I feel for him and hope he's ok. My immediate thoughts as well. I was listening to Nance interviewing him at the Genesis and probing (as they all do) about how are you feeling and when are you returning. Tiger looked really tired to me... just kind of worn out. Hope all works out OK. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites

ZenGolfer 825 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This story is so bizzarre. I know they are saying now that there was no sign of impairment but how this crash happened with no drug or alcohol impairment makes no sense. I wish Tiger all the best and hope he is able to recover but so much about this makes no sense right now. Of course, because of who he is, no one really wants to ask the tough questions and is hoping and praying that this wasnt related to drugs/alcohol. Im just curious what the truth is. 1 Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?

Popeye64 598 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I know people are immediately pointing to drugs but he may have been distracted driving or fell asleep at the wheel.

FrogginBullfish 1,772 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Distracted driving, unfamiliarity with the rental car he was driving, a mechanical failure with the car, etc etc.There are plenty of other explanations for the accident that don't involve alcohol or drug use. It's easy to point to the prescription drugs given his issue with them in the past and that he was coming off back surgery but with the sheriff's department coming out and saying there was no indication of impairment, I think it's safe to rule that out.More information will come out as the incident is investigated. It's all speculation now and the important thing is Tiger's recovery and that no one else was injured. This story is so bizzarre. I know they are saying now that there was no sign of impairment but how this crash happened with no drug or alcohol impairment makes no sense.

Popular Post GolfSpy MPR 10,725 Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 Once again, let's not speculate on the cause. This isn't about protecting Tiger. It's because we don't know; right now, we can't know, so by definition, we'll be arguing with absolutely no ability to resolve the argument. It's a recipe for strife without resolution on the Forum. There are plenty of places to post your speculations; this won't be one of them. 15 Quote Epic Flash Sub Zero, 9°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 X Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XTD Proto dHy 21°, Aldila Green NV Hybrid 105 S 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 5–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° Stroke Lab EXO Seven Mini, 34" Z-Star XV Full WITB with pictures Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect we won't see him on course this year unfortunately but his health is most important. Sent from my Pixel 2 using MyGolfSpy mobile app All reports I’ve seen have said multiple leg fractures and he was in surgery. Hopefully not career ending because Sundays are electric with Tiger in the mix. 2 Quote Schwing! Link to post Share on other sites

And if you get distracted by a cell phone or changing a song or anything, it can happen in a flash. Not to mention it was 7am and he was probably still half asleep. I get up at 4am myself and even I'd be half asleep at 7am. Lol. I really hope it was that and not drugs. I dont love everything Tiger has done but I'm still a fan and someone who has an immense amount of respect for the man.I hope he recovers and can play competitive golf at some point, if that's what he wants to do.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?

SlowNLow 384 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hopefully with Tiger and anyone who suffers compound fractures will heal and recover without complications from infections and the like. Infections are so dangerous. Heal and get back to normal living. Small steps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PMookie 13,623 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 A HS buddy of mine lives right around the corner from where the crash happened, and passed it early this morning, but obviously didn’t know who it was at the time. His house is the red dot, where the wreck happened is marked in yellow.

TBT 3,108 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Unfortunately I think this injury combined with the recent back surgery will probably mean it will be a very long time before we see Tiger tee it up again and who knows if he will ever really be competitive again.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote King F7+ UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 6F4 Shaft King F7 3W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 5W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 4 Hybrid Graphite Designs Tour AD-HY 95 Shaft King F7 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 Shafts King PuR Wedges 50*,54*,58* UST Mamiya Recoil 95 Shafts Metal X Milled #7 with SuperStroke 3.0 grip Arccos Generation 1 Sensors on all clubs Snell MTB Twitter: @timldotson Instagram: timldotson Facebook: TimDotson Link to post Share on other sites
