Tiger's Wife Changed Her Story
tmz.com ^ | Nov. 28, 2009 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 11/28/2009 11:56:46 AM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Tiger Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, changed the story she told the first officer on the scene, according to law enforcement sources.

The Windemere Police Department says Tiger's wife went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. But we've learned Nordegren told a very different story to the Florida Highway Patrol, and it does not involve going back in the house for a club. Our sources will not allow us to be more specific.

And we've learned there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger's SUV -- putting into serious doubt that Tiger sustained his injuries from the crash.

As we first reported, Tiger had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman ... and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree.

We're told cops will interview Tiger and his wife later today.

UPDATE: A neighbor tells TMZ they saw cops show up at Tiger's house this morning -- only to get turned away again. Tiger's wife, Elin, was spotted (below) driving out of the Isleworth subdivision in Windermere earlier today.

Guess those Swedes are hot blooded. They’ve only been together or married 4 years. Sure Tige has a prenup. I’m sure it’s true love. /s

"TMZ and that weasel, Harvey Levin represent everything that is wrong with our culture."

I think you're right.

OTOH, TMZ will do the stories about celebrities that are painfully unflattering. Now, normally I wouldn't care. But, in today's day in age where celebrities enjoy so much political influence, I'm appreciative of the fact that there's a website that reasonably describes the celebrity reprobate as they truly are and not as their publicist would have us believe them to be. FWIW.

No clue. Could have been an OnStar call as far as we know.

Tiger has had a protected and controlled ‘image’, just like Barack Hussein Obama...

Ha! Soon to be added to the catalogue of obnoxious Onstar commercials!

I didn't know you had a sense of humor.

What’s the greater crime?

Cheating on your spouse?

Or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon?

Just because you are angry does not give you the right to brain someone with a golf club.

Had she cheated on him, and the situation was reversed, would you be defending him for smashing her face with a golf club?

I bet you wouldn’t...

I’m still a bit vague on the woozy part. The LEOs said he was in and out of consciousness. You have to take a pretty good hit to the head to be knocked out.

Orlando the golf capitol of the world? I bet the owner of Isleworth (aka Tavistock aka Joe Lewis), thePGA, the Golf Channel (Disney), Nike, Gatorade, American Express, the big consulting company (Accenture??) and every other sponsor has lawyers and PR spin people are there.

Any cops says anything and I bet it will be his or her badge. He hit that tree pretty hard. There are online pics and the whole front is pushed back to the wheel well.

The only thing that will happen is probably a divorce in a few months. Nike will give Elin a few million to play nice. My guess is she is pretty done with him. Someone on the Internet posted a picture of her and for such a young pretty girl she is aging a bit.

The States Attorneys Office proscutes these cases in Florida despite the wishes of the alleged victim. It is one of the few misdemeanors(and possibly a felony in this case) where an officer doesn’t have to witness it. Provided there is adequate evidence.
Was the FHP adequately prepared to conduct a Domestic Battery investigation?

Most of TMZ’s articles are unflattering to celebrities. It’s GOTCHYA journalism. I just don’t like that fact that anyone will sell you out for a piece of gold... Especially law enforcement. He’s got people in law enforcement, at hospitals, hotels. It’s creepy and I don’t think it’s right.

Here is the real story!
 
Tiger was sitting on the couch, in the living room. 
 
His wife sits down next to him and asks "What on the TV?"
 
"Dust"  he replied.
 
and that's how it started

Last evening’s news reported the wife knocked out the back window with the club, to pull Tiger out. Thats where it became clear this is not an innocent story. Why on earth would she knock out the back window, and drag him over the seats?

Sad that she will probably be charged with some sort of domestic violence...

and sadder yet that this indicates the cheating rumors may be true. They are both human and imperfect...too bad for their kids.

You are not saying he had his bad knee, operation and left the PGA tour for 8 months the week before the PGA started mandatory testing for steroids are you? How long would it take for steroids to flush out of your system?
