Tiger Woods’ wife rescued him from the wreckage of a late night car crash by smashing a golf club through the window, police said.

Mrs Nordegren told police she was inside the couple’s house in a gated community in Orlando, Florida when she heard the accident and ran outside.

She grabbed a golf club and smashed the rear window of the black Cadillac Escalade to get to her husband.

Woods was on his own in the car and no other vehicles were involved. It was unclear where he had been intending to go at that early hour.

The accident happened on a day when unsubstantiated rumours about the golfer’s private life were circulating on the internet.

I really think they had a fight. If he was cheating on her, he should be ashamed!

(Insert your own Jack Nicholson joke here).

Cover-up? You Betcha!

[TomGuy]

Your version sounds more plausible and is similar to what I was thinking....

that he was trying to escape the golf club being swung at him.

"One generally needs not “back” out a a mansion driveway."

I wouldn't know. I'm just happy when my wife navigates the SUV out of the garage without breaking the mirror or killing the dog.

Tiger was just trying to get away after telling Elin: “No, thank you. Fifteen is my limit on schnitzengruben”.

Blame it on the Ambien combined with Jim Beam.

Bingo!
What are the odds all 5 doors on that escalade where jammed.

[Richard Kimball]

Or, maybe she got a couple of whacks in before he made it to the Escalade. Good thing they have remote keyless entry.

They were trying to piece together how Woods, the world’s number one golfer, had managed to hit the fire hydrant and tree, which were on either sides of the road.

Wow, a hook and a slice on the same drive.

Tiger needs some more range time.

[Lancey Howard]

The rear window? Not exactly located close to the driver’s seat where she could reach him and help him.

My first thought exactly! That's a pretty good crawl from the back of an Escalade to the front seat.
This story stinks to high heaven. These people are terrible liars.

[Deaner59]

The police ask her - “how many times did you hit him?” She responds - “five or six....I can’t remember....Put me down for a five.”

[omega4179]

That is a good idea now!

There's precedent in the golf community as well. Several years ago, Nick Faldo's estranged wife (either his 2nd or 3rd), went all Jack Nicholson on his Porsche - destroyed it, from what I've heard.

There, fixed it (?)

Wife reads internet stories on FR.

Gives husband three steps head start.

Starts pursuit to finish job of turning off the lights.

Unsubstantiated rumor ---- affair with Rachel Uchitel?

I suspect a domestic squabble here.

[rambo316]

I love it how the PGA pro that commented on this story said that Woods was just going for one of his early morning workouts... Yeah, Right....

[Rocky]

Boy, it’s lucky there was a golf club nearby.

[CaptRon]

LOL!
