Tiger Woods

In case you missed it, golf star Tiger Woods was involved in a single-car accident early on Friday morning when his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and a tree. Tiger, who was reportedly pulled from the wreck by his wife (who told police she broke the window with a golf club to get to him), drifted in and out of consciousness after the accident, and was treated for cuts to his lips at a local hospital. Police have ruled out alcohol as a factor, but they are still investigating the incident and charges are pending. Tiger and his wife, Elin Nordegren, have so far refused to speak to police and the golfer released a brief statement about the crash on his website yesterday. News outlets have been buzzing about what led to the accident, which occurred in the same week that the National Enquirer reported that the 33-year-old has been cheating on his wife of five years. We have some questions of our own.

1. Where was Tiger going at 2:30 in the morning? Surely not to the local mall to be first in line for the Black Friday sales…

2. Why have Tiger and his wife, Elin, canceled three interviews with the Florida Highway Patrol who are investigating the accident? If they have nothing to hide, why not speak to authorities?

3. Did Elin change her story of what happened after the accident?
TMZ reports that Elin told the first cops on the scene (from Windemere Police Department) that she saw her husband had hit a hydrant and tree and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and get him out of the car, but the website claims she told a very different story to the Florida Highway Patrol. Having seen pictures of the car, which has most of its damage at the front, I don’t understand why she couldn’t have just opened one of the four doors to get to him instead of smashing a window.

4. Did Tiger crash his car because he was distracted by his wife chasing him with a golf club and smashing windows as he tried to drive away? The Windemere police chief stated that Elin shattered the rear window of the car after the accident to get to Tiger, but a spokeswoman for the Highway Patrol says they want to know why both back passenger windows of the Cadillac Escalade were shattered. TMZ reported that Tiger told someone after the crash that his wife started attacking his car with a golf club in a jealous rage over a National Enquirer report that he was cheating on her.

5. Were Tiger’s facial lacerations caused by the accident (as he has stated), or from a domestic dispute with his wife (as TMZ claims Tiger told a friend)? The police reportedly want to see if Tiger’s cuts and bruises to decide if are consistent with the car accident — the airbag reportedly didn’t deploy and there was no blood on the steering wheel.

Excellent questions, and totally confused if Tiger Wood's ends up self-destructive. He seems like he is one of the most controlled people in the public spotlight, so it would be so disappointing if he self-destructs over whatever is going on in his personal life.

Excellent synopsis. The question is, will Elin take the (prenup) money and run?

I will stay tuned.

It was a private event between Tiger & his wife. Leave the guy alone & mind your own business.

I agree with comment #4. Tiger is no God and has the right to be private like you and I who are not so well know worldly, but have moral issues that we will not admit to. All unrighteousness is sin and you can't spell sin unless you say you are in it to. S-I-N. Why, you can't even point your index finger at someone without three other of your fingers pointing back at you. So get a life and let Tiger and Elin work out there own private affairs. The media makes this a big to do to sell papers. That is ok, but just know the truth. Most people cheat at something even if it is stealing a grape from your local grocery store to sample. Unforunate everyone loves a good sexcapade story better. Shame on you for being so vain.
