Tiger Woods needs help. His latest crash must be his last | Opinion
Police believe Tiger Woods was under the influence of drugs or medication in the latest crash in what's become a troubling pattern of driving miscues.
Tiger Woods needs help. Not a high-priced attorney who can make his latest DUI go away. Not a spin doctor who can make excuses for him.
Not sycophants who will tell him how wonderful he is and minimize the recklessness of his actions. As soon as he's released from the Martin County Jail in Florida , Woods needs to go straight to rehab and stay there for as long as it takes for him to overcome his addiction. Weeks, months — no matter.
He needs to get clean and he needs tools to help him stay that way. Woods is fortunate he's only facing DUI allegations and not something worse. If there's a next time, he might not be so lucky.
What's most troubling is, after similar incidents in 2021, 2017 and 2009 , this was already the next time. Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on March 27, after clipping a pickup truck towing a small trailer while trying to overtake it at high speed. Woods' Range Rover tipped over and slid several feet on the driver's side before coming to a stop.
