Well that's odd. How can you back an Escalade out of your driveway, hit a fire hydrant and a tree and end up in serious condition? Must be some driveway, if he could get going that fast. And he did this when he wasn't drinking? Really?

The news... it get stranger all the time.

he lives in an area here (Isleworth/Windermere) that has ginormous mega million $ mansions and yup, often very looong driveways...

but

still a very odd incident IMHO

His wife used a golf club to free him...LOL!!!!

I hope he will be ok..

where was he going at 2:30 AM!?! Why was his wife awake at that hour, to even know he was at the bottom of that long driveway? Where did she get the golf club from, if they were not able to open the car? Was she chasing him down the driveway to start with to smack the crap out of him? is that why is was driving away at such quick speeds that he couldnt turn BEFORE headed down a steep winding drive?

Ah, the games rich people play.

I am glad that he is ok, but you just know there is more to this story.

The latest news reports say that police are considering charging him. The insinuation was that alcohol was involved. I'll wait for the facts.

It sounds like he crashed his vehicle into the tree with some force. It's pretty hard to do that without joining us in the TBI club. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy (and she's a real b#^*@h) so I hope, whatever the circumstances, that Tiger makes a full recovery. (Although, if he was driving drunk, I thank God he didn't make it onto a public roadway.)

Cheers

Down hill? It is Orlando, I don't think they have much of any hills there.

Yeah, pretty ritzy neighborhood, was what I was thinking. Even so, that's a big vehicle to smash it that badly. In all wealthy areas it's not uncommon to have a late life style, but it seems unusual for an althlete.

It just sounds like a lot of the info is private, like we'll never hear what was the story behind the story.

The irony of the golf club, lol. I wonder if he was inside the car yelling, No, not the putter!

His temper is getting the best of him! IMO I feel so sad when I see him having tantrums on the courses...etc. Golf can be a very frustrating sport...I used to play it... and it ceased to be fun and I quit.

Anger and cars are a bad combo.

do remember this happened early morning Friday ie after Thanksgiving day celebrations. They may have had a party at their home or have come back from a party kwim

or maybe he was headed to a Black Friday sale

our local news are still saying tho that alcohol was not a factor.....

also
lol dejibo I had to giggle at the "steep driveway" comment....this is flat Florida swamp ...... only steep here is the price of those mansions
