    He doesn't have a driver because he doesn't want anyone else to know where he's going all the time.

    Probably wouldn’t have a clue how much a phone bill costs etc. All handled by his agent. Probably gets his Starbucks for free.

    David livingstone if he makes a return he won’t be getting any interviews with him after his comments this week

    I presume this probably rules out the possibility of him being capt for Adare

    Would agree ..the whole Tiger being a captain was all bullshit too...so.much spoof around Tiger ...at least this makes the conversations around him in real world..

    He would probably struggle to tell a minder where he is headed half the time himself, tbh…

    By the way ...I actually do understand the idea of a car and driving it ..a great escape from.the world.

    Most of us do.

    Tiger in real world doesn't work...everyone looking , wanting photos ..wanting something from.him.

    A car can be a sanctuary..

    A car can be a sanctuary but when you are reckless behind the wheel it becomes an endangerment to others

    Tiger Woods told police he was looking at phone before crash

    https://www.rte.ie/sport/golf/2026/0331/1566135-woods-told-police-he-was-looking-at-phone-before-crash/

    So off his head on meds(and maybe something else) and using a phone while driving. What a stand up, responsible guy he is.

    According to the report, Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and officers observed him to be lethargic, slow, "sweating profusely" with eyes that were bloodshot, glassy and pupils that were "extremely dilated".

    When asked during the criminal DUI investigation if he took any prescription medication, the report said the 50-year-old golfer replied "I take a few" while adding he had done so earlier in the morning.

    Side effects of hydrocodone.

    "Sedation/Dizziness: Often results in significant drowsiness, impacting the ability to drive or operate machinery."

    So he won’t be at the masters. He’s gone off to get treatment. Same old line used by people in the public eye. He’s addicted to the surgeon knife and painkillers. Until he breaks that addiction he’s goosed. Seems like a lot of medical people in USA will give these people the drugs they need to feed their addiction. Instead of giving them the help to break it

    Surely he'd be better off to retire from competitive golf for the sake of his health. Focus on being a coach or setting up an academy.

    Officially announced that he won't be Ryder Cup captain for Adare. I would say that's a disappointment to JP given their friendship, I'm sure he probably would have hoped for Woods to have that role in Adare.

    I can't be the only one that just doesn't see tiger as captain material anyway? He managed himself and his game to the nth degree, that doesn't always transfer well over to leadership roles.

    He never was and never will be captain material. Just cause someone is a great of the game doesn’t make them great captains or manager across all sports.

    All he’ll be good for now is getting more eyes on any tournament.

    he’s pleading innocent for dui. It’s laughable but not unexpected. Probably get off but the book should be thrown at him

    I'll premise this post by saying. I'm not a fan of Irish tax exiles.

    But besides that ..was it not utterly ridiculous the Irish host of the Ryder Cup organising who the US captain should be...a guy notoriously selfish and individualistic and not even suited to.role or even Ryder Cup..

    Is kinda beyond arrogant..

    New video released of him after the crash hanging up a phone call and saying “that was the president” as if he didn’t look enough of a see you next Tuesday
