Hoping Tiger Woods is okay after a horrific accident.

I have seen very bad accidents but when the engine is dislodge from the vehicle? Makes me think speed had something to do the accident? This is my opinion.

1. msnbc as been showing pics of his car for over a half hour. nt

2. They're talking like he has passed. Hope not.

7. No They're Not

They're talking a lot about his plans to golf again after his back injury.

Nobody has indicated that his life is in danger. He's in surgery for multiple leg injuries, which don't sound life threatening.

8. In my opinion, I hear it in the tone. Yeah sure, maybe it's the passing of his career

because of his extensive injuries.

[Pongo]

15. I haven't gotten that impression at all.

It sounds as though he’s badly hurt, but certainly not dead.

3. Looking at pictures of the road, I'd guess 35-40 mph limit.

Yeah, excess speed was probably required to remove the engine. The talking heads are mentioning leg surgeries, no mention of the back that's been plaguing him lately. He's been trying to rehab his back to return to competitive golf.

5. he recently had back surgery

4. I Think He Will Survive, But His Golf Career May Very Well Be Over

If he's in surgery for multiple leg injuries, a concern is probably that he might not walk again.

6. CNN is reporting in surgery for multiple leg injuries.

How awful.

9. The coverage of this reminds me for some reason of Princess Diana

I was up that night, and I couldn't stop listening to the news. Car accident, and a broken arm. They always had to mention the broken arm. This one is multiple leg injuries.

12. I won't forget that either

Holiday weekend I think. Everyone went to sleep, and I got in my car and started driving to the casinos in Atlantic City from my mom’s place next door in Ventnor wherein I live now and the news broke on KYW radio. It was interesting because the medical consultant said that when he saw the car he couldn’t imagine anyone could’ve survived it. He was quite right. A real horror.

13. Labor Day Weekend

I just remember the broken arm for some reason. All the news reports mentioned that.

10. Might be time for Tiger to stick to driving golfs balls

Ben Hogan came back from bad injuries suffered in a car accident (head on with a bus in the wrong lane in fog) to win six of his nine majors. He was about 8 years younger than Tiger is now.

With Tiger's back problems (5th surgery a couple of months ago), this may well finish his competitive PGA career.

11. Officers Said He Was Conscious & Alert

Was able to converse with officers on the scene before transport to hospital.

14. Maybe he was unfamiliar with the car

It looks like the side door has a painted logo for Genesis (Upscale Hyundai) brand, and he just finished as commentator for the Genesis Invitational tournament. Maybe this was a tournament courtesy car, to be used for the week, then sold as "used" by the dealer.

He might have been "testing the envelope" on his way to the golf course.
