Why is Tiger still driving himself around? He hit a fire hydrant and tree while fleeing his golf club wielding ex-wife; he had a DUI in Florida a few years ago; and now this. It's not like he can't afford a driver ...

Anytime the jaws of life are used the vehicle looks more mangled. But it looks like he hit something head-on because there is major front end damage to that vehicle.

He should have used a "driver".

Too much velocity puts him in the "rough".

The good news is he had on the seat belt. We'll find out but it looks like the SUV may have landed front first. That]s bad for the legs

Do you think Trump has called him?

Anyhow, let's take Trump out of this conversation.

Alex Smith shattered his leg in the NFL and was able to play again 2 years later.


Shattered ankle and fractured bones in both legs does not strike me as career ending presumptions beyond Tiger's own decisions.

Tiger Woods is done!

He may play in charity tournaments but not again in the PGA Tour.

Five back surgeries, shattered ankle and broken leg.....Tiger is human.

Very sad, I wish you a speedy complete recovery GOAT Tiger ... Only a few months, I watched him and Charlie (his son) teamed-up in a tourney...

If Tiger is done, it's because he chooses to....medical advances have NFL players coming back with injuries that use to impact everyday life just a few years ago....the exact nature of these fractures are not yet known....but i doubt the injuries themselves will mean he can't play anymore if he chooses to put the work in.

Broken bones, shattered ankle - there is no pro golf without sturdy and healthy legs. He'll recover but I fear the career is over.

I will avoid being an armchair doctor on the severity of the injuries and just echo Ray sentiment that some very old men play golf.

Also wasn't there a pro golfer that was handicapped and allowed to use a golf cart?

Being able to play golf and win tournaments again are 2 separate and distinct things.

Have you guys heard of the Senior PGA?? Golf does not have an age limit. Knowing Tiger’s work ethic, he will be motivated to return to his lifelong passion!

Conscious bias. Reinforced by the fact that he likely overheard yesterday that Tiger recently has a fifth back operation.

The mind works in funny ways.
