Grab A Tiger By The Toe


Over the weekend I saw a news alert that Tiger Woods had been seriously injured in a car accident. I, like many, who have a great deal of respect for TW was genuinely concerned for his health. As time passed, the world breathed a sigh of relief that he was going to be OK.

Now we want to know the details. TW isn't really being that open about the incident that required police and a trip to the hospital. Here is the only statement from TW.

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

Sure you deserve privacy, but you're a celebrity and we want to know ALL the "embarrassing" details.

Here's what we know.
  • At 2:30AM TW drives away from home.
  • Hits fire hydrant
  • Hits tree
  • Wife uses golf club to free TW
  • A 911 call was made
  • Police arrive
  • Medical assistance arrive
  • TW's privacy is now the world's #1 obsession

Gimme a T...!

Today being Thanksgiving I want to give thanks.

I am thankful I live in a country where anyone can speak freely. I hope when people do speak freely they also take the time to listen openly as well.

My Dad use to say things that only as an adult do I truly understand,

"Think before you speak."
"Don't eat with your eyes."
"Whether I'm right or wrong, I'm always right."

I'm thankful I had parents who took the time to raise me right. I could never handle being a father without their lessons. Dad died over 20 years ago. Mom still can cook like a Food Network chef. I admire her greatly and thank her for making me, me.

I'm thankful for my wife and son. They both amaze me each day. My wife doesn't have an easy life, yet she still has the cheerleader clap in her heart. I enjoy watching her be a mom, wife and teacher. All while still being a student to our life's challenges. My son is the personification of energy. He wants to do it all and I think in his lifetime he will. His life started out rocky and his beginnings continue to be a challenge for him. Those challenges have been a source of focus for us. For him to be his best we can't ignore his issues. He may not understand it all now, but he's not one to stopped.

I'm thankful for my brother and sister. My brother and I have always been each others competitor. We continue to push each other in the things we do. My sister is one of those people that's always there when you need someone. A tough as nails teddy bear kind of person.

I'm thankful for my friends. Recently, I was reminded how fragile those connections can be. I've also seen how strong friendships can be as well. A friend is so easy to make and I am so happy for all the ones I have.

I'm thankful to you. You took time out of your life to read my blog and I will always be humbled by that action.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
