when you see my name now

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

My brother drives on that stretch of road 2-3 times per week. He said you're crazy if you speed there; 87 mph is either pure stupidity or just Tiger being Tiger and not giving a shit.

speeding like that.

I’ve driven around that area before. 87 mph is crazy, but it’s even crazier in Palos Verdes where you’re driving through a hilly area with borderline extreme inclines, declines and turns.

8 birdies in a row with a chance for the lead at 18…the fact that Tiger is doing this after what happened this year is amazing. And Charlie looks like a poised professional out there - his swing looks BETTER than a bunch of the pros…

lol
