Maybe the regular tour, but I could see him on the Champions Tour, when he gets to that age.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people are nostalgic about his meteoric ascent to superstardom. I know people think he's human and is allowed to make mistakes. The problem is this: (Source: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/golf/golf-tiger-woods-crash-cause-revealed-1.5978252) The most notorious example was when his SUV ran over a fire hydrant and hit a tree early the morning after Thanksgiving in 2009. That crash was the start of shocking revelations that he had been cheating on his wife with multiple women. Woods lost major corporate sponsorships, went to a rehabilitation clinic in Mississippi and did not return to golf for five months. In May 2017, Florida police found him asleep behind the wheel of a car parked awkwardly on the side of the road. He was arrested on a DUI charge and said later he had an unexpected reaction to prescription medicine for his back pain. Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving and checked into a clinic to get help with prescription medication and a sleep disorder. In the same article... In the weeks after the crash, the sheriff called it "purely an accident" and said there was no evidence of impairment. Villanueva faced criticism for labelling the crash an accident before the investigation had concluded. This is the third time Woods has been involved in a vehicle investigation. Villanueva had previously said detectives had determined the cause of the crash, but he would not release it, citing privacy concerns and a purported need for Woods' permission to divulge information. Documents show that Woods told deputies he did not know how the crash occurred and did not remember driving. At the time of the wreck, Woods was recovering from a fifth back surgery, which took place two months earlier. This same Villaneuva guy now changes his story... Villanueva blamed the Feb. 23 crash solely on excessive speed and Woods's loss of control behind the wheel. The athlete will not face any citations for his third high-profile collision in 11 years. In other words, WHOOPS, MY BAD. - Villaneuva More... Capt. James Powers, who oversees the sheriff's station closest to the crash site, said there was no evidence that the golfer tried to brake and that investigators think Woods inadvertently stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. He was wearing a seat belt at the time, and the SUV's airbags deployed. How the &^@# do you 'inadvertently' do that? This is a mistake that maybe a new driver would make out of panic. This level of incompetence, if we are to assume this to be the case, is unacceptable. Detectives did not seek search warrants for the athlete's blood samples, which could have been screened for drugs or alcohol. However, investigators did search the SUV's data recorder, known as a black box, in the days after the crash. For a crash of this nature, why the &^@# wasn't his blood sample examined? Did he have a heart attack or something to cause this accident? NO. They blame it purely on speeding. Tiger Woods has routinely gotten double standard treatment that regular people don't get. This guy has proven he does not belong anywhere behind the wheel. Yet each and every time, he's given a chance that regular people don't get. &^@# this dude. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
