Tiger Woods

Fox commentator was going on how a big SUV is what saved his life, and how he would have not survived in a small car

I’m thinking the big ass SUV on a winding road IS the reason

Agree but I bet they don't reveal anything about the cell phone. That would take some pretty good reporting skills....

That would be a good bet.

Understand now?

No. This "news" was neither important nor interesting.

Sheriff's dept should be looking into cell phone records to see if he was on the phone as part of their investigation.

Whether it becomes public or not is another question entirely.

[Crowbob]

I'm pretty sure the insurance company will be checking the phone records.

Rental...

Hyundai Genesis

I got laid on that road 40 years ago.....of course it was quite a different road.....Nissan 4x4 with a camper cap. Yes it was with a girl and not a blow up doll.

W.G.A.S. He's an entertainer, nothing more.

Was there a blond next to him "à la" Tony Soprano and the stripper in his Chevrolet Suburban?

Certainly a factor.

Very true.
But a smooth 10 sec video with added graphics would be ridiculously easy with all the tech available.
I'd watch that.

Agreed. And admittedly curious.

I'll look for updates because I think he has potential off the course.

Curious to see what trips his trigger. Could be amazingly positive, or not.

Nope, nothing to see here.

Yes.
Jim Thorpe, Jessie Owens and Bo Jackson would definitely have to up their putting game to be considered in that same category.

Wishing Tiger a full recovery.

side note: God, please don't let me go out in a Hyundai!

I know, right? And Renault has been the best F1 team in the modern era!

That area be Wayne's hood....Sugar needs to STFU.

So it was a single occupant car crash. No one kneeling in the passenger side.

F Tiger W. There I said it in the open interwebs. Yep he is a golf stud and media sensation but also a **** bag of a human. I don’t give a crap if he recovers and wins more PGA or is relegated to a wheelchair calling the shots on TV. Honestly I just don’t F ing care at all.

[Bill Douglas]

My thoughts exactly. If the big dogs shoot themselves in the foot it just makes room for the next (more deserving) up and coming.

I'll admit that I don't follow the guy closely but how did you come to that conclusion?

I've never heard anything particularly negative about him and a lot of people seem to love him, including fellow golfers.

[LakeCleElum]

Looks like Tiger landed in the ROUGH on this one....
