The sports world was rocked Saturday afternoon when news broke that the world’s number golfer, Tiger Woods, had been involved in an automobile accident outside of his home in Windermere, Florida in the early morning hours of Friday, November 27th.
According to reports, Woods lost control of his 2009 Cadillac Escalade at approximately 2:25 am and crashed into a tree and fire hydrant near the end of his driveway. Woods stated that his wife, Elin Woods, acted “courageously” when she used a golf club to break the back windows of the SUV and free Woods from the vehicle.
Woods suffered cuts and abrasions to his face and was bleeding from his lips and mouth. Police officers reported that Woods was going “in and out of consciousness.” He was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Florida for treatment.
Since the accident, Woods and his wife have remained tight-lipped about what led to the incident. The Florida Highway Patrol has twice attempted to speak to Woods about the accident, but he has yet to be interviewed by them or any one else for that matter.
Woods released two different brief statements on his website taking full responsibility for the accident and praising his wife’s efforts to help. He also hinted at and apologized for indiscretions saying, “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.” Internet sites and radio talk shows are all abuzz about Woods’ relationship with his wife and possible marital infidelities. Woods stated that allegations regarding his wife attacking him are “false, unfounded and malicious rumors.” and called them “irresponsible.”
Woods has released that he will not play in this weekend’s chevron World Challenge, his own golf tournament, in Thousand Oaks, California.

Since when is breaking out the windows on an SUV a courageous act? I guess it’s as courageous as Tiger calling his behavior a “personal matter” and expecting the public to turn the other cheek.
