I always thought he pitched for Buick. Perhaps the most American of American car companies.

Yea, that Buick endorsement ended a while back.

I'm sure he wasn't hurt in a Genesis vehicle due to liking Genesis cars. I'm sure they are paying him or his foundation a lot to be the face of the tournament that they've tried to turn into almost like being 1 of the 4 major golf tournament(it does attract a top field of golfers....they want that trophy ...presented by Tiger.) Pathetic thing is Tiny Finau (Samoan/ Tongan -American) had a putt to win that tournament on Sunday, and missed it. He has had so many top 5 finishes on the PGA Tour but has only won 1 tournament. The 2016 Puerto Rican Open. A tournament that is called an "Alternate Event," because the top 60 ranked golfers in the World play in a bigger event during the same week. It's a Foster Child thing, and he needs to win a real PGA Tournament.

I don't think he was just late for a 7:30 appointment, drove too fast, and went off the road (with no skids marks on the road.) That's the way the Sheriffs are trying to present this, because he's so loved in SOCAL.

Most car accidents are caused by 2 people doing something wrong. It can be 10/90, 50/50, 20/80...Various degrees of wrongdoing by both parties. If 1 of the 2 parties does the totally right thing, then, the accident can usually be avoided. If someone drives defensively, they can usually make up for someone else's risk taking mistake. Clearly there was quite a bit of speed involved here. Usually a difference in speed causes the car going too fast to have to make a decision to hit a slower car, or hit other things. Basically, a slower car takes the spot that a fast car had (wrongly) relied on taking. A lot of times 2 fast cars will be seeing who can get to a single spot that they both want, and a slower car will take that spot. There isn't a chance to recover from that scenario.

Could just be something caused by him taking too many pain meds. He does have a history of doing that. He didn't look very comfortable on Sunday (in an interview.) He complained of pain on Monday. He doesn't like to cancel out of commitments.

I think the Sheriffs need to accept the fact that at 7:12 in the morning on damn near any road in L.A. County, someone will have seen what took place. So, they are gunna get burned, if they try to do him a little cover up.

Never thought I'd see Tiger in a County Hospital. Only trauma center down in that area. Hope he doesn't catch a bug. Should try to get him out of there as soon as they can. Get him on a private plane back to Florida.


Comminuted Open Fractures= single bones broke into multiple pieces, and broke through the skin.

Head of Surgery wrote:

"Tiger had Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones... were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia.Tiger also suffered serious injuries to his right ankle and foot
which were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins.
Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling.
Tiger is currently "awake, responsive, and recovering in his hospital room."

Let's just hope he survives. This type of stuff is a shock to the system, and it can cause blood clots, and many possible other problems. Infection is always a possibility. Helps that it's a fairly new car. Hurts that he was taken to an L.A. County Public Hospital in the middle of a pandemic. The ability of the staff isn't a concern. The infection control is always a concern in our County Hospitals.
