Man you'd think with all his $$$$$$$$ he could at least find a ride home or use Uber or something. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2017/05/29/tige...

"Charles Barkley is going to bat for his old friend, Tiger Woods -- saying people like Jack Nicklaus who say Tiger needs help don't REALLY know what they're talking about.

Barkley appeared on 97.5 FM The Fanatic Philadelphia on Wednesday and was asked for his thoughts on Tiger's DUI. He's clearly upset with people assuming Tiger has a serious substance abuse issue.

"Even Jack Nicklaus, somebody I really respect, talking about, 'Tiger really needs help.' Well he don't KNOW that. We don't know if Tiger has a drug problem."

Barkley added, "He just had a bad reaction [to prescription medication]. He wasn't out there drinking and driving."

Barkley says the "haters" are "in heaven right now because they get a chance to dump on the guy."

Barkley and Tiger were very close friends before 2009 -- and would regularly hit Vegas together. But Tiger cut him off after his marriage fell apart."

Obviously, Charles is not a member of this forum; otherwise, he would not say such stupid things. He would have all the inside info!!

It's his opinion. its no more valid than yours or anyone else's. He could be right that it was just a bad reaction and a one time thing, he could be wrong. Him saying Tiger doesn't have an issue is making an assumption just like those who say that Tiger might have one.

I'm betting Jack is a lot closer and more connected to Tiger than windbag Charles, and a million times more credible

Weirfan Barclay has no idea what's going on with Tiger.

I'd swear I just read that somewhere. DUH!!

I'm calling you wrong and full of shit & hot air! The people that ARE close to Tiger, would never speak a word about it. THAT is why they would be close to him, having his trust.

"It’s easy to say Woods should have known better than to get behind the wheel while he’s on pain medicine. That he’s lucky he didn’t hurt himself or, worse, someone else. That he has once again disappointed his children and his fans.

But it’s also too soon. Without knowing what the combination of his medications was, along with the doses and when he took them, it’s impossible to say whether Woods has a problem or truly had a bad reaction.

Because it’s Woods, however, the temptation is to assume the worst. The sex scandal that ruined his marriage and his squeaky clean reputation will color the way he’s viewed forever. If he could make a mistake that big, do something that stupid, of course we’d think he could do something as dumb as driving while intoxicated.

But we don’t know that because we don’t know Woods. We never have."

that's a possibility and you are entitled to your opinion

what do you think Jack meant when he said "Tiger needs our help "?

Weirfan

I think that it means that Jack thinks that Tiger needs help, but I think that's just Jack's opinion........i think.....

Par4QC

Weirfan what do you think Jack meant when he said "Tiger needs our help "?

What I think he meant was...."I don't have a fucking clue about the man, as I don't have any contact with him except when our paths cross. Even then, he does not confide his secrets to me. We talk golf and, sometimes, health. But, I'm still going to say something I don't know shit about."

Of course, I could be reading more into his statement than what's ACTUALLY there. (imagine someone doing that, eh?)

Why not be cynical about the "TW Camp",have they always been truthful and forthcoming?
The dash cam video leaves little to speculate about what "really" happened doesn't it?
Did he slur his words,was he able to walk a straight line,or could he/did he pass a field sobriety test etc.?
I think anyone who viewed the vid knows the answers,so this is well beyond his camp being able to
put any kind of a different 'spin' on what happened like they've been able to do in the past.

As for this being a"hot topic" thread,sure it's in an unfortunate light.
But it proves that Tiger STILL moves the needle like no other golfer ever has and probably ever will! 😉
Hell this place ain't nothing in terms of numbers,look at Golfwrx the 'Tiger Arrested For DUI" thread is up to 75 pages already....

I have a little problem believing Barkley is credible when he admits TW cut him off in 2009.

OMG! Some of you folks are just unreal! When a guy admits the genuine truth and current status of their relationship you question his "credibility". Can't win with a few here...

Oh, btw Weirfan, in you much more thoughtful and long post/reply to me, one thing: I never questioned TW's "veracity". Why you choose to address issues I have not and attribute to me I don't understand.

I have trouble believing Barkley is credible when he opens his mouth.......

sorry if that wasn't clearly written , I was referring to me .....why I questioned his veracity , thought you asked why for those of us have

It's sad.

Barkley is the one that said TW cut him off in 2009. When you have not been around someone for 8 years do you really have much credibility about their current conduct. Is that so difficult to understand?

The reality is the tests that TW was submitted to because of the charges will reveal the drugs in his system. So with a bit of patience (approx 2 weeks) additional factual information will be forth coming. It is funny how many now wish that all this information was kept private, but only a few years ago demanded in Florida that all of this type of information within police files be made public. Now it is what it is.

I think a couple of you need more middle school.

Go back and re-read the post about Barkley. How does his 'credibility' figure into what he said?

"Martin Kaymer has seen the online reaction to Tiger Woods' recent troubles, and he doesn't like it. Not one bit. The former world No. 1 from Germany took to Twitter to express his feelings about "so many comments, so many opinions, they're so unfair and very disrespectful in my opinion."

"Everybody who's involved in golf was changed by his legacy, by his play, by so many things that he has done."

"Yes, he's in the public eye, he's in the spotlight a lot, so of course people will talk about him, but why (are they) so nasty? Why don't you try to do the opposite and help him now, the way he inspired us?"

Reasonably sure he's even talking about us hacks!

No doubt.

Original post removed by your's truly

Well... there comes a time when one needs to man-up and apologize. I used entirely too much profanity this morning while also being way too sanctimonious. It's not going to change my opinion of what I perceive to be a very serious challenge for Woods, and I truly hope that he can find a sincere friend to tell him some things he probably doesn't want to hear, but needs to hear, and he gets the help he needs.

My apologies to those of you who might've felt offended by my unwarranted commentary. Everyone is entitled their opinions!

Cheers. 🙂

Can't even tell who you might be referring to! Par4QC merely qouted Kaymer. Nothing changed in this thread in the past day save for a side 'conversation' about Sir Charles and whether he's more credible about TW than Jack.

Oh, that and the usual sdandrea equivocating; that he doesn't care but, he thinks TW's "children seeing this might give him the wake-up call he needs". Not there's not judgment there either. LOL

All joking aside (hard for me), I stopped caring about the story the same day it came out. Tiger has been irrelevant to me for years. The world has much more interesting topics. However, this thread is of interest because of the furor in it. TW still stirs the pot. You guys are hilarious getting so spun up over nothing. Where's the popcorn smiley?
