00:00It's a tragic story with him, and, you know, there's several ways to look at these things,
00:08and, you know, people are going to want to chastise him for, you know, getting in a car
00:13as they should when he's under the influence, but he's also someone who's dealing with a
00:18severe addiction he's not able to get a handle on, and I think that because the pressure
00:24that he had to get in that TGL finale, because that was his thing, and his team was in the
00:30final, and he felt like he had to play in that.
00:33He geared up, and he was also trying to give it a shot at the Masters and everything else,
00:37and he pushed his body too far when he wasn't ready, and he was in extreme, extreme pain,
00:43and he went back to, unfortunately, what is old faithful for him, which is a lot of pain
00:48pills, and then decided to make a terrible decision and get in the car, and this is what
00:53you have.
00:54So, it's, it just, it sucks to see the downfall continue for him, but, I mean, at this point,
01:01I, you know, he's, he's in his 50s, he, I, him trying to play golf at a high level is
01:09what
01:09led to this, again, so I would not, if I were him, I would seriously consider just, I'm going
01:16to be Tiger Woods, and I'm not going to golf.
01:18You know, he has had seven back surgeries, and if you know anybody in your life that has
01:22had seven back surgeries, you know the pain that they're in.
01:25I've had two people dealing with back surgeries.
01:27One has made it, and one, unfortunately, has not made it, and I think that when you undergo
01:32those back surgeries, you are in enormous amount of pain.
01:35They give you pain pills.
01:36They relieve the pain.
01:38They make you feel better, and you end up becoming addicted to these pain pills.
01:42I'm assuming that this is basically the path that Tiger Woods has been on.
01:47This has nothing, you know, you may say that it may be the pressure to perform and all that
01:51other stuff.
01:52I think he's probably been doing this for a long time, and there have been a lot of times
01:56where he probably has taken a car service or somebody else has driven, but then there
02:01are these moments in time where he thinks he can actually drive a car and make these dopey
02:09moves like he tried to make this past weekend or past week and puts himself in a really bad
02:15situation.
02:15Look, he revolutionized golf.
02:18He brought golf into the mainstream.
02:20He was the one that lifted the PGA Tour to the highest levels that it ever has been,
02:25and he's still an iconic golfer.
02:28But what this also shows you is that he's a human being, and he deals with all the same
02:33things that the rest of us deal with.
02:34He just deals with it either on the back page or the front page, depending on what we're
02:40talking about.
02:40When we're talking about the TGL, maybe the back page of the sports.
02:44When we're talking about this, it's the front page of the newspaper, or it is the first thing
02:49that happens when you open up your notifications when it comes to social media.
02:54So, you know, he's not a victim in any of this.
02:56These are decisions that he's making himself, and the people around him are not getting the
03:00help, getting him the help that he needs.
