If it wasn't for cheating on his wife with a long list of prostitutes he might well have, but not now.Now is the time he should become one of those "beloved legends" like Arnie, Jack, etc.

With the amount of damage to that front end, it's going to be a LONG time before he's able to walk again-let alone play golf. Pray the old boy gets to walk again; he can try golf later.
That impact on the front was completely dead center-had to be a high rate of speed to generate that kind of damage.

I'm surprised he survived to be honest, and the day is still young on that prognosis.

I hate to say it, but he might not survive it. Blood clots in the legs with that amount of injury (think IED going off under you without severing your legs) are a given.
I'm not a crash expert, but I look at cars trucks and SUVs every day-that crash was BAD. Bad as in marginally survivable. Media is focusing on the leg injuries-head and torso injuries have to be in play as well. That suv looks like it hit a wall straight on at a high rate of speed. At 60 mph, a crash like that is equivalent to falling off a 9 story building. Not to mention the secondary and tertiary head and neck injuries; the leg injuries are minimal compared to the neck and head. Curtain side airbags at those velocities aren't going to do much, if anything at all.

I am not saying he was under any influence. But he could not possibly have been tested for all of that yet. Perscribed Prescription drugs included. So that report is not credible based on the timing. What this tells me is that even if he was impaired then the fix is in.

Tiger sure isn't good at driving. Maybe he should just work on his short game. Didn't he run himself over a few years back?

I doubt that he was impaired at 7 am. Update, it was a single car accidental roll over. No other vehicle involved. I was miss informed earlier.

sorry nope
LA Sheriff in news briefing says SOLO vehicle (2020 Genesis SUV)
There was another accident down the road from the Tiger crash

Yup I just edited my post. I had heard two vehicles involved in earlier reports from faux news.

Goodness before greatness.
He was across that street traveling (North which is downhill). He is said to have hit a medium city boundary sign as he crossed the elevated curbed medium, crossed into the oncoming traffic lane, jumped that curb, and rolled UP-HILL a few more flipping car lengths.
I know that road a bit.
He is extremely lucky not to have involved other lives.
A lot of young Kamikaze challenge their vehicles and themselves on this down hill run.
Now I’m reading just up the post above this one, other vehicles were involved. Oh boy. Makes a lot more sense now.
The media are whore’s for lying about that.

I told my son you said this ^^^^^^^^^^^ and he said he was stupid for taking a 7 AM meeting. He jumped out of bed at @ 6:45, ran in the shower, and stumbled out the door wet. Without his coffee. That'll do it.

Yes, I heard he was staying on the South side of the peninsula, while trying to make time traveling up & over & around to the North-West side of the hill. Golf course hotel, to golf course.
Hill’s have no pity for those who ignore the laws of physics, or sound judgement behind the wheel.

Prayers for him.
Ever ride as a passenger with someone on pain meds for their back? You know, the serious meds they give for a serious condition? Well you won’t do it again unless you’re seriously wasted.
I hate to see this happen to anyone. However, even if the “statement” says no drugs, I have a REALLY difficult time believing that. But he’s screwed up everything now either way you look at it. Of course, he will receive wonder care. Not what we would receive.
If you have “handlers” they can pretty much get anyone to say anything. Not saying that’s what happened, but uh, you can also say day after day that Bidet has no mental issues and a lot of people will believe it. But I’m a pessimist I know. I call BS.

Actually Woods was in a single vehicle accident. Another driver stopped to render aid and his car was struck by another vehicle. It was a minor accident and neither of those drivers were hurt.

Ohh............ TRACTION. I was in the hospital once and they rolled my new roommate in. She had a compound fracture of one leg too. She had been hanging a plant near the ceiling and fell off the chair she was standing on. She told me she had to stay in there for around 6 weeks, I think it was. They had this crazy traction thingy on her. I went over and looked at her leg. It was solid black and purple, and shiny.
Ouch! Yeah, he's on the wrong side of 40 for those to knit easily and well, although they have some truly amazing therapies these days, and as others mentioned above, he'll get the best available. But I think a return to top level competitive golf is unlikely... although I also thought Drew Brees' multiple rib fractures and collapsed lung would be career ending- and he led the Saints to the championship game! Modern medicine plus human heart is truly amazing.

I was writing that I saw a double entendre with the word "drive" you had written.
No, he won't be *driving* anymore. Cars or golf clubs.

That's one of the new Genesis suv's. Hyundai makes them, they're trying to make the genesis brand in the image of Lexus. Extremely high quality build and finish. 5 star rated crash protection too.
I'd definitely label this a marginally survivable accident.

I predict he will try to make a comeback, even if brief. Alex Smith, an NFL QB, made it back to the field after a gruesome leg injury not unlike Joe Theismann's. Though he won't be the same for sure.
And I don't expect Tiger to be the same either. With a back that still doesn't cooperate, and now with a likely long recovery for his legs, he'll be lucky to give it one last set of tournaments. That'll be all he gets probably, but I bet he will attempt it.

Genesis vehicles are supremely crash worthy.
If any vehicle would give itself up for an occupant (which is what vehicle structures do for occupants...they absorb energy and destroy themselves in the process), it'a a Genesis.
I have a G80.
He may have been unfamiliar with his new car, but he got the right one

Been in a similar accident in a Jeep cj5 in 1986, wish Tiger all my prayers. Believe me it is not something you ever want to go thru... Still living with the injury’s today.
