Also not a great promo for the Hyundai Genesis he was driving, as a spokesperson for the Genesis tournament.

I've always marveled at the guy. You can tell he wanted the perfection in sports, not the intense scrutiny of his personal life.
It’s almost spooky how the mind works.
I am the
last person you would call ‘a car guy’, but that part of your post immediately made my antennae vibrate. I googled ‘Hyundai Genesis unintended acceleration’.
Six incidents, as late as 2019 (that owner being a professional mechanic).
Perhaps even more relevant under some of the apparent circumstances, some 2021 Hyundai Genesis

There is at least one report that Tiger Woods was seen leaving his hotel driving faster than normal.
Police spokespersons
made a few interesting comments. Two of them refer to Woods being alert and lucid at the scene, and one mentioned that Woods showed no signs of impairment, and that that area is the scene of an atypically high number of accidents.
It has also been reported that at the time, Woods was approximately half an hour late for an appearance; the location being roughly an hour away, the appearance scheduled for 7:30am and Woods leaving the hotel at about 7:00am.
