Wow. Somehow hadn’t heard. Sounds familiar and I hope he’s okay and this wasn’t from a relapse.
Currently in surgery. Single-car rollover at 7:12 am. Extracted by “jaws of life.” The photos I have seen look horrific. Hope he’ll come through okay.

That sucks. When I saw thread title I was hoping it was from years ago.
Single car accident.
Multiple leg injuries.
In surgery now.
And just out of back surgery, too. When I had minor back surgery, I wasn't supposed to drive for a week or so. I hope it wasn't something dumb on his own part, such as driving after taking pain pills, but either way he was driving solo, so at least nobody esle was injured. Maybe it was some mechanical failure like a tire blowout.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Compound leg fractures. His season is over. Maybe even his chance to ever win again at his age.
Terrible news. I hope he fully recovers.

Ugh.

It was one of this past weekend's tournament courtesy cars (see logo on door). Though he didn't play, Tiger was the tournament host.
Edit: Also now saying it was a 2-car collision. That changes things (as far as conjecture on his state of mind) significantly.

It's a shame that Tiger has been such a troubled soul. I hope he can eventually outrun his demons, but it sounds like for right now, they've caught up to him again.
I don't know anything about the circumstances either, but isn't it a little early to be attributing this to "demons?" I don't know exactly where this occurred, but Palos Verdes is an area with a lot of difficult and steep terrain. This easily could have had nothing to do with Tiger's "demons," whatever those are.
Don't be so sure. In my 3 month old 2019 IMG_6843.jpgIMG_6845.jpgSUV with about 5000 miles on it and the tires, I had a blowout on I-40. When I got to the roadside about 4 miles later, these pictures are what were left of my tires. I literally road on the tire sidewall for about 3 miles. My can of "Fix-A-Flat" was over-matched!
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

I agree with tommy. Too early to jump to conclusions. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Sorry, it's now appearing that Tiger is the culprit whether or not other cars were involved, and whether he was impaired (they say no indication, would they have taken a blood sample and have results yet?) or careless.

Woods' SUV first hit the center median on the road, Villanueva said.
"From there, [the SUV] then crossed into the opposing lane of traffic, hit the curb, hit a tree, and there were several rollovers during that process," he added.
For all we know now there might have been an angry woman chasing him with a 5-iron.
Not funny. Crushed legs and fractured ankle. I hope he can walk again.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
They could've asked Tiger for his consent to draw blood. If he did not grant that consent, then the Sheriff's Dept would have had to get a search warrant for it, and would have had to convince a judge that they had probable cause to believe he was impaired. I don't know if they had that or not. The simple fact of an accident would likely be insufficient.
