I thought you would have learned from the last one that this sort of experience ages you.

I just had to share this. This is my daughter to a tee! She has been warned by a famous online retailer that she risks having her account closed, if she keeps up returning so many purchases!

Well we knew he was human when he let his little head do the talking, pranging a car is no surprise. Sounds like it will put the kybosh on his playing for some time.

I have not read the article or any articles yet on this, but I really hope his drug and alcohol addiction problems did not have anything to do with this.
I know he has put himself through some really rough times physically and mentally in the past.

Yup! I was wondering the same, but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and added a rose to my post.

At 7:00 AM you'd have to be pretty hard-core.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

For the record, I listened to the Sheriff's news conference and he said there were "no signs of impairment."

Los Angeles Fire Department is saying that Tiger was in serious condition and had to have emergency surgery.
Yikes!!
Hope he pulls through this. He has young kids that need him.

Really?
If I was to have a serious crash with no other vehicles involved, I'd at least want to be able to blame drink or drugs rather than crap driving.

Who cares if some golfer crashed because he was probably driving too fast.

Because we give more importance to visible members of society and ignore all the others that suffer through things on a daily basis.

That's just a cynical way of seeing something that is just plain human nature. Celebrities are the most readily accessible figures we get visibility toward... and they often happen to have things we plebs don't, so they take on a proxy role of our aspirations and fantasies. I wish I was great at golf, so I look to someone who is great AND who's life is accessible when I want inspiration. When that proxy (Tiger) suffers so is a small part of me that I have attached to him. It is called empathy. Now , should we be using celebrities and luminaries this way? Probably not so I'll give you that.
If I were exposed to the suffering of a handful of "normal" folk I would also feel empathy. For example, at the end of CNN Wolf Blitzer's show every day he showcases a few COVID victims, offering a few personal factoids like an obit. These are invariably normal folk who's families no doubt contacted CNN to be included in the memorium. It's a small gesture that focuses on the often overlooked impact of COVID on average American families, however it is every bit (if not more) as moving and empathy-inducing as a Tiger car crash story. Why? Because I can't help but see a little bit of myself in those family vignettes.

If that pun was inadvertent you have some untapped skill 
Anyhoo, I care. As a semi-avid golfer I've followed Tiger's career for over 20 years. May be mostly memories for most now but his dominance on the course was awe-inspiring, and I would love to see that dominance at least one more time, not to mention have him surpass the all time wins record. He is possibly the GOAT of the GOATS across all sports and that is the main reason why people care.
