Tiger Now Has 17 ‘Majors,’ Only One Away From Tying The Nicklaus Record Of 18

The numbers are on Tiger Woods’ side – 15 Professional Golf Association (PGA) majors and two Roll Over Association (ROA) majors.

The fact that one guy has rolled two cars is as unlikely as one guy winning 15 major golf tournaments.

The average person never rolls one car in a lifetime.

Imagine the odds against one person rolling two cars in a lifetime.

It’s about as unlikely – or more so – as getting struck by lightning.

Think about this – have you ever rolled a car?

Do you personally know anyone who has ever rolled a car?

Have you ever rolled twice?

Again, the odds against flipping two cars in a lifetime are infinitesimal.

Meanwhile, Woods has never once been asked by the fawning golf press about his first rollover five years ago.

In that accident, a California sheriff who estimated Woods was going 80 in a 40 never required him to submit to an impaired-driving test, either by Breathalyzer or by urinalysis.

In five years Woods has never been asked the following questions by a reporter:

√ What were you doing when you flipped your car going 80 in a 40.

√ Where were you going that you were in such a hurry?

√ Were you on drugs or alcohol in that accident?

In the latest rollover, on Friday in Florida, Woods pulled out the excuse card, quickly telling cops on the scene, according to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek that he’s had “a lot of injuries and surgeries.”

When’s the last time you tried pulling that one?

Woods was more than glad to take the Breathalyzer test but when the cops asked him for a urinalysis he refused.

That means one thing – he was on drugs.

The only question beyond that is whether he was on a legal prescription or whether he was taking illicit pharmaceuticals.

If he were taking prescription medication one would have surmised that he would have told the police that.

And though it wouldn’t necessarily have been a successful legal defense it sure would have been a lot more likely to succeed than what he’s currently charged with, which is refusing to take a test.

If he were on prescription medication, the next question would be whether he took more than the recommended dose.

If he were under the influence of illegal drugs the next question he would have faced is where he got them.

Woods simply fessing up would have been much less risky than what he’s now facing – a mandatory charge of refusing to cooperate with police.

He has been bedeviled by his so-far elusive dream of tying or surpassing Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 major PGA tournaments.

The one record Nicklaus never had to chase was rolling two cars in a lifetime.

Tiger Woods must also wish he held that stat in common with The Golden Bear.

But now that he’s got two ROA majors, he might as well make it a hat trick.

Then he’ll have his 18 majors – one way or another.
