Sincerely hoping he's OK.

The photos of the car might be deceptive. He was driving what is, to all intents and purposes, a Hyundai Santa Fe. The strength is in the internal cage, if you will, that protects the occupants - the "safety cell" like most modern cars. But the panels on those cars are flimsy and thin - I know, I rented one, leaned against the wing and heard and felt it flex and bend inwards and was grateful it popped back into shape, and I'm not an especially big guy. If you look at the wreck the passenger cabin seems intact, even if it had to be cut open to remove him. In other words, modern cars are remarkable when it comes to safety, and hopefully this one did its job. I sincerely hope his injuries are not too bad.

Pretty surreal considering the entirety of the internet was memeing hard Sunday/Monday with his appearance while he was on air with Nantz Sunday.

Maybe I am seeing the wrong interview, but I do not sense anything "Wrong" with Tiger in this interview.  Am I missing something?

According to this site, Genesis was the safest brand you could buy in 2020: 


In 2020 J.D. Power named Genesis the most dependable automotive brand in North...

It is luxury brand from Huyndai.

He seemed fine to me, too.  As a fellow degenerative back issue sufferer, I can understand how Tiger could not commit to The Masters.  He has to see the medical results, his MD's direction, and then can he hit it.  Too soon for him to know.  Unless someone has had real neuro pain like Tiger, you have no clue.

See what @Zeph said, and also let me quote from Wikipedia…

"Genesis models are designed in Rüsselsheim (Germany)…"

I thought he looked fine. He wasn't optimistic, but he looked fine to me.

I place no credence on JD Power.  Germans make the safest cars.  Hundai is shit

Cool story bro.

German cars break down all the f***ing time, and modern cars are designed to almost break apart like an F1 car or other racing cars to absorb a lot of the force. Let's stick to the topic eh?

I didn’t notice much in that interview really. If the comments hadn’t been there I don’t think I would have thought anything of it.

Ok.  Sorry.  I am just sad for his accident.  As one who deals with safety professionally and one who only owns certain cars, my bias is perhaps misplaced.  Hope he is ok

The talking heads speculating on whether Tiger can win #83 at this point are starting to piss me off.

I don't care if he never plays PGA Tour golf again (for me personally). I just want him to be happy, healthy, and recover. He doesn't owe me shit.

Disappointingly (but predictably) a lot of the news outlets managing to squeeze his DWI arrest from a few years back into their reporting, so it was pleasing to hear that angle already seems to be discounted in this crash.

One thing that does make me wonder, though...sunrise in Los Angeles this morning was 6.27am and police arrived on the scene of the accident at 7.12am. I'm about his age and have begun to notice the effects of bad low-light vision exacerbated by myopia and astigmatism, but unlike him I wear glasses rather than having had the laser surgery - and there seems to be a lot of discussion in the medical literature that the laser surgery makes low-light vision even worse.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
