I'm glad the Palm Beach County Sheriff's department got him off the road before he hurt or killed someone. I wish the police could capture and arrest every drunk or drugged driver on the road. Driving under the influence should carry a mandatory six months in county lockup for first offense. That might begin to wake up these idiots.

I am with you on that, but remember that many drunk people are actually young cops [emoji61] .

According to Forbes Magazine he's worth 740 million dollars. He should be able to afford a Driver Valet so nothing like this would ever happen. He's self destructing. Sad

Tiger - You are done. Stop embarrassing yourself, keep a low profile and live off your current wealth.

I hope he gets the help he needs and gets back on tour. I miss watching his magical skills.

I, like millions of others were mesmerized by Woods come from behind performances or wire-to-wire finishes on the golf course. He was certainly a thrill to watch weekend after weekend, but the questionable withdrawals when he was subpar and the scandal(s), ruined any further enjoyment I had when watching Tiger.

I no longer root for him, but against. He had his run which continues to be tarnished with immature off course self discipline, so let someone else come forward.

Agree with Dan -- penalties for the 1st DWI/DUI are sometimes no more punishable than a 2d, 3d and we've all heard of more. Stiff jail time, minimum 6 months & possible 1 year, with permanent license suspension nationwide, and mandatory 1 year AAA classes after returning to the populace, with no exceptions should be the rule of the courts (no class time while on my dime in jail).

P.S. Glad Earl Woods isn't around to see his talent self-destruct. Ex-Army Infantry Officer, two VN tour, retired LTC (Lieutenant Colonel).
