Tiger Woods biggest mistake: getting married
All I have seen is this breaking news issue on MSNBC:
Breaking News, Weather, Business, Health, Entertainment, Sports, Politics, Travel, Science, Technology, Local, US & World News- msnbc.com Basically it says he was injured in a car crash, charges pending. On another forum someone said they heard on the radio it was a serious accident but I haven't seen much on that. |

ESPN just broke in and said he was seriously injured and in the hospital and that authorities had confirmed alcohol played no role, which is worth noting, I suppose.

How do you get seriously injured hitting stationary objects while pulling out of your driveway in your SUV.

An Orlando newspaper is saying the serious injuries are (or at least include) facial lacerations.

I wonder if that is charges against Tiger or if there was any other driver involved that caused the accident. Right now, the tone of the various articles sounds like it was a single car accident.

The accident happens at 2:30 in the morning, he hits a tree, a fire hydrant, and it doesn't get reported until 12 hours letter? We're supposed to believe that someone is not covering something up for him?

Yeah, if it was a single car accident, seems likely that alcohol was involved. |

CBS just broke in and said he ended up on his neighbor's lawn.

I get the feeling that the whole story isn't out. Hope he has a full recovery. Is this in Orlando or his new massive mansion on Jupiter Island?

Here is the story from the Orlando Newspaper which first reported the incident:
Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol just reported. Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported. Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said. No other information about his condition has been released. A Health Central hospital employee said at 2:30 p.m. that Woods was not a patient. A hospital operator would not say if Woods had been treated and released. FHP said the airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph. Orange County Fire Rescue received the call for aid at 2:28 a.m. Woods was transported from his Windermere-area neighborhood by the hospital's own ambulance. FHP did not report the accident until just after 2 p.m. today. The agency said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending. |

Well, Tiger is better known for his putting and short game, maybe he needs to work on his driving...

Guess he has been released. I like CNN's helicopter-outside-his-house coverage.

I wonder if he has really been released. Hospitals cannot confirm or deny if someone is a patient or was a patient. To do so would be a HIPPA violation. |

None of this story makes sense so far. Pulled out of his propety, struck a fire hydrant and then hits a tree on his neighbor's property. With what we have so far how can there not be some additional stimulant involved?

Yeah none of this story makes sense. Unless his headlights were broken and the all the street lights were busted, I don't see how else he could hit non moving objects.

Come on, it's clearly reasonable for somewho can bounce a golf ball off his gold club a donez times before hitting it in midair to not be able to dodge a fire hydrant and a tree! The tree just jumped out of nowhere!!!

Apparently the gossip that came out last night was that he'd had an affair.. maybe they'd been arguing.

His agent says he's been released. THe airbag didn't deploy, so he was going under 33.. Likely, it's just cuts and bruises,etcetera. probably DWD (Driving While Distracted, cell phone, etcetera)

Sounds like the original report about serious injuries was grossly exaggerated.

I am guessing the "serious injuries" comes from the "serious condition" medical status Tiger was supposedly assigned (I think that came from the FHP report, not sure).
The media would have had no other way to determine the extent of his injuries. It seems sensible they would use the term "serious" to describe them, since that is how authorities described them.

probably the serious nature means that he wasn't treated at the scene and released, they brought him in, stitched him up (if he did have facial lacerations, etcetra)

We thought he was chasing the ghost of Jack Nicklaus, when all along it was Ben Hogan's career he was gunning for...glad to see that the accident was not as serious as initially feared, though.

Why the hell do these people get married if they are going to cheat?
I also noticed that he's creating a lot of buzz in the Palm Beach area with his new $40-some million mansion under construction. Last edited by Galaxy : 11-27-2009 at 05:36 PM. |

Tiger picks his chicks pretty obscure. I doubt he's cheating with that chick. Mostly because she came out not too long ago and said she was cheating with some other guy. Not to say he's not stepping out, I just...think given how discreet he's built up his persona, it'll be interesting to see if he made a double gaffe here with the accident and the other chick at the same time.
I always felt like the Elin thing went pretty fast and that their whole arrangement was "I need a few kids, it is time" and she thought "surely there's no deal better than this one." If they're really on the outs already, then the details of the pre-nup ought to be quite interesting, because I can't believe he didn't get an iron clad one. |

Him cheating just goes to prove the old saying: It don't matter how good she looks, there's some guy out there that's sick of her.

And if he indeed is cheating and/or goes through a divorce, the golf world is doomed. He'll surely take out his rage on all of them. But maybe she'll take the Vanessa Bryant road. Seems more lucrative in the end.

I'd like to believe that Tiger wasn't up to anything but I think everyone would like to know where Tiger was going at 2:30 in the morning. Seems early to head for a flight somewhere, but then again he has a private jet so maybe he did plan to leave for a flight early in the morning. Who knows? But so far the story fits for me.
