I watched him too
He looked really sleepy, totally out of it
Pain meds again is my guess
Hire a driver!
I know that road..driving an unfamiliar car on unfamiliar, hilly road..recipe for disaster

can't be as dangerous as the Moki Dugway in Utah

I was not entirely comfortable on the Beartooth Highway. To put it mildly.

It may be time for Tiger to retire from golf and take up his second career. He can make a fortune shooting airbag commercials. We are messing up a lot of things in the U.S., but we do know how to keep celebrities flush with cash.

Yes - pain is what his facial expression registered to me when I saw him on TV. Everything I saw during his brief on-air time said to me that he wanted to limit his on-camera time. All his answers were the opposite of “talkative”.

I am not blowing my own horn but I have some empathy with Tiger, knowing personally (spinal injury) what it is like to live with pain you wake up to and go to bed with knowing moderation and not elimination is the best you will ever get. That kind of pain makes life similar to a blind person or a person who can no longer walk. It is life and you can’t (and try not to) get up and go to bed wringing your hands in the fashion of “woe is me, what WILL I do”, for that solves nor changes anything nor helps you get on with life, as it is. I am sure Tiger knows what I am talking about very well.

Apparently, it’s the new Genesis GV80 model.

Hyundai has released the following statement:

I’m going to guess he was running late, driving fast, and maybe using phone by texting or talking. Course I could be wrong. I hope his career won’t be ruined and that he’ll come back from this.

Doesn’t look like much slowing down was happening until the big splatter marks in the oncoming lane. Looks about like 5 iron shot to where he came to rest.

It was a Genesis model SUV. A loaner Genesis gave him as they and he were kinda cosponsors of this week’s tournament at Riviera CC in Pacific Palisades.
