Hydrocodone, the generic form of a painkiller branded as Vicodin. Hydromorphone, a strong painkiller commonly known as Dilaudid. Alprazolam, a mood and sl...

I'm with potbunker. I work shift work and take it here an there. But I had a buddy that took it every night. He once had to crawl up the stairs to get to his bedroom.

This information about various sleep-enabling drugs mixed with other drugs and their side-affects are quite known and have been for years. If he'd struck and killed another person in his car, ignorance would not be a valid excuse. Especially when one feels entitled to self-medicate without the help and oversight of those entrusted in his care, regardless of the malady.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

The writing has been on the wall as it relates to his golf game....I would be shocked if he ever is contention in a full field event....been saying same/similar for years. Doesn't mean his life is over,hopefully he can find some other purpose/meaning into his life....you would think his kids are that, and I am sure they are, but they grow up fast!

The biggest stunner for me was Dilaudid... not easy to get, even for chronic legit back pain.

Tiger has enough money to make it happen.

I'm thinking that the little woman hit much more than just a car window with that 9 iron. IMHO, he should get more involved with the course design end of golf and leave the competing to the "young guns" who are out there now.

If I take a couple puffs of weed before I lay down, I'm out in a matter of minutes, sleep like a baby and wake up rested. I also have a script for Xanax and occasionally take it for sleep, but when I wake, I feel groggy for a while after. How the hell he took all that and was still conscious, is beyond me.

Well he wasn't , he was zonked out at the side of the road and as the videos showed, a total mess for hours after.

Have had pretty poor sleep and insomnia off and on for 3 years now, won't take sleeping pills....a MJ prescription might be what I try, catches up to u.

LBlack14 It's called "tolerance". It builds up over time and repeated usage. Seems he's been addicted for quite some time. Oh, btw, despite the poor judgment, I do believe we're aware that Tiger is an intelligent man. Quite easy for one to delude oneself; that they're in control of the drugs. He is fortunate because his number did not come up. Sad story.

Weirfan He was conscious and on his feet.....sort of. 😉

That does sound like a nasty mix! I'm glad he didn't hurt himself or anyone else on the road.

Hopefully he can dry up, get his health somewhat restored, and enjoy a good life for the many years to come.

Tiger is, for all intents and purposes, finished with professional golf. But there's another 40+ years of life awaiting him beyond golf, a life spent with his kids, a life spent being a grandpa and pampering grandkids at some point.

Hoping he finds his happily-ever-after chapter sooner rather than later.

Life goes on after golf. Maybe he needs to have a sit-down with Nicklaus and figure out some things, because he sure as hell ain't been getting much good advice from his current inner-circle "friends." Jack could definitely offer him some more stable perspective.

I wonder who his inner circle is? Seriously, because somebody should be talking to him about life and how to live it in peace and serenity.

raggmann54

SVonhof I'm guessing that he only has "yes" people around him. No one who will risk their job by telling him "no" or making honest suggestions.

professor

SVonhof Agreed and I don't know if he even has an "inner circle" any longer. Don't 'ya think that's why Charles pulled away?

I'd say he needs more practice. Didn't look like he tolerated it very well. 😋
