He went to SA treatment at Pine Grove (or one of their affiliates) in Hattiesburg 15 or so years ago when he screwed up and later divorced the Swede.

Well, he sure looked glassy-eyed and out of it in his booking picture and again when he left the jail. He's takes pain pills, but that's not a crime. The crime comes in when you take too many of them and it affects your ability to do certain things, like drive a car.
I wonder what the Range Rover onboard computer said his top speed was on the road. It was a 30 mph speed limit. I believe he said he was doing something on his cell phone and didn't notice the truck/trailer slow down. That's a crime. I suppose asking for a jury trial, his prerogative, means he's hoping fans won't convict him. It'll be hard to assemble a jury with 12 people who've never heard of him or have no opinion one way or the other. It'll probably lead to a plea deal of some sort.
It's probably been mentioned here in this thread, but I just saw the body cam footage of Tiger being called back to the officers, and he said something like "I was just talking to the President". First of all, why is Tiger so entitled that he's allowed to wander away during an arrest? And second, he obviously was trying to prove to the officers "who he knows". I've always enjoyed watching him play golf, but he's a prick of a human. He might as well have said, "Do you know who I am??".
I don't think he's terrible for taking pain pills. He's had so many surgeries that yes, he's bound to be in unfathomable pain. But the "holier than thou" attitude is over the top.

It's an epidemic. Those type painkillers are very addictive and many can't shake it. Addiction is real. It's tough to get out of it. He has the $$$ to keep getting them and some Dr (or dealer) keeps providing them to him as I'm sure they're prescription. If I had that kind of $$$ and that addiction, I would hire a driver.
He would've had another DUI when he had the really bad wreck, but the cops felt sorry for him and didn't test him.
I know firsthand. One of our employees got hooked on them after an accident he was in. He’s back clean but it took a long hard road to get there.
I had a friend in high school who drove drunk way too often. He made it through and didn't hurt anybody thankfully, but he was one of those guys who drove faster after drinking. Not everybody handles it that way, but Tiger sure seems to become more Tiger when he's loaded.
He is sleeping with Trump's ex daughter in law, and is hanging out with his grandkids.
Also, here is an excellent article by Joel Beall from Golf Digest.....
