Beachy Head 33 Posted February 23, 2021 Sounds like a Paul Walker or Jose Reyes incident. Apparently had to be airlifted out by jaws of life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,889 Posted February 23, 2021 Leg injuries. Moderate to critical injuries according to the LA Fire Dept. That's him finished competitively I would think given the problems he's been having injury wise the last few years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salmon Mousse 473 Posted February 23, 2021 The toxicology report is going to be very interesting. Everyone just let him off the hook with a form-letter-apology from his PR team after the drug-driving arrest in 2017 but I always doubted he ever got clean. Guess we'll see. Here's a picture of how he looked this past Sunday: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajlposh 561 Posted February 23, 2021 He had back surgery recently. So I can’t imagine an accident like this would do great things for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,844 Posted February 23, 2021 21:19 PM -- “Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Woods was alert enough at the scene of the accident to ask first responders to have his manager pick up his stuff. We're told cops have not found anything illicit inside the vehicle.” Seems fine to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William1971 8 Posted February 24, 2021 Tiger Woods crashed his car today, and is currently undergoing surgery. I think it's time to start a thread on him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 862 Posted February 24, 2021 Tiger Woods also has a history of substance abuse and has had numerous health issues (although none systemic to our knowledege) could exacerbate the abuse. At least this thread adds some flavor. Better than another famous person with no health news getting a thread, which just gets filled with replies of people joking around or talking about memories of the celeb followed by their death after a year of inactivity. Most famous (and arguably best) golfer alive. (for the time being) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,176 Posted February 24, 2021 This feels like a near miss for an increasingly reckless personality. It seems likely that this puts an end to his golf career and causes some possible long term mobility issues. Not life threatening in itself it appears but not good news for someone with an endless supply of money and serious addiction issues longer term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 483 Posted February 24, 2021 So far there is no evidence that he was impaired. As for the specific nature of his injuries, you can see the direct quote from the doctor within a Twitter post that Tiger's people put out there. Sounds like he is going to have a long road to recovery, but at least he's alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,104 Posted February 24, 2021 I think he crashed it on purpose when he realised he was behind the wheel of a Hyundai. The billionaire golfer suddenly understood how low his life had got and there was no point carrying on. Next stop is a Kia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,073 Posted February 24, 2021 Well, I do think that he is a "spent" person, there's no substance left for him to get it together. And a further decline of his life after his professional career is inevitable, like Boris Becker here in Germany, or Björn Borg, or Matti Nykänen. The open question to me is whether he is going to appear on Reality TV within the next 10 years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted February 24, 2021 For some reason, his life trajectory reminds me a bit of George Michael. Success at a cost of psychological problems not faced up to earlier, leading to erratic and risky behaviours in 40s. Who'd be a rich, talented superstar, eh? Can we come up with a better, and likely more accurate, subtitle than 'golfer' please? All kinds of puns available for this particular pussy hound. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
