First cop on scene said he was lucid and answering questions with no apparent indicators. And it appears the police have wrapped their investigation without mentioning a toxicology screen, even though he has a history, not to mention he had back surgery 2 months ago.

But yeah, let's give him another pass. And while we're doing that, let's start the list of players on the PGA tour who would not be getting that same pass. I'll go first- Patrick Reed.

They are saying now that he was probably asleep at the wheel....  You know they are covering up for him...

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/03/us/tiger-woods-black-box-investigation/index.html

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will retrieve data from the black box in the Genesis SUV courtesy vehicle that golf legend Tiger Woods was driving before his rollover crash last week.

The department told CNN in a statement it executed a search warrant for the black box but had "no additional information regarding the recovered data."
Speaking to USA Today, Sheriff's Deputy John Schloegl said Tuesday the development was just due diligence and he didn't consider the probe a criminal investigation.
 
"If somebody is involved in a traffic collision, we've got to reconstruct the traffic collision, if there was any reckless driving, if somebody was on their cell phone or something like that," Schloegl told the news outlet. "We determine if there was a crime. If there was no crime, we close out the case, and it was a regular traffic collision."
When CNN reached out for clarification on the warrant, the department declined to provide further information.
Authorities have previously said they believe the incident was "purely an accident" but they would have to pull the black box event recorder from the vehicle to make that determination.

A long road to recovery

Woods was driving last Tuesday in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, shortly after 7 a.m. PT when his SUV crossed a median and veered across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree and landing on its side in the brush, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said last week.
He is believed to have been traveling at a high rate of speed before the crash, authorities said. There were no skid marks or other indications of braking, according to the sheriff.
The 45-year-old sustained injuries to his leg that required a rod, screws, pins and a surgical release of the muscle covering -- which surgeons likely believed would save his leg from amputation, emergency physician Dr. Jeremy Faust told CNN last week.
While he is recovering, Woods wrote in a Sunday tweet, "It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts."
His words came after several PGA Tour golfers were seen wearing red shirts Sunday as a tribute to Woods.
"To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time," Woods added.
---------------------------------------
Total bullshit coming out of both sides of the Sheriff's office. Woods required major and immediate surgery upon arrival at the hospital. You know there was a toxicology screen done when they took blood. And the Sheriff's office announced they had wrapped up their investigation before Woods was out of surgery.
And they got a warrant to retrieve the black box? How are you getting a warrant signed by a judge unless you're conducting a criminal investigation? You need probable cause to suspect illegal activity to get a fugging warrant!

Who is saying that?

Some crash scene guy on TV the other night...  He was saying the road curved and he kept going straight and never applied the brakes which indicated to him he was likely dozed off...

Horrible accident.  Hope he heals up quickly and completely.  Do PGA wins in the Senior tour count towards the 82 number to beat Sam Snead?

Nope. There's a reason it's called the Champions Tour. It's not the PGA Tour.

He has 82 PGA tour wins, but in reality he's won a poo ton of tournaments if you include all the non-PGA events.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
