30 pages and it looks like he was drugged and robbed. So, while drugged he mixed up his location and details of the story that he was mostly repeating from eyewitnesses having no memory himself.

Having been drugged I empathize. I got very lucky that I didn't feel the effects too greatly until I had locked myself back into my hotel room alone, but it could have easily ended very similarly.

It seems the biggest lesson is not to be a total a'hole or you don't get any sympathy when you're a victim. And, to make the cut of course.

Where are you finding a source that confirms he was drugged?
It's still just him and his caddie who make that claim.

[/quote]+1...why are we jumping to the conclusion he was drugged? If anything, the conclusion would be he got hammered and passed out.
[/quote]

Consider that maybe he drugged himself with a couple bottles of wine.[/quote]

Or that his caddie provided him with the wrong dosage...err, yardage and that is why his face hit the sidewalk 6 miles short of its target...the pillow.

You have "class" because you believe a far fetched story that just about every rational personal has questioned? Did you watch his interview with Steve Sands? You don't have to be a body language expert to realize he was rambling and unsure of his OWN story. And then he goes on to say "I've seen taken and taken 2." Really man. Sound less sketchy.

Go listen to the homeless woman interview. Her story just about goes against everything his initial statement says. He should hire a PR agency to help him because the whole "Taken" defense isn't working out.

So yes. You seem extremely naive. I love Phil Mickelson too. That doesn't mean I believe every word that comes out of his mouth.

This story with Allenby is Grey. Not Black and White.
[/quote]

I'm waiting to reserve a bit more judgement for now, but there's a fair bit of irony in a reply that includes "listen to the homeless woman interview"...especially if you've ever heard any of the homeless here in Honolulu speak.
I'm not sure her version of the events is enough to necessarily disprove anything Allenby said, considering two things: 1) they have video of someone using his credit cards, and 2) we're talking to a guy trying to recall a few hours after he took what looks to be a pretty decent hit to the head. His story might not exactly match what others might have to say, but that doesn't mean he's making the whole thing up.
[/quote]

Another excellent post on the subject- thanks for giving all of us true insight as to what actually happens on the island. Especially since you live right there..

Anyone who calls out someone as naive then in the same breath uses the "listen to the homeless person" as support for their already weak argument is severely lacking in even the most elementary understanding of the situation.

Truly baffling indeed.

The only thing baffling was you trusting Robert Allenby

If he doesn't come forward and tell the truth, he will have to take a break from the tour for a year or two; long enough for people to forget. If he doesn't he will get booed and heckled at every event.

Or comeback after the next Tiger or DJ type incident so he can then fly under the radar.

Give the man a benefit of a doubt.

He got his movies mixed up.

Referring to "Taken " or "Taken 2" when he probably meant "Hangover" or "Hangover 2"

BrickDaFunk · January 23, 2015

About an hour ago, I walked up to this 168 yard Par 3 green...looked at my Callaway and said, "You missed!" The Callaway looks back and proceeds to give me this drawn-out elaborate story about how some ProV1's came along, kicked the crap out of him and stole his patent before tossing him out of a sleeve to where he lay. I responded with, "Don't give me some B.S. Allen-bye!" My callaway broke down..."The Dingo made me say it...just didn't want to break the news that it may never happen for you...cheers mate."

Allenby is currently as well thought of around Sony as the leader of N. Korea.

WHAT’S THE STORY?
THEN: Robert Allenby said he was drugged, abducted, bashed and robbed after leaving Waikiki’s Amuse Wine Bar in an ordeal reminiscent of the film Taken.
NOW: Homeless man Toa Kaili said Allenby was “beyond tipsy” and fell face first into a rock. Police have not opened a kidnapping investigation.

On the “abduction”
THEN: Allenby said he was lured to a carpark by two men, abducted in a car then dumped in a park 10km away. He said homeless woman Charade Keane found him as he was thrown from the car. He has since given her $1000 to thank her for saving his life.
NOW: CCTV footage shows Allenby staggering from Amuse Wine Bar with two men and a woman he met at the club. Keane said she found Allenby confused and bloodied around the corner from Amuse Wine Bar, not 10km away.

On Allenby’s injuries
THEN: Allenby said he was bashed in the face with a baseball bat or fist.
NOW: Police say Allenby’s wounds were not consistent with an assault but appeared to be the result of a scrape suffered from a fall.
Mr Kaili said his friend Chris Khamis was with Allenby when he fell, claiming he was “rocking back and forth, nodded off and face-planted into this damn jagged rock”.

On being robbed
THEN: Allenby said he was robbed of his wallet, phone and passport.
NOW: CCTV footage shows a man on a $10,000 spending spree with Allenby’s credit card.
Police believe there is a strong case against unauthorised use of Allenby’s credit card, but are yet to prove he was robbed. Mr Kaili said Allenby accused him and friend Chris Khamis of robbing him, then later told the pair he was robbed by “some punks”. Ms Keane told Channel Nine that Allenby was arguing with two people when she found him and that he offered to withdraw $500 on his last credit card in exchange for his wallet.

On how it ended
THEN:
Allenby said the ordeal ended when he ran down the street with Keane and came across a former military officer who took him back to his hotel.
NOW:
Keane said a military officer intervened in an argument and helped Allenby into a cab to his hotel.[/quote]

Great breakdown of an epic tale of booze fueled missed cut therapy

FairwaysToHeaven · January 23, 2015

What happens if it's proven Allenby made this story up.... In a sport that prides itself for honesty and integrity and relies on players telling the truth, is Allenby to be trusted on course if his story off the course is bogus

I think the pic proves he made multiple cuts last week.

theshield · January 23, 2015

Couldn't he be charged with obstruction of justice or falsifying a police report? Granted a crime was probably committed in the stealing of his wallet, but if man hours were deployed looking for the gang that drugged and kidnapped and beat him, when all of that was potentially bogus.....I don't think the local police would be happy to turn the other way

Yeah if thy classified this as a mugging, they would have to start charging morgue employees and airport baggage handlers with mugging. A couple of homeless guys rifling through what appeard to be a lifeless corpse laying at the side of the road may be a low act, but it aint a mugging.

I guess it's possible that he was drugged, which would give credence to staggering into the car park with three total strangers. The other question is who has his credit card and are they really running up the tab.

Unfortunately, other than that, all I got is jokes.

I don't think we know 100% the truth yet and it's possible we never will. It's just a strange story

Dpavs · January 24, 2015

[/quote]Nope. Just have to pick and choose. An Allenbypath curving away from the fairway would not be a good move. Now one curving into the fairway a bit okay. It is called course management.
