Involved in a major car wreck, extracted with Jaws of life. Praying for the best here.

It's about time for him to hang up on driving. Cars or golf balls.

Looks like a Genesis badge on the side. Most likely a courtesy car from the golf tournament last weekend at Riviera which is sponsored by Genesis and hosted by him.

Damn, hopefully Big Cat pulls through this

Sounds like the injuries aren’t life threatening. No alcohol but may have been on other substances....

Still recovering from back surgery. Hope for a full and speedy recovery

Checking out Google maps.

This wasn't a crazy part of the LA metro. A straight forward road in the middle of suburban sprawl. Flat, good site lines, etc.

Hawthorne and Blackhorse.

Too early to suggest Jack's record for most majors is officially safe from El Tigre?

Legs injuries are all that's been reported at this time, but an accident like this surely can't be good for his back. Thoughts and prayers go out to Tiger and his family.

Sad but you're Tiger Woods, hire a full-time driver.

That Hawthorne has a median with no space between the line and the curb so maybe he was distracted and his car rolled over it. By the video I saw it looks like it was farther north where Silver Saddle goes alongside Hawthorne and he is on the southbound side.

Don't get all the fanboys upset.

Looks like he was northbound crossed over to the southbound side and went trailblazing.

He was on air with Jim Nantz over the weekend and yesterday there was some videos on Instagram of him giving Dwayne wade some golf lessons. His eyes look extremely glossy in both. I wonder if he is having an issue with opioids again after his latest back surgery.

Golf automatically and immediately becomes unimportant at this time. Healing and restoration is what matters.

We all know him as Tiger but right now he's Eldrick Tont Woods.

 

[LIuconn]

Not good. Hoping for a full recovery

 

[superjohn]

Everyone is going to blame Spade.

He didn't start having issues until about 1/2 second after he lost control of the car. Pure speculation of course.

Even without his his history or driving while on pain meds, he was actively recovering from back surgery and many people, athlete or not are popping down those pain meds.

Yeah not a good look, definitely on something. I know alcoholic (i.e. drunk) eyes and that's not it. I'm certain toxicology tests will be done. Troubled soul he appears to be.

Fame and Fortune ain't easy, although I wouldn't know.

Hawthorne's a hill but that's a fairly odd stretch of road for him to end up where he ended up under normal circumstances.

He's just constantly in a great deal of physical pain. It seems pretty clear he still has a pain pill problem. All that needs to matter for him now is getting his body to a healthier point and kicking the pills or it will kill him.

Not so fast Inspector Gadget.

Looks like there may have been another culprit.
