I'll say this much... if I had been doing 40 mph over the speed limit, the only reason I wouldn't be cited for speeding would be (1) - I wrecked and didn't survive the crash, or (2) was responding to an emergency situation that required speeding.
Perhaps he was cited, I don't know. There's probably several details we don't know.
I'm sure his celebrity status has afforded him privileges on numerous occasions (like many other celebs) that most could never wiggle out of. On that same token, I'm fine with that double-standard! It beats not having to deal with the paparazzi and media hounds invading every moment of my private life.
I hope he gets well enough to enjoy some sort of active life again, because I think his competitive golf days might be well behind him.
