This is the truth, and yet, so many want to jump in and defend this reckless driver.

Sorry, but can't feel sorry for him, for putting others in danger with his reckless behavior.

 

I still feel bad for TW. He’s paying a steep price.

 

We have all driven recklessly....

 

One time, I was on the Triborough bridge, driving like a madman cause this Italian girl was makin me ziti and I was running late!

 

I pulled a dopey move, got rear ended at full stop by a Bronco that was doing like 50. My hatchback jumped a lane, hit the center divider, rolled onto its side and everything went into slowwwwww motion....

 

I saw my car rolling right off the bridge and plummeting a hundred feet into the river!

 

But I had Uncle Rico reflexes back then and I somehow extricated my legs as the car rolled so I ended up standing on the passenger door as the car slid to a stop on its passenger side!

 

Then, I walked out the back of the hatchback!

 

There were like a thousand people in stopped cars staring at me like I was a ghost. This lady ran to me and hugged me like, “You’re alive!”

 

So, I call the girl from the bridge to tell her what happened and she’s like,

 

”So, are you coming? I made all this ziti”

 

😂

 

Anyway, point is, I could have been killed or hurt others and it would have been all my fault.

 

This seems like TWs fault but I can still feel bad for him.

This is the greatest story ever told!

The most likely explanation seems to be that he was running late, drove too fast, and ultimately wrecked. I'm glad to hear the police thought he was coherent and speaking with them while he was in the car. 

 

The two things that don't add up though

 

i) Why were there no signs of the brakes being applied at the scene? It's like 200 feet from where he hit the sign to where the car wound up.

ii) Why would he feel the need to rush? He's worth a billion dollars, one of the most famous people on the planet - the show starts when you get there. 

[Vardon Grip]

You didn't even consider that maybe Frank was driving? He's the only one in custody.

And also no skid marks at all. It’s weird.

I hope people do see him at the Masters this year, it would be perfect to see him at the 1st tee for the ceremonial start of the tournament where people could see him recovering from the accident and give him their best wishes. There would be a lot of wet eyes if he could show up there, and it would do him some good as well. shoot, if he can let him putt on a hole somewhere or make a swing or two at the par 3 course if he can do it.

 

Frankly I doubt he will be able far enough along in his therapy/recovery to go, but maybe some sports book can put a line up as motivation for him.

Well, a simple post search by user will let you know who some of the nutty people are.  Some of the same people have been going at this for years...in all the Tiger threads...so nothing new there.

I'd start with a potential conflict between those two points.

Why are you being a jerk? I made an observation. Maybe he's stopped working out. Maybe he's taking cortisone for swelling. Lighten up...Jeez. My other comment was a suggestion and remains valid.

My apologies for that. Being fatigued can cause that as well. My first thought when I saw that interview was that he looked completely worn out due to tournament and contractual obligations that week.  Driving probably gives him some kind of normalcy or independence since people want to do everything for wealthy people. 

[KAndyMan]

Looks like he missed that phone pole right next to the road!
This couldve been a much worse situation. Its selfish at this moment to worry about seeing him play let alone win more majors.
Lets just be grateful he is still with us and can share his knowledge of this game we all love! From the pictures we couldve been very easily singing a different tune at this moment. 
FWIW remember he has won with a broken leg before... maybe not compound fracture but screws/plates can fix those. Painful as a sum &!tch

not to mention if they have to cut muscles/tendons and the rehab if they do is MISERABLE!

Ah...starting to make some sense now.

 

Terranea is a posh place, lots of big bungalows for privacy, so I can see TW staying there.  A little odd though given it would take forever to drive from Riviera to there...

 

And the TMZ story sounds totally legit because I can see Terranea being popular for photo/commercial shoots.  The real legitimacy come from getting out of that place with valet, f'n sucks.  It's a pretty wide U to the lobby, but so many cars parked close to each other with people just doing what they feel like to pop in and get their lattes.  Last time there, it was literally 30 minutes to get out, I was pissed too trying to get to Trump National on time (another story).

 

But calling Terranea a golf resort is hilarious.  It's got a nine hole pitch and putt (ok, maybe if it is windy a 9 iron is needed), great condition, but it is small.

 

A lot of people drive fast on Palos Verdes Dr and Hawthorne, it is standard.  Worse, if there is some traffic then you got the weavers going in and out of left/right lane.  So he gets the latte at Starbucks on the corner, heads up Hawthorne, going a little too fast, mistakes the Hyundai for the handling of his Porsche, check the text while sipping the latte and oops that corner came up too fast!

 

 

 

This is most likely the sequence of events. I grew up here and have driven that road thousands of times. 

 

If youre not riding the brakes its easy to get up to 75mph without thinking anything of it. in fact, there is an emergency truck runoff full of sand and rocks right next to where tiger crashed (just like they have on the grapevine).

 

I'm guessing he was sending an "i'm gonna be late" text, looked up, and at that point just hold on.

It also could mean Tiger is looking more like Earl facially as he gets older. Happens to a lot of us; I've noticed it in Tiger the last couple of years.

 

I'm getting older but I still look nothing like Earl

Well, talking to Jim Vance can lead to nausea.

“screws/plates can fix those”?!

Tigers golf career is finished. Let’s hope he lives. He be happy to walk and maybe play with Charlie.
 

Plus, he gonna have like a Federal license revocation. Do they have that? If not they invent it for him. 
 

“Screws/plates can fix those” 

 

You rock KAM ; )

 

TW got more hardware in him than like

Do we know if Tiger is out of surgery yet? I haven't seen anything saying he has, would think Steinberg will have a statement on the extent of the injuries & prognosis when he is out.

Good point. That would just be weird.

Haven’t heard anything yet. Gary Williams and Kraig Kann were on SXM until 10:30 PM and there was nothing at that point on this specifically.

Good God man. The investigation is far from over and don't even know what caused the accident. Jail time? Hope you never serve on a jury.

I have several times.  None were innocent.

I did not see the news conference. Was a cause of the accident given? If not, it belies commons sense not to ponder the possible causes. While it does happen,, it is not normal for a vehicle to randomly flip off the road.

That’s exactly the point, the cause of the accident hasn’t been determined yet and is under investigation.

 

The sheriff did say that there was no sign of intoxication and that Tiger seemed lucid though, so doesn’t that mean the DUI accusations were premature and that we should be staying more open-minded to what the actual cause could have been?

Has this incident been confirmed as reckless driving? 

If he wasn’t driving recklessly or too fast, he wouldn’t have crashed.

[lynchfan]

The golf media and "journalists" are a joke. It's like they're waiting for Steinny to release the next TW statement... for once I'd like to see them break a story instead of being afraid of trying to upset anyone. 

 

This is a huge story and the only thing that is being reported by them is what has been made public.

How about standing up for victims of reckless driving?  You ever done that?  You give it a rest.

The only victim in this incident is Tiger Woods. Are you saying I should stand up for him?

[Guia]

My favorite golfer.  Not sure how many times he can come back, it isn't looking good.  However, it is Tiger.

 

Hogan came back in 53 and won 3 Majors. Hope he can follow suit.

[capking]

I’ve read 2 pages of this thread and regret it already.

[Wolfie1]

GC is speculating. Interviewing a sports journalist who knows the area of the crash. He can't understand how someone could crash at the Blackhorse Rd. intersection. Trouble is, they got that wrong. Happened halfway towards Palos Verdes on the steep part.

Lol. My god dude. He’s not going to jail and he’s not losing his license. His insurance premiums will go up like everyone else’s would. 

Maybe also cut a cheque for the courtesy car, as a courtesy.

The world needs you Tiger! Hope he recovers like nothing happened!
