Played golf with Dwyane Wade and others yesterday. It was a few day thing with Golf Digest. Agent says leg injuries/surgery.

Cops are saying no alcohol, but wouldn't comment on other substances.
A bit too soon to say his career is over. We don't even know the extent of his injuries.

Hope he's okay. Not so sure his career is necessarily over. These days he can play with a cart if necessary (though I doubt he would). Ben Hogan came back from a horrific crash 70 years ago to win golf tournaments. We'll see (though Tiger needs to start letting someone else do the driving).

Why is he still driving his own car? He looked in rough shape on Sunday in his interview. This seems a lot like when he had his DUI after back surgery.

This is so true.  Hire a driver.  Heck, he could hire three drivers to work around the clock. 
Ludum habemus.

Just saw a picture of the aftermath of the wreck.    That is a very difficult extrication.  Looking at the car, multiple leg injuries is the minimum.

Sad news. Hope he recovers to live a normal life. Golf is secondary.

It sounds pretty brutal but you're right, I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

He looked awful on Sunday.  It's time for him to be Tiger the dad.  Golf isn't worth it

Looks like he crossed over the road, over the medium strip, over next road, then into the wooded embankment.

Maybe he passed out due to painkillers for back or past addiction.  Maybe he swerved to miss a deer.  Toxicology will decide that.  Hope it was the deer/animal thing, but not betting on it.  He did not look very good on CBS interview Sunday, looked beat up and tired. 

Didn't medivac him, so that's a good sign, unless hospital was close.

Probably over on PGA Tour, but who knows.  Watch, he will have two broken legs, sit out a year, then win at Augusta.  Ben Hogan story as mentioned.

Prayers out to Tiger and his family. As much I have loved following his career, I hope he recovers and enjoys his family. Time to recover and focus on his kids.

Yes.  He has climbed every mountain.   Get well, enjoy your kids, become a philanthropist and personality. 



How about Tiger and Phil together in an announcing booth?

It was a Genesis.  They sponsored the tournament this weekend and he's the host

Love, Tiger but he's personality zero.  Hate, Phil and think he'd be terrific in the booth

Phil would be fantastic agreed.  Tiger just isn't nearly gregarious and charismatic enough.  Phil and Tiger both have legendary stories from all their years on tour, celebrity intereactions, games, etc...  I can't think of multiple times I've heard Phil in podcasts or interviews or responses where he relayed stuff like that amazingly.  Cant think of the same for Tiger.  I feel like the "must watch" Tiger on camera stuff is Tiger fans who would get excited about him reading a phone book or just more him sharing something for once than it actually being communicated well.

tower912

Probably right.   Or, knowing he is done competing, he could pull a Faldo and become outgoing.


Or, he can relax, enjoy his family, and count his money.

Thx. Makes sense. GV80. Only make one model SUV. Not a bad looking SUV but too much grill for my taste.

Reports now suggest jaws of life were not needed.  He's incredibly lucky to be alive.

He's not wired that way. Literally, his entire life has been about golf and being the best. If he stepped away he'd always look to come back.

Yup, Tiger has a ridiculous competitive edge but his pops is also to blame for his entire life revolving around golf.

I gotta imagine this is it. Really, really strange seeing the two most dominant athletes I grew up watching (Tiger and Serena) going out at the same time. Getting older is weird.

jesmu84

His career was over when he had the most recent back surgery. Almost for sure now though
