Awesome Mugshot!
Wasn't alcohol related and his story probably checks out, not that makes him innocent in the matter. He may lose some of his remaining sponsors over this but he's not really relevant anymore and still has a net worth of $700 million.....so yeah.
The released police dashcam videos (Golfchannel) show some culpability. How could anyone attempt to drive in that condition....
Impaired is Impaired and that is beyond defensible. In the eyes of the law it doesn't matter if you are on pain meds, pot, wine or beer.
Hadn't seen that news - guilty is guilty, of course, and someone could have gotten hurt or killed had things played out differently.
Could this then be Tiger's final bow? There's always the possibility of an encore on the Champions Tour, but I doubt he'd want that being his final chapter...nor this...
All we need now is the chase and the white Bronco----------OH forgot there was a chase and it was a black SUV !!!!! :-) I am tired of defending the guy---. :thumbsdow
I will always be a tiger fan based purely on how he played golf when he was in his prime. He made it incredibly exciting and exhibited a skill set that absolutely no one will ever come close to touching in my opinion. I can't defend his actions in this case as he put other people's lives at risk and that is a shameful thing to have done.What I am is so absolutely ****ing tired of the bashing by judgemental know nothings with iq's lower than a rodent. You know nothing of the perils of true addiction or mental health issues if you can't find a shred of support for this guy that basically lives his entire life under the spotlight. It seems to me that no one leans towards compassion anymore for individuals who may legitimately be having massive and real struggles in their lives especially if they are celebrity. Take a peek in the mirror and reassess things a bit.
Where, in his statement, is there talk of addiction? (Other than his other one?)Quote:

Price of celebrity could be a low as a cab ride, which he could afford all the way to LA from Jupiter.
I'm not talking about any statements that were made? I'm talking about possible addiction and the perils associated with the disease. Who's pinning a victim pin on him I didn't mention anything about him being a victim? If he had killed someone it would be obviously be a tragic circumstance made even sadder if it's due to a mental illness or addiction someone isn't properly treated for.
I just find it difficult to understand that a man that had put physical fitness and well being as the core of his success would not have known about the possible reactions of different drugs he was using for "recovery" from his surgery. Maybe if it was the very first time he had taken those drugs together, then maybe but surely the pharmacist would have told him about it. Unfortunately his past discretion and dishonesty will make it difficult for people to believe his innocent plea today. I am just really really happy no one was hurt except for some public property damage.
