I believe it was a manufacturer owned vehicle.
Hyundai was the sponsor of the golf tournament.

Back in 1990 Nascar driver Robbie Moroso killed a woman (and himself) driving drunk in a GM owned Oldsmobile. That changed the structure of these sponsor deals and I assume Hyundai adopted the waivers, etc.

If let’s say the black box reveals a sudden change of direction, that wouldn’t reveal the cause which could have been a deer darting out of the shadows, or Tiger momentarily dozing and jerking back to being awake. Easy to over-correct in either of those scenarios. He says he doesn’t remember much about what happened. I sort of doubt he was impaired, that episode was during a long layoff from golf and Tiger has been back actively playing for a while, he had a day’s work ahead of him, I think if he does succumb to stimulants at times those would be well separated from work. Just my opinion. It could have been another driver’s fault too, had he not just gone through a controlled intersection with a side street on his right? What if some jerk pulled out of that side street into his lane? He might have been swerving to avoid a collision. And that person would not have necessarily been aware of the accident they caused.

Tiger will return to some limited golf, he can afford the expensive rehab and he’s driven, there is one goal he wants to reach, breaking his current tie with legend Sam Snead for 82 wins. He’s about 45 now and has at least ten years of potential golf ahead, winning one more tournament does not seem that unlikely. Also Sam Snead holds a record for being the oldest man to win on the tour (at age 53) and that’s a record Tiger might want to take, unless Phil Mickelson extends the boundary (he’s just 51 now and still competitive). I rather doubt Tiger will win another major but you never know, winning majors is more about course management than anything else at that level. Tiger is the acknowledged champion of course management. Life management, well give him a B- on that one.
