They announced they found out the cause of the crash...but won't reveal it due to privacy reasons. So he was probably drunk or on meds or something like that.

I don't see how they can definitely know the cause of the crash, based on the information they say they have (which doesn't include the toxicology results from the hospital). Maybe they mean they believe he fell asleep at the wheel, but that in turn could have been (and probably was imo) caused by the effects of medication. Maybe they have cell phone records where he told someone "shouldn't have taken (so much?) Ambien last night (so late?)" or something along those lines... but then you'd think they could/would use that as probably cause to get the blood results from the hospital.

Live now.

What an *******! Dude could’ve killed a bunch of people driving that fast.

Great golfer. Bad person.

45 MPH zone.

Not Tiger related, but Golf...ESPN Masters commercial just now plays Ray Charles "Georgia on my Mind" the entire time...just sayin you might want to deemphasize that a bit right now.

I thought the Sheriff said that they knew what caused the accident but couldn't release the information due to privacy??

You don't get privacy for breaking the law. You usually get cited.

Is anyone going to ask why the LA Sheriff seems to have been covering for him for a while now?

Could this be attempted suicide? Seems like crazy speed on that stretch of road...

Or could just be accidentally pressing the accelerator instead of brake...

Could be but the easiest answer is he was just driving like an *******

The road was 45mph because of hills and turns. Sure people go 55 all the time probably. Going 65 would be pushing it and pretty silly. Going 85 is insane. They said he had zero chance to negotiate the upcoming turn going that fast.

Should have his license taken for a couple years effective once he is recovered. But nooo.

People said Tiger had zero chance of winning the 2019 Masters - KAZOW!

Lol at taking away Tiger's license. So many haters.

Where should Tiger rank in the worst celebrity drivers of all time? I put him somewhere between Caitlin and Dale Earnhardt.

I can see how he gets accelerator and break pedal mixed up on a new car - but for how long was he pressing the gas? You press it, speed up, and then get off of it right away. He went off the road, across a median, crossed two lanes of road, and through a grass area and still was going 75 when he hit the tree?

Yeah, something still doesn't add up. It seems their theory is that he was wide awake and speeding, realized he was going way too fast and then hit the gas instead of the brakes. Does it seem likely that if he was awake and speeding, he wouldn't already have his foot on the gas (in which case he would know where his foot was)? If he did accidentally hit the gas while awake, wouldn't he quickly switch his foot from the gas to the brakes and/or swerve to avoid going over the median and over the other side of the road? They previously said there was no indication of steering input or braking.

Maybe he was speeding... nodded off due to medication he took that morning or the previous night... falling asleep with his foot on the gas and/or gravity (downhill road) caused his speed to increase further... since he was asleep, he didn't negotiate the relatively gentle curve and went over the median and then the other side of the road without braking/swerving... and never woke up before hitting the tree, because he didn't nod off briefly, but rather was under the influence of one or more heavy duty Rx. That makes a lot more sense to me than what they're trying to spin (and their story has already changed from falling asleep to excessive speeding... this accounts for both and fits with Tiger's history).

I'm pretty sure he was just being A REAL MAN

On every car the gas pedal is on the right and the brake pedal is on the left. Also the gas pedal is the one you have the foot on to maintain a high speed, it's not like he went in his car and "Oh my car is broken it doesn't move, OH WAIT I was on the brake pedal I mixed it up"

You can't mix it up unless you're drunk

yep

No steering or brake input makes it pretty obvious.

“Capt. Powers said there was no indication of braking. It's believed Woods hit accelerator instead of brake. No citation was issued due to no witnesses at the scene.”

I was cited once for my left front going across the center line on a mountain road curve with no oncoming traffic.

I was cited once for the fenders on my dune buggy being a half inch less wide than my rear tires.

Please give a dune buggy tr, always wondered about those things

Also, find it hard to believe you could fall asleep at the wheel AND have your foot continue to apply pressure to the gas pedal - pretty sure human body doesn't work that way.

Pretty sure people do move in their sleep. Not saying he was asleep bc all we know was he was speeding

If I fall asleep with my foot on the pedal then start dreaming about hole in ones my leg could easily move

There it is!



Tiger Woods had unlabeled pill bottle in SUV during car crash, was ‘somewhat combative’

"An empty, unlabled pill bottle was found near Tiger Woods’ wrecked SUV — and the pro-golfer was “somewhat combative” when first responders tried to treat him at the scene, according to a newly-released police report."

"The 22-page report obtained by TMZ said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies found an “empty plastic pharmaceutical container” in the front pocket of a backpack resting in the brush close to Woods’ car.

When EMTs tried to free him from the wreckage Woods, 45, was “somewhat combative” — and so disoriented he thought he was in Florida, where he lives, rather than in Southern California, the report said. "

I find it hard to believe he was doing 85 on that road. The camera that caught him a few minutes before that showed him at a reasonable speed.

Just my opinion...
