+1 I hope he is okay, but he's just another athlete turned train wreck.

He continues to attract lots of personal chaos. He is 45 yo. I guess you cannot change tiger's stripes.

Tiger is lucky to be alive. His seat belt saved him. His car rolled several times as well, he should have been thrown out. But he wasn't which is wonderful.

Whether you love him or hate him, he's got kids who do love him so I am thankful he is alive. He will get the best medical care because he's rich and famous. If he can't play golf again, that's sad for him, but he's financially secure so it won't be a deal breaker.

If there is anything you can take from this it is to stop speeding and wear your seatbelt. Some are like Tiger and live, others are like my cousin and die. I hate to see even one more.


I worry about the pill addiction from the pain and multiple surgeries. In addition to medical help, he needs mental/addiction team working with him monitoring meds.


Oh and I’m very sorry about your cousin’s son. My cousin’s husband was killed a few weeks ago in a crash—she found out she was pregnant with their second child a week after the funeral.

I didn't know there was a Drew Brees connection. At first I thought he was high or drunk but now it sounds like he was driving way too fast.

While under the influence.

I heard on the news that that section of highway has a lot of accidents. He was lucky. I wish him a full recovery. His 2009 cheating reveal is far behind him. I’m not going to assume he is addicted to drugs.

Look, he seems like a total jerk of a person, but he clearly has had lifelong emotional/spiritual/psychological pain and turmoil, and with the damage the sport and now this accident have caused his body, he will continue to be in chronic physical pain every day for the rest of his life. That sucks.

People either are jealous of greatness or hold people to standards that they can't achieve themselves. He is a golfer, that's what he does, who cares about the rest. If you are obsessed with him failing then he succeeded at annoying you.



He has definitely succeeded in annoying me. I had a lot of respect for him as a golfer and he seemed like a decent family guy until the shit hit the fan with all his cheating and total disregard for the effect on his wife and kids. He has serious serious issues that $900 million won't solve. His comeback in golf has been mildly successful but more often not. I'd say now he's done with pro golf. The karma bus has pretty much run right over him. I am not inclined to forgive and forget as many people are just because he was once a great golfer. I'm glad he didn't die though. I don't personally believe narcissistic serial cheaters deserve to die for their sins.


They divorced 10 years ago and his ex-wife has moved on with a child from her boyfriend. Get over it.
