Tiger’s Journey

As I've already said (perhaps in an unclear fashion) I'm wondering about culpability. If,by chance,his accident was caused by *his own* foolishness I can't find much sympathy for him.If it was caused by anything *other* than his own foolishness then I can find a lot of sympathy for him...just as I found enormous sympathy for many (but not all) of dangerously ill patients I encountered during my 25 years working at a big city hospital. The patients for whom I *didn't* have sympathy,as you might guess,were the ones who have nobody but themselves to blame for their plight.

I have no specific dislike for Tiger Woods...none whatsoever.

Speeding = death and destruction. So despite the respect that Top Gear had for him there's no doubt whatsoever that it was his arrogance and foolishness that caused the need for $1.4 million of repairs to his car.

And BTW...I love Top Gear.The *real* Top Gear that is,not the farce that's on now.

It’s a good thing he was close to Harbor UCLA. Had he been in a small town he likely would have had to be air lifted to a trauma center potentially hours away.

Long road ahead for him.

Tiger has a problem with the misuse of prescription pills and driving. I wonder if they did a tox screen to determine if he was DUI.

Thanks. I was harsher than I should been in my earlier response and I apologize.

[I cannot think of a name]

Unfortunately I am unable to throw stones at anyone for speeding. Lots of speeding.

(Thankfully, here in Texas if you can keep the number under 10 during any three year period, for $450 my lawyer takes care of them - and smiles all the way to the bank.)

Don’t worry about it. I’m often bad at clearly expressing myself.I sometimes fear that I’m suffering from Plugs Biden Syndrome...minus the molesting of young girls!

Largely because of my young niece's horrible fate as well as my 25 year career in Emergency Medicine (a big city ER) I'm the guy in the right lane of the Interstate with my cruise control set 1 mph under the speed limit.

Years ago my best friend's Dad,who was a *real* rocket scientist,had a top job at a defense contractor that designed missiles for the DoD. As a result he spent a lot of time in Nevada...which was where they often tested them.He'd tell us stories about the roads out there with no speed limits. They were thrilling to a young kid like me.

It was a Genesis GV80, that's the Genesis logo on the door. It's made by Hyundai.

The SUV was part of a loaner fleet to their Genesis Invitational tournament -- they took over the Riviera early-season tourney from Northern Trust, which moved their venue to Liberty National.

One story said he was staying at, and thus driving from Palos Verdes -- they meant Terranea, which is practically its own mini town -- but it's odd that he would have been down there given he had been interviewed by Jim Nance just 2 days before at Riviera, which is kind of a long-ass haul up the 110-405.

Then TMZ had a story that some Hollyweird producer said Tiger nearly hit his car leaving Terranea that morning, and they also had road video of him driving moderately fast up Hawthorne trailing a blue van.

What's interesting is, that is a brand-new 2021 GV80 and yet that back tire doesn't look like it has a dime's worth of tread.

BTW, I've done a 180, maybe make that 170, on Tiger this past decade. Yeah he's a headcase, but he and Elin have a workable post-divorce that has produced 2 nice kids. He met Obama but Trump gave him the Medal of Freedom, and it's not hard to imagine he voted Trump over Cankles.

Now that he is almost surely no threat to Jack's 18 majors with 15, it's easier to wish him well and get back on course.
