That the news of him disappeared, after annoying our televisions nonstop for about 30 hours.

Just a light joke about the news cycle.

If they'd skipped the thread, then someone asking the OP as a genuine question wouldn't have got the info.

Now, you think it's amazing that someone took the OP at face value. Perhaps some people don't spend so much time worrying about the level of news coverage as you do, so they don't interpret a question in a non-literal way.

“ as you do “ — you don’t personally know any of these people. Don’t speak for them by assigning how often they watch the news. It exceptionally rude, and my personal pet peeve. Don’t speak for someone else.

is being a jerk. It's shaming the person for asking, and the board is conversational - how much research a person is required to do before putting something on the board is something opinions will differ on. It's not school.

and not "conversational".

I might well say "google is your friend" to someone I know and like; I wouldn't call them an asshole or jerk. If I called someone an asshole or jerk in school, I'd expect an argument or fight.

Choice, in the sense that he had no control until he got help. As far as the car accidents, I can’t speculate.

The guy is a golf phenom.

I wish him the best. And a speedy recovery.

I don't even know how the national teams are selected. He is way down in the ranking of U.S. players, due to medical absence. He might qualify to pay for Thailand, if he wasn't so injured.

I imagine that Woods will retire when he’s good and ready. At any rate, he’s richer than he’ll every need to be so retirement makes little difference.

The PGA had to alter courses to negate his length and accuracy.
You appear to be at least slightly uninformed with regard to PGA driving statistics when Tiger was in is prime.
