He was running late to meet Drew Brees at the golf course, hence probably the speeding out of the hotel. I read he was going to give him a golf lesson. I would doubt he was impaired going to that. I know when I’m running late, I drive faster so he may very well have just been try I g to get there on time.
if you can be commonly pulled for 80mph in a 45mph, what speed was he doing to lose it?
Mebbe 40mph + over the limit???? Thats insane. Its dangerous, rich famous jerks like this who need to be seen to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - like that appalling Grossman case.
I used to love Tiger in his prime. He was incredible.
To all of you "perfect" drivers out there...it could happen to you. What's really disturbing is the lack of empathy on this thread.

He has numerous impairment issues in the past while driving. In short he is a drug addict who drives impaired. He is a time bomb waiting to slaughter a young girl in a car crash.

You routinely speed? There are speed limits for a reason. You are a terrible person for speeding and risking the lives of others. You probably run through red lights as well, jackass.
If you don’t routinely speed you’re a loser. People that drive 30 in a 30 are the worst.

Right, I am hardly the biggest Tiger fan out there, but the bottom line he likely just screwed up and got distracted, just as anyone else could have. There is TMZ video of him driving very normally probably 5 minutes before the crash. Maybe a cell phone call or message. Maybe just the view north as you go down the road there. All I know is for a while we won't have live coverage of every shot of his on a course, whether he is in first place or last place in the tournament. Tough road ahead for him.
Holy cow. I have just google driven down the road he crashed on.
Its virtually impossible to go too fast to lose control cornering.
He went an awful long way through trees.
He was going way too fast but looks like something made him lose control.
Do you think any potential DUI charge would be worse than the punishment he already received?

Nope. Operating a motor vehicle beyond both its and your capabilities is how people get killed. Obviously he learned nothing from his previous infractions.

Doesn't make you a good driver just because you obey the speed limits.
Driving is actually a skill, more difficult than operating most manufacturing machinery, which the majority won't be allowed to do, and those who do have continuous training. driving has all of that plus the uncertainty of other people, and unlike machinery, you cannot just hit the safety switch.
Yet everybody thinks they are a good driver because they obey the speed limit and because they view it as a right

The sheriff said not necessary because the fire dept Involved. I don't understand that. He was speeding and driving recklessly. He was likely on drugs. Why??? was he not tested?
they didn't administer a sobriety test because he had multiple compound fractures and couldn't exit the vehicle because his legs were smashed inside the front end of the car.

For any loser SJW looking to cancel Tiger Woods, he is basically uncancellable. He is very well liked and respected, even with a list of irresponsible and hurtful behavior in his past. Perhaps it's this human element of not being perrfect coupled with his near perfection at his peak on the golf course, and his intriguing comeback story after the adversity and injuries that just draws people towards him.
Perhaps his fame drew him to poor behavior and decisions. He may have addiction issues as the previous DUI, the sex chasing despite a wife and kids and potential drug abuse would suggest. Even with rehab, these problems can be difficult to absolve. Tiger has always been the type to live on the edge. Especially with the money he has he can do anything he wants. I really hope he was sober and not driving recklessly here. I'm also hoping the police did their job right in indicating he appeared sober. Lastly I hope Tiger can heal well from the injuries and win another major tourney.
The election was stolen, but there’s been literally little deep investigation into how a man as feeble as Biden gathered 80+M votes.
It’s a rich popular black athlete who was critically injured in a single car crash/accident... Just move along with the cnn/espn narrative..nothing to see here.
When did Tiger downgrade from Hooters waitresses to Waffle House whores?

Yep that's how the world works, buddy. Life ain't fair. Not all things are fair. Some people have advantages. Others disadvantages. We just have to deal with things, many of which we really have no control over.
A single car crash wrote:
Single car crashes seem pretty uncommon for sober people going the speed limit. I'm not even really sure how it happens. And then you take into his history, and it makes it more likely he didn't just go around a turn that was sharper than he expected.
When I first heard about this crash, I instantly assumed he was impaired with pain killers. I do hope they tested for that. If that's true, he needs to be locked up as this isn't the first time.
However, I read that he left his hotel agitated and nearly hit a guy in the parking lot there. The issue was he was supposed to be giving Drew Breees a golf lesson and was really late.
"Golf Digest says Tiger was scheduled to arrive at Riviera Golf Course at 7:30 AM PT for a shoot ... he was reportedly going to give Drew Brees lessons. The issue is Riviera is at least an hour drive from the resort where Tiger was staying. You get the picture ... if he was heading out just before 7 AM, then he knew he was running late."
Sohe's driving super fast in a rental on a road where there are a lot of accidents. Perhaps it was just too much speed or maybe he either looks at the GPS (remember he doesn't live there), gets a text, etc. and starts to roll. Or m aybe he's also on pain meds.

I routinely speed as well (and quite significantly), but I'm one of the safest drivers on the road.
I minimize distractions (no phone etc), and stay very alert always looking for pedestrians, cyclists, cops, and distracted drivers. I have a fairly new car in good condition. I am cautious with respect to red lights and crosswalks despite the common practice around here being to fly through for a few seconds. I slow down in slippery conditions, at night, or where deer are likely. See you on the road!

What's "fullest extent of the law"? He's guilty of speeding and possibly DUI. The worst he can expect is a fine, which he can afford, suspension of his DL and an increase in his insurance premiums. It matters that it was a single car accident. He can't be prosecuted for what might have happened.
He wasn't driving a rental. He was driving a Genesis SUV courtesy car from the tournament.
He spent Sunday night, all day Monday and Monday night making countless appearances and free golf lessons. He was probably wiped out and slept in late Tuesday morning, hence making him late for his 7:30 photo shoot. He was driving too fast. That's all. How many of you haven't done the same?
Give the guy a break. He's lucky to be alive.
I hope for a full recovery from his extensive injuries, but its probably the end of his golf career which would be a sad loss for golf. He doesn't have the charisma to be a TV analyst, so who knows what's next for him.
But, he is Tiger Woods, so never bet against him.
Have some compassion people. He who is without sin cast the first stone.
Media reported that Tiger did not seem to be aware of the severity of his injuries when emergency crews pulled him out. That could just be shock or it could be that he was so pumped up with pain meds that he couldn't feel that his tibia snapped in two.
