OT: Tiger walks off course
- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
There's a decent chance that the arrest report and video from a dashboard camera in the police car may also come out, beginning today.
If Tiger was slurring his words and unsteady on his feet after being stopped then he will take another hit to his image. But as long as Nike continues its sponsorship then he will be ok financially.

He's had four back surgeries in three years. His most recent quote on his last surgery was:
"The surgery went well, and I'm optimistic this will relieve my back spasms and pain," Woods said. "When healed, I look forward to getting back to a normal life, playing with my kids, competing in professional golf and living without the pain I have been battling so long."
Back pain, as any of you know who have experienced it, is the worst. There's no doubt that he's been taking a lot of highly addictive pain medication to deal with it, for a long time. He said, his most recent back fusion surgery, relieved the pain. I hope that's true and if so, he clearly hasn't been able to drop the medication as one would do, if pain free. He will now have to go deal with an almost unavoidable addiction.
Glad no one was hurt. Wish the guy the best.

"Alcohol was not involved." - Tiger Woods has issued a statement on his DUI arrest.

Probably a good thing that he had two flat tires and damage to the car at the time. He obviously hit something for that to happen, which prevented him from driving the car any further.
The urine test results will show what drugs were in his system. Also thought that the police were very professional in the way they treated him on camera.
A lot of people ignor the warnings for prescription medication. Doctors are prescribing serious stuff these days. He was lucky he didn't kill anyone. Unless his drug test comes back with Illegal substance, this was just a honest mistake. I be worried if he was hanging out with Dustin Johnson.
Besides opiates, what else can put you in the state he was in?
Two flats, fresh damage to his car, asleep at the wheel.
My point is, driving after having a few to many drinks is dangerous and stupid.
His documented Vicodin dependency past is also very dangerous and scary...and hard to kick

This is a major problem in the US right now. Doctors are not shy with the prescriptions.
I just watched the first minute of that video. He was so out of it. Wasn't there anyone caring for him when he took that medicine? I completely understand the issue with dealing with back pain, but someone should be there when taking medication for it. When I had my knee rebuilt I took one Percocet when I got home: it did it's job, but I was high as a freaking kite. Did not like that, and dealt with the pain differently after that. I feel bad for the guy: most likely this occurred because he's alone.
I think the case is based on the drug makers misleading doctors about the addictive nature of the drugs.
Doctors are complicit. A little research reveals a host of issues with many pain killers. Years ago, I was going to a doctor for back pain. I specifically told him that I did not want a Cox-2 inhibitor like Vioxx because of known links to Cox-2 inhibitors and cardiac events. He prescribed Celebrex, another Cox-2 inhibitor. I threw out the prescription and the doctor's phone number and never went back to him again. A lot of doctors get perks from pharma company reps.
I tossed out my Percocets or whatever they gave me after major abdominal surgery a few years ago. I did not want to deal with any side effects.
I'm in the pharmaceutical industry and also tend to lean libertarian in my political views. Having said that, we (USA) need to ban opioids from the market. The heroin crisis is out of control. Plenty of pain medications that are nearly as effective as the pills. If necessary, allow only IV pain medication in hospitals where it is controlled
Hard to believe doctors aren't fully aware of the dangers and probabilities of opiate addiction.
I know my dad was going through some tough pain while he still had his brains and wit, and his doctor denied our request to put him in a "happy place"
I refuse to turn Yogi Berra into a junkie he said...in retrospect I respect that doctor greatly today.
Gary Player might be that one guy who used weights and stayed very strong and fit for a long time.
