Tiger Woods in a serious accident?

[Whatev]

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?

You would think with everything the dude has been through with Cars, DUI and his body breaking down he would drive more carefully 

or hire a F*cking driver .....

He was hopped up on goofballs?

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.

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.

 

Tiger Woods has a long, uncertain road ahead after car crash, emergency doctor says

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...

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.
