Hate to say it but you may be right. I'm sure he's had plenty of chances to get hooked on them.

It's quite possible that he is, given that he's had so much back trouble. It could be more of a legitimate dependence if so, rather than a recreational thing.

He certainly looked hammered in the mug shot ... I suppose that could be from either alcohol or drugs. In his defense, it's probably not easy to live with not being able to play golf, or even practice to any degree.

He wasn't drinking. It was "an unexpected reaction from prescribed medications." At 3AM. Looks like he is hooked on opioids. And I bet there's some alcohol involved too.

You never know. He just had surgery so the doc may be trying different pain killers on him. He sure looked bad in the mug shot though.

Bad is subjective.

Looks like my boy did exactly what he set out to do. Not condoning the driving part, but the partying part. I bet he'd be a cool dude to hang out in the VIP with.

Sounds like Tiger has battled severe insomnia

All his life and it's getting worse. Could explain some of his problems, not sleeping is deadly.

It`s a hell of a lot easier sleeping in a multi million dollar mansion than it is on a park bench....which is where he`s headed if somebody can`t help him get his life together. I hate to see anyone go through this....hopefully this is his "rock bottom".

No. Tiger has enough money and enough of a support network that rock bottom for him is jail or a hospital/cemetery, not a park bench. He can't consume his money at this point. Even if he used a private jet to constantly travel around the world for the most expensive coke binges his body will handle, he's not running out of money. And his advisors aren't going to let him start binging on coke and then daytrading.

Short of dropping all of his current advisors and hires Ken Fairley to handle his money, he's good financially.

His advisers don't seem so great to me

See mugshot.
How much does he have left? I know he had $1 Billion back when he was winning. But he lost a ton in the divorce and a lot of sponsors bailed then took big discounts when they came back. I'm sure he has more than enough to live comfortably, but don't underestimate what drugs can do.

Uh the rock bottom I was referring to was this specific incident.....this fiasco cost most if not all of his endorsement income which is still huge. What good would all that money and all those fine advisors have been if he had had an accident and killed someone the other night. My point is the stuff he`s apparently fooling with now can eat him and his money alive and he better get some help.

edited to add: I`ve never been a Tiger fan and always wanted to see him busted for steroid use. I just do not wish drug addiction and it`s destructive force on anyone. I hope he`ll get help.

He's full speed ahead in the course design business with TGR projects popping up all over the world.

Bluejack National is outstanding.

That's why I said rock bottom would be a jail or hospital, not a park bench. Tiger probably has around $500M at this point. With a very conservative withdrawal rate of 4%, he can have $20M a year in income indefinitely. That's a lot of money to consume. So if this is an addiction that he doesn't get under control, he'd very likely end up hurting someone else or hurting himself badly enough that it forces an end to it before he ran out of money.

The test he passed was reciting the alphabet backwards. He originally misunderstood the question & thought they asked him to recite the national anthem backwards.

Sounds like Tiger got lucky....could have killed someone

Tiger Woods' 2015 Mercedes-Benz showed signs of "fresh damage" on the driver's side of the vehicle when he was found asleep at the wheel the morning of his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence, police records show.New documents released late Tuesday afternoon by Jupiter, Florida, police reveal that both tire rims on the driver's side of the Mercedes had minor damage and the front and rear tires on that side of the vehicle were flat.

Police also observed damage to the bumper on the driver's side, white scrapes and scuffs on the rear bumper, and the passenger side rear taillight was not working, according to the documents.

Not even that. Apparently the Romberg Alphabet Test is where they just have you recite the alphabet A-Z without singing or rhyming or using any voice inflections or anything like that.

I can do that, but I certainly can't recite it backward.
