Yup if you've been around it pretty obvious what was going on there. One that's scary. Two if he's doing that on a consistent basis he needs help. That addiction is a ***** and dude has definitely been on his fair share of medication over the years.

Looks to me as if he hit the corner edge of one of those big metal curb drain covers--don't know if they have those in that neighborhood though. My wife hit one with her front wheel before we got married and the damage looked identical--ruined tire, bent wheel and body damage. At least she was able to react and keep the rear wheel from hitting it. She has quicker reflexes than Tiger Woods!

Could you hear this in some of the video? I only saw a couple short clips and probably missed it. It is STANDARD LOL cop play though. I got pulled over once and the cop asked if I had been drinking (I hadn't) and he said he smelled it. Then he kept asking, "What's in your mouth? Open your mouth and let me see, hold it open" while he gets really close with a flashlight. I told him it was obvious he was trying to smell booze, I didn't have any in me, and this was ridiculous. He got a little flustered, but still hung to that string for the duration of the encounter, even implying as he let me go that I was lucky for some reason. **** you.

Yeah I'm not sure what he's on but maybe this encounter will wake up the unbelievably huge chunk of the US population who doesn't realize what a MASSIVE problem opioid addiction is right now.

Nah because his quarter panel is scraped and bumper is damaged on the side. Think he hit the curb pretty hard, front wheel is on, then his rear wheel comes up at a slower speed before he can react and get off. His tired is also punctured on the side and not just from the bottom. Probably hit a sidewalk or median and drove on it for a bit.

I know. I don't think I described the drain cover adequately.

I'm talking about the rectangular ones about an inch thick that are sunk into the curb and above the iron grates built in at road level.

Example

U don't dress up in a tuxedo for a booty call bruh. Freeballing with athletic shorts for max blood flow, elite nike long sleeve, and hat-fishing.

Ambien should seriously be banned. It's evil stuff.

If there was a good reason to believe it wasn't the case then it wouldn't be a good defense.

My hope that this is the springboard to climb back up the mountain seemed to be dashed. He is in way too much pain emotionally and physically. I wonder where TMZ got the reports that he was swerving, smelled like alcohol and was arrogant. He was extra compliant and nice.

I still think there's a good chance he gets off. again, look at the Kerry Kennedy case where the facts were just as bad and not even dispute. she got off, as far as I can tell, by arguing she didn't realize she was impaired (she said she took the wrong pill)

my cop was adamant that my car smelled like pot. and he claimed the dog clearly signaled and the dog is never wrong. I hadnt touched pot in like 10 years so there was no chance I had any on me or even that my clothes smelled like it.

he repeatedly threatened to impound my car and cut my seats open and take apart the doors.

this went on for like 2 hours. eventually, I started to believe I actually had pot on me. I was checking my pockets and thinking that maybe someone slipped it into my pocket or something.

Facts are probably better in the Kennedy case, as the prosecution seemed to concede that she unwittingly took the wrong pill in the morning, but argued that she should have known that something was wrong when she started feeling sleepy.

Here Tiger probably knowingly took opiates, so he couldn't argue that he couldn't have foreseen the consequences.

A drug dog alerts for drugs all the time which then gives rise to probable cause to search. If the dog ends up being wrong, who cares. Good scare tactic too.

I'm sure Nike are happy he's still rocking their logo in that footage.

I honestly think he's just going to plead to some deferred adjudication type thing, counseling or whatever. BUT he could totally say he took a couple things together and didn't know what would happen which is almost the same thing as "I thought it was the winky eye not the drowsy eye" deal that Kennedy said.

Awesome post Tug. The real story here is that Tiger's in for a hell of a battle if this is as bad as it looks. Of course there is a chance that this was the first time, or perhaps a rare occurrence, otherwise, Tiger's got a tough road ahead. Outside of people who are seriously terrible people, I wouldn't wish a drug problem on anyone.

It definitely hampers your ability to drive

I think most of you guys are getting sucked into items that are totally irrelevant. It's means nothing if he loses his license for a period of time. Same with a small fine, community service, court mandated program, whatever. He's got plenty of time, plenty of money, and can easily hire a full time driver. The only, only court related issue that could hurt is losing child visitation rights.

The real issue is just how deep his personal and chemical problems are. Do I think he has an issue with painkillers? Yes. And none of us know how much pain he has dealt with throughout his career. Remember, he has been under the knife repeatedly since a teenager. And he has an extremely addictive personality. This allowed his greatness, it has also allowed his major transgressions. Same with any genius, Mozart, Van Gogh, Nash. The highs are incredibly high, the lows incredibly low.

Regardless, it's looking less and less likely that he will be returning to competitive golf full time. And that's sad, but perhaps the best thing for him.

Are you talking about Graham Nash, Steve Nash, John Nash, or all 3 here?

I think it showed that he is in extreme pain and needs painkillers to manage it. Like every other human being. He is tough, but 24 hours of mind-numbing pain where he can't go even sit for a press conference takes its toll. We use to numb it with alcohol but many of us just moved to opioids. Higher rate of addiction, but meds do work. I doubt Tiger would have even be able his house without them. Steve Kerr can't even sit on bench for finals for a few hours.

I relied on initial media reports that he was swerving, smelled like alcohol, acted arrogant, and refused a breathalyzer test. I was 100% wrong.

Yes, he shouldn't have been driving and obviously could have hurt someone (and himself). All I really saw though was a person in serious pain and agony who didn't know the meds (brutally tough for anyone to know compared to alcohol) and had absolutely no intention of hurting anyone. He was unbelievably polite compared to many drivers I imagine. He didn't ask them to give him a pass. Amazing.

I was hoping this was the bottom and he would use it rebound. I think the place he is in though will be marked by severe physical pain for an extended period and he will just have to emotionally adapt as well to his body not being able to do what it once did.

Sadness. He looked so immortal when he was young that it hard to seem him all of a sudden so "old". Nobody gets out alive still rings true.

That post is hot garbage but he does get credit for not playing the do you know who I am card

Not saying he doesn't have some sort of opiate problem, but you guys are really overreacting, that video looked completely like a bad ambien reaction

Is it possible that he took them in his house and didn't even know he was driving? Or do we think he purposely got into the car under the influence

When the cop asked tiger where he was coming from, he said "LA"
