I was in law enforcement for over 40 years, and would never speculate on the cause of such a horrific accident. I only hope the best for Tiger, yes he has had some personal issues over his life, but so has everyone. He has done so much for golf, and the charitable foundations that he is involved in. I'm glad to hear from those at the scene that he didn't appear to be impaired. I'm sure blood work, at the hospital will clarify that. That leaves two other possible causes. Mechanical failure, or Operator error. The experts on the accident reconstruction team will determine that. In, either cause, from my experience from what I saw of the scene, there was definitely excessive speed involved. Thank God no one else was involved. He will be very fortunate if he is able to walk correctly when all has healed, he'll need extensive therapy. Doubtful he'll ever compete at such a high level again. Maybe the Seniors, we'll see, he has a long road ahead, and everyone is different. I wish him well.
