He has been taken to a local hospital. https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/23/tiger-woods-car-crash-golf-tournament/ Not that it matters, but Jaws of life were not used. Something called a Halligan tool (similar to a crow bar) and an ax were used. "Lt. Michael White later told CBSLA reports of the “jaws of life” being used were inaccurate. " "“Tiger Woods was trapped inside the vehicle, so our firefighters and our firefighter paramedics used a pry bar, called a Halligan tool, and an ax to pry parts of the vehicle away from him,” Osby said."" https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/02/24/tiger-woods-car-crash-hospital-surgery/ Anyways glad he's okay. Maybe he'll pull a Ben Hogan and win the US Open next year. Edited February 24, 2021 by Steve O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things go bad, you generally hit the brakes. HARD when it’s really bad. Do anti lock brakes leave skid marks? My guess is no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 So they now know what happened, but won't release details unless Tiger says it's ok. Makes it sound suspicious to me. Detectives find cause of Tiger Woods crash but won't reveal (apnews.com) Quote The Los Angeles County sheriff says detectives have determined what caused Tiger Woods to crash his SUV last month in Southern California but would not release details Wednesday, citing unspecified privacy concerns for the golf star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Other than the ‘because he’s a major celebrity’ reason... maybe it’s HIPPA-related and they can’t? 🤷🏻♂️ Edited April 4, 2021 by UConn James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sadly, I am wondering if he tried to kill himself. The police intimated that he may have mistaken the accelerator for the brake. But he never let off the accelerator and hit with his foot firmly on the gas. This would explain why the police needed his permission to release the facts due to HIPPA.
