Tiger Woods Car Crash

Tiger Woods in happier times

The PGAs best golf player and arguably one of the best individual athletes in the world has been seriously hurt in a car accident outside of his Orlando home. It’s reported that Tiger was pulling out of his driveway at 2:28 am when he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree on his neighbour’s yard.   He can place a ball the size of an egg anywhere on a golf course but apparently driving backward is bit tricky.  Police say the the Cadillac Escalade was not going faster than 33MPH since the airbags did not deploy. Do cars go that fast in reverse?

Many questions will be asked about this incident.

Will he be able to perform at a “Tigeresque” level once again? Who knows what damage was caused to him physically and emotionally.  It can’t be easy for a player to play as well as he has been after a traumatizing event.

Was alcohol involved? By leaving the house at 2:30 am one must speculate if alcohol was an issue in this matter or if he was sleeping behind the wheel. Usually when I’m out on a Thursday night at 3:00 am, booze is in my system and I’m an average Joe.

The truth will be revealed shortly but for now let’s hope for Tiger’s speedy recovery.  The golf world just wouldn’t be the same without him.
