Golf Channel reporting he was headed to rolling hills CC to film something with Drew brees and Justin Herbert.  Valet at the hotel was slow and he was running late. 

Who knows. 

I know its early and who knows but if some of his team are trying to pin this on some hotel valet that is some bullshit.  call and tell them you, Tiger F'n Woods, will be late if they don't like it fuck off.

compound fractures in both legs per cnn. oof.

Man. A broken leg actually isn't the worst thing to come back from, but I can't imagine what rehab is like when it's BOTH of your legs. It's going to take him awhile to walk again let alone play golf. 

Just terrible. He may have been close to done anyway but not a great way to go out if this is the nail in the coffin.

After Alex Smith I would just be hoping for no infections.  might be time to call Morgan Freeman also.

Don't forget his back too.  Who knows how the accident effects his back in recovery.

So, one time I ran into a snow bank, and my truck’s alignment got ducked up, and then my dad jumped behind the wheel to “show me how to drive in the snow” and he ran it into the other snow bank but the alignment got fixed- cancelled itself out. Hopefully that’s what happens with this wreck and Tigers back. 
this is not how the third act is supposed to go.

Sucks man. I fucking love Tiger. Have to think we’ve seen the last of him playing golf. At least we’ll always have the 2019 Masters. 

I just hope he can walk again and loop for his kid at jr tournaments. 

I know hogan came back but he was 8 years younger. 

After all the shit he's been through and close to a billion in the bank imagine how hard it must be to get motivated yet again.

Imma go ahead and pencil him in for a top 10 finish in the 2023 Masters. After all the shit he’s overcome, and winning in ‘19, I don’t put anything past him…yet.

All that money gets heavy during the long and arduous trek toward "motivation".

They just said on ESPN that his legs were crushed, and as well as compound fractures, so I'd say you are probably closer to the actual result of this.

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, who knows. Medicine is starting to get really crazy with stuff like this. Durant tore his achilles which can be a death sentence for NBA guys and he looks as good as ever. Tiger will get the best treatment in the world if he wants it.

Hogan sustained a broken collarbone, a smashed rib, a broken ankle, a double fracture of the pelvis, bladder injuries, and deep contusions to his left leg.
 
Hogan was rushed to an El Paso hospital where doctors feared the legend would not live, and that if he did, he might never walk again. Hogan developed blood clots that reached his lungs. The doctors performed abdominal surgery and tied off the main vein to his leg to prevent further blood clots from reaching his heart. A second clot was discovered, and Hogan was operated on again.

Geez...1940s medicine....

The first tournament Hogan played after coming back? The LA Open at.....Riviera

I know, he was 8 years younger than Tiger is now, and Tiger has nothing left to prove to anyone, but let's hope he recovers enough to enjoy golf with his son

LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods is “awake, responsive and recovering” after undergoing emergency surgery following a car accident on Tuesday morning, according to an update posted by Woods’ camp.

The statement, released on Woods’ social channels, confirms that Woods was involved in a single-car accident this morning in Los Angeles before providing a detailed update on Woods' condition.

“Mr. Woods suffered significant orthopaedic injuries to his right lower extremity that were treated during emergency surgery by Orthopaedic trauma specialists at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center,” said Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer and interim CEO at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, as part of the update.

“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. Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle 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.”

Comminuted fractures refers to bone fragments or splinters.

The statement concludes: “There are no further updates at this time and we continue to thank you for your well-wishes and privacy for him and his family.”

Seems pretty gruesome.

In a statement posted to Tiger's Twitter account at 12:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Dr. Anish Mahajan, the chief medical officer and interim CEO of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said Woods suffered comminuted open fractures -- bones that were broken into more than two pieces and with breaks in the skin -- in the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula of his right leg.

 

Ooops, sorry for the double post

No way he on something.At some point the media has to cover his drug use.

Drugs was my first thought as well. However, it was 7-7:30 AM, how early would he have had to take some pills to make him unable to drive properly at 7? Could it have been residual from some pills he took the night before? I have no idea. Either way, he's damn lucky he didn't hit anyone else.

Welp, case closed. 

Yeah guys, it was an accident! That means there is nothing that he could possibly be charged with. Just like when you accidentally kill someone there's nothing you can be charged with. Or when you accidentally cut off three of your fingers with a band saw your fingers regrow automagically since it wasn't on purpose.

This is why you pay your PR folks the big bucks, to handle the message - the Ben Kenobi way - "These are not the opioids you're looking for."

Or you could just pay to have a driver.  Avoids the PR/legal issues and also keeps your body in one piece.  Two birds/one stone.

Officially LE/DA not charging him. Yet plenty of sites are saying they didn’t even test (ie get a SW for blood). Other sites saying he was agitated and in a hurry since he needed to be at an event by 7:30 and almost ran into a directors car when he was leaving the resort he was staying at right before the crash. Other sites saying that he looked basically fried/out of it/on something the day before the crash during his interview with Jim Nantz. I shouldn’t have posted earlier that he was definitely on something and in no way does he deserve these gruesome injuries. However I find it highly unlikely that he was not in a variety of substances. He’s had like 5 back surgeries in 5 years basically and his 2017 DUI he was on 5 different substances to manage pain. No way he’s not addicted to them. He never went to rehab as far as we know and those substances he had in his system on 2017 ( Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) ) can all impair your driving ability.

He very well could have been clean and sober but I highly doubt it. He looked so awful during the Jim Nantz interview. I am sorry though for his injuries. It would be sad indeed not to have him in golf.

Yeah the cynic in me doesn't really care if they charge him with anything or not, because it's Tiger Woods so what does it actually matter...

But to say they aren't/can't press any charges because it was an accident is ridiculous. If he was DUI he was DUI. It doesn't matter what happened to him or the car or whether he hit anything or not. It's illegal in itself and he could have easily hit and killed or injured someone else.
