    Well, you don't see too many winners on the PGA Tour who don't have an extensive fitness routine these days.

    if your net worth is 740 million why are you ever driving.
    He must really be the cheapest guy on the planet if he won't spend money on a cab when drunk.
    What an idiot.

    Unfortunately a very public rise to the top is followed by a very public fall.  I don't know how you get over the bad decisions he made when you pretty much are trapped in your home or rich neighborhood because you'll get mobbed if you go out in public.

    Tiger Woods speaks: Alcohol wasn’t involved


    http://nypost.com/2017/05/29/tiger-woods-speaks-alcohol-wasnt-involved/


    Part of the article:

    Tiger Woods attributed an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medicine for his arrest on a DUI charge that landed him in a Florida jail Monday for nearly four hours.

    Woods, the 14-time major champion who had back surgery five weeks ago, was arrested on suspicion of DUI at about 3 a.m. Monday and taken to Palm Beach County jail. He was released on his own recognizance.

    An arrest report might be available on Tuesday, Jupiter Police spokeswoman Kristin Rightler said.

    “I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Woods said in a statement Monday evening. “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.”

    Woods apologized to his family, friends and fans and said, “I expect more from myself, too.”

    “I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again,” he said.

    Well, it is confirmed he was not drinking alcohol.  Hopefully he is not abusing painkillers and it was an honest mistake, but 3am is a little strange.

    Anyone just complete lose their swing? Happened to me out of the blue a couple weeks ago with my driver and I'm having the damndest time getting it back again.


    I think I was bending over too much and probably rushing my down swing which was causing a more pronounced outside-inside swing. Kinda feel like I'm starting from ground zero and learning how to swing all over again. Funny thing this is my short game is really on point right now and I'm not struggling too much with my irons. Just the stupid driver.


    So frustrating.

    I broke 80 for the first time on Monday. Birdied the last hole for a 79. My only birdie of the day.

    Congrats!  Gotta feel good.  I have never broke 80 but think I can do it this year.

    I shot a 38 on the front nine this past weekend and then followed it up with a 49 on the back nine!
