Since the investigation has concluded, I'm sure the data recorder has been fully inspected, dissected, injected, detected, infected, neglected and selected.

Mmm I'll sleep on that.

And yet Tiger is the one who decides if this information is to be made public or not. Go figure.

Because we still live in the USA and there is such a thing as the right to privacy. I'm kinda glad we still have it though it is rapidly going the way of the Dodo Bird.

I don't disagree with that, but my point was that if this weren't TW, we would all probably know the root cause of that accident. Just sayin'.

Sounds like a HIPAA issue to me. Other than personal medical information I'm not sure what the cops would feel they need to withhold based on his consent.

Maybe the dude had a TIA.

If it weren't TW, no one would care about the cause of the accident. Just sayin'.

Probably true. But that's the life of a celebrity. If he indeed was under the influence of something, I would imagine people including his sponsors would certainly like to know.

Fair enough re: the sponsors but I just don't get American's fascination/obsession with athletes and celebrities.

Well we are here talking about one aren't we?
Pretty sure this is not unique to Americans either.

Here's one take on it, and just a simple one. These celebrities/athletes are superstars and known around the world because of their abilities in whatever that may be. In this case of course it's golf. This applies to anyone that is a celebrity though. These people are held up to higher standards than the average person like you and I. They are paid handsomely and whether it's fair or not, they are in the public eye at all times but it's not like they don't know it. Some cherish that, some don't. At the end of the day, millions of people not only hold them up to a higher standard, they also see them as "role models" often times. TW is definitely in that class.

I could care less what is on that black box. Did he commit a crime? Nope, let it go and let him have his privacy. Even if he did I don't care, that is his problem.

I'm beyond tired of reading about celebrates buying a bicycle or or what they do when they are constipated. Why give a shit, they are people just like every other person on the planet. Oh they entertain us, will leave it there thank you...

My one contribution to this thread was not talking about TW. Frankly my amazement is that this thread has reached 8 pages...

And I get the admiration of their skills/talent but "higher standard" is a stretch for me. They do their job and go home. Some celebrities think their talent gives their view of the world more weight and there are plenty folks who agree with that, I just happen to be one who doesn't.

Edit: And I'll step away as I don't want to be that guy who sends the thread down a political rabbit hole!

[TiMSport]

Just proof of how much interest there is in this story I guess.
I didn't realize this was becoming a political discussion.

It's not though my previous post touched on it so that is why I made that comment.

[TrevorM3]

8 pages long about a tiger woods crash. lol

[M5Rick]

From what I've read I think now that full info from 'black boxes' or own 'car cams' can't be used by authorities without owners permission to determine the full facts because they may be infringing on human rights.

Ah, the perks of privileged celebrity status. Around here, auto accident reports include details such as, "DUI" and "Distracted Driving", etc.
