Tiger Arrested For DUI (NO POLITICS, RELIGION, PERSONAL ATTACKS, ...)

[farmer]

All this rehab talk is rumor, but it is somewhat telling that no one from the Tiger camp has issued any statement debunking the rumor. On the other hand, no major news outlet has any reports out there.

Him destroying his own legend is reaching Mike Tyson level

 

Edit: also, a Champions Dinner in honor of Sergio Garcia where Tiger is not attending because he is in rehab can make WRX reach levels never reached before!

 

Comparing,

 

Pain meds and/or dui? (That happens hundreds of thousands of times a month in suburbia.)

 

to

 

Biting someones ear off on international TV and conviction for rape?

 

Well, that's just a bit of a stretch.

 

 

Let's hope TW shows up for Sergio's dinner. Fried chicken? ; )

 

It a process ;)

 

Let's hope not.

 

Per Dante, humans can fall a long, long way ; )

As I posted, Golfweek reported it as well, could be the same source but I don't think Golfweek would just publish it if they didn't do some research.

of course it's the same article, it says that in the top paragraph.

 

Tiger Woods has entered rehab, according to a report Monday.

Faced with possibly losing joint custody of his two young kids after his DUI arrest in Florida on Memorial Day, Woods has begun treatment for addiction to prescription pills, Radar Online reported.

he has not hit bottom yet if he is worried about clearing out a treatment center for his private use.

 

You want help, sit in group and experience what others have been through. lean on them for support, build a support system that is people not catering to you.

 

We will see how important his kids are to him, as losing joint custody should be enough to get him to the bottom, and understand he really has no options if he wants to be an involved father.

 

Time to sack up/man up and face the issues.

Do you know that him renting an entire wing (if true) doesn't include the best professionals his vast wealth can afford to help him out?

I have some friends whose kids were addicts and 30 days isn't enough to do much more than detox and get started on recovery. Most programs are longer and suggest a half way house recovery period to give individuals time to adjust to life without drugs and to surround themselves with others to support their recovery.

 

If Tiger leaves after 30 days and goes back to his mansion alone, it's going to be tough to not fall back into his old habits.

This whole business of renting out the entire place seems odd. I understand privacy concerns but wouldn't it be much simpler to invite all of the Doctors, Therapists and whomever to come spend a month at his house. The place is like 50,000 square feet, has a guest house and who knows what else.

 

Maybe he just needs to get away from home and this place in Jupiter is close.

 

The report said he took his kids to visit this facility before he signed up.

 

Curiouser and curiouser....

Lol. After a month at TW's, *they* might all need rehab ; )

Come on guys we are so close to page 100; then we can put this one to bed....

"This is a Stanford graduate, right?"

 

Nope. He's a college dropout.

I believe that that was one of the only questions that he understood, processed and answered articulately and appropriately when he replied something along the lines of, "I completed my sophomore year at Stanford" when asked his education level.

 

Have a nice day��

Had to be demoralizing when asked if he knew the English alphabet and what the highest level of education he had completed "sophomore in college". Oh well, I'm sure there are statistics out there showing college dropouts are more prone to substance abuse than those who finish their degree. Although Notah has a problem with booze, maybe it's time the NCAA looked into the culture of the Stanford golf team. Is Wally Goodwin to blame for this after all?

 

This is such a douchebag post. You are taking everything completely out of context on purpose just to dig at the guy.

 

The alphabet question is a sobriety test, not an intelligence test. For the same reason people are asked to walk the line, that doesn't mean they never learned to walk.

 

This "college dropout" decided to take a $200M payout from Nike and win The Masters by twelve shots in what would have been his junior year. He had won three US Ams in a row, he had nothing left to prove at that level and delaying his career by two more years made absolutely zero sense. He then built a swing with Harmon over his "senior year" that went on to win five out of six majors, the career Grand Slam, and the Tiger Slam just shortly after he would have graduated. You're telling me a degree in economics means anything at this point?

 

I'm not even going to get into the Tiger and Notah addiction comments because they are classless. I will however say that correlation does not equal causation.

 

Bruh, I think it went over your head and that's fine, RP got it and that's all that's matters. My post was a sarcastic dig at TW, all of us participating in this thread and those blaming the doctors, the police and everyone else except TW. Like I said, RP understood and even quipped back. You missed it like a Mookie Wilson grounder though.

addiction = ritualized compulsive comfort-seeking

 

doesnt matter if it's sex, drugs or winning golf tournaments. it's a normal physiologic response to coping with adverse experiences, usually stemming from our childhood
