Watched the 2 part Sky Documentaries film on his life recently -"Tiger". Really interesting and appreciated him / sympathised with him a lot more after. Worth a watch...
Really hoping he can make a full recovery. And I hope he's not found to have been culpable for the accident due to driving while under the influence of opiates.
He was recovering from his latest back surgery and waiting for the green light to up his preparation for the masters. Really sad news and can only hope he is not too badly hurt
The LA County Sheriffs have stated that it seems Woods was driving at well over the speed limit when the incident occurred
Unless there is a catastrophic failure with the car pretty much all accidents are driver error.
The Sheriff claimed that due to the nature of the crash it was likely he was travelling at excess speed but also added that Tiger appeared lucid - blood tests would confirm but no evidence at this stage that he was driving under the influence.
He will do very well to get to competitive golf but he’s alive and will recover.

that is why I used the word 'incident' .. driver error can't be described as 'accidental' .. as I wrote above, Woods appears to be a troubled man since his father's death, marital breakdown and the inevitable loss of sporting ability that comes with aging .. as well as medical/surgical help, I am sure that Tiger needs some kind of psychiatric help to readjust to his current situation. Not a new thing for famous and very talented people to go off the rails, metaphorically speaking, when slowing down and 'old' age creep up on them

I cannot imagine he hasn’t been getting psychiatric help - for years.
Let's hope he makes a full recovery...if it might digress a tad I'd advise anyone interested to read the autobiography of ben Hogan who recovered from a horrific car accident to become a great of the game
Looking at the car afterwards it looks like he could have come off a lot worse. Hope he makes a full recovery, but I don't think he'll be playing any serious golf for a long time, if at all.

Hope he recovers well.
Good luck Tiger.
Stay strong Tiger and good luck to a full recovery.

However, I do lose some respect for him, as he's putting other people's life at risk as well, by going well over the speed limit on a public road.
