I’ve always had this thought in the back of my mind it wasn’t an accident. He’s been through so much.
Tiger Woods in car accident

I think he was just intoxicated and the police gave him special treatment by not doing a blood draw when there was a mountain of probable cause there.
I would have guessed it was either falling asleep at the wheel or impaired with pain pills. I always thought the latter was highly possible, and yes, the police let him off by immediately stating in the press conference that he did not seem impaired, and not pulling a blood sample. IIRC, there were no brake skids, so definitely probably cause for deeper investigation. Oh well, he has been through a lot and only hurt himself.
The Genesis engineers who did the safety designs get an A+++ for their work.
To be fair, I got knocked the **** out in football once. I had no clue where I was or that I was hurt. I wouldn't hold it against someone who was in a violent crash like that to be dazed. Hell, the only time I've ever broken a bone I didn't know it was broken until I tried to pick something up and couldn't figure out why I couldn't move my arm. Adrenaline and shock are a hell of a combo.

This. It's kind of weird to say, but Genesis will probably sell more vehicles as a result of this.
That's fair. It's possible he was just dazed from the accident. I doubt it but it's possible. But for any of us it would have been probable cause for the police to get a blood draw at the hospital.
You can drive the street in Google Earth Street View. The median and sign that he wiped out is in the center of the shot. He was east bound in the lanes where the picture is taken from, hit the median nose, wiped out the City Limits sign and then traveled on east in the west bound lanes, hit the curb on the west bound lane just beyond the second power pole and then went through a bunch of brush and trees before coming to a stop.

I have no idea if it was anything more than just driving too fast, but I'd agree they were awful quick to say "nothing to see here".
Here's an aerial view of his path from the median to resting spot.
I'm going to guess based on the locale that if there was an illicit substance involved it wasn't alcohol.
Hyundai does like to show off their safety standards and features...little bit of proof never hurts.
Had to swerve to avoid a blonde with a golf club?
True. I think under the circumstances (auto accident) they would have probable cause to request such a thing.
Tiger Woods was on his way to meet Drew Brees and other celebrities for a production shoot so I highly doubt he was intoxicated. It has been reported he was running late so speeding is a likely scenario to cut some time off the trip.
