The police on the scene also report that Tiger was lucid and no signs of impairment. He was on his way to filming a TV program.



He had hardware inserted into a damaged lower leg



I am always amazed that someone who doesn't care about a topic would come to a thread about that topic only to post that the topic doesn't deserve attention because other things are more important. If you want to hate Tiger because of his infidelity, that's fine. At least be consistent and have the same visceral hatred for all persons in public life with a well established history of adultery.
Here he was with everything I could dream of. A well deserved success in a business he had been trained for since being a toddler. But his "adultery" was really kinda over the top. It wasn't a dalliance with another leading lady, it appeared to me to be a kind of sport of it's own. We are all entitled to our views. Statistics show that fidelity in Marriage is not as common as it was at one time.

There is something about Tiger Woods that doesn't appeal to me. Maybe his down expression on a bad shot or club pounding after not getting it where he wanted it to go. One of the things in golf I most admire, and in life too, is going ahead, after a bad shot and keeping cool, concentrating on the next shot.

He never made me want to hang his picture in our office like the one we have there of Jack Nicklaus. I could easily point to Jack to our grandson over the years and say...you'd do well to be like him. ( He fainted each time a child was born.) I am so glad to see Tiger Woods pride in his son. (Who some say is a little smart mouthed to caddies etc.)

I have had this discussion here more than once and I am always surprised by the dedication to him. Much like a political figure.
