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.
What a mess!
Some friend. Could hardly wait to go running his mouth off to TMZ.
Here is my 1cent
She hit him in the face with a glancing blow but does not break any teeth. he retreated because he does not hit women. She chases with the 9 iron he jumps in the escalade she starts beating it with the club then throws it through theback window. he gets woozy and crashes. She realizes its a scandal and feels sorry for him so she goes and lays him on the grass and waits for the police.
Occam's razor never needs sharpening!
What’s the spousal abuse law in Florida. In some states, it doesn’t matter if the victim wants to press charges or not- the cops are required to make an arrest.
TMZ and that weasel, Harvey Levin represent everything that is wrong with our culture.
That being said...so now the cops have been turned away twice by the woman who probably inflicted injuries on him. This would never happen if it were reversed. I hope he’s ok.
Elin is too busing digging up her pre-nup to see how rich she’s about to be.
What I don’t buy about that story is her dragging him out of the car. She’s a small woman...no blood in the car..maybe she was driving the car?
He got out of the vehicle either pissed or dazed or both. Either the steering wheel knocked the sense out of him or she did with the club -- although being hit with something like that directly in the bean would likely be fatal, imho.
I wonder if he was smart enough to have her sign a pre-nup?
Yes, that is the law in FL. If the police suspect that there's a violent altercation between two people in a domestic relationship, they are required by law to make an arrest. The police conduct in this matter has thus far been FAR below standard practices, in my estimation.
He tried to leave with a golf club?? Huh? I have seen a TV commercial with Phil practicing his putting in the dark while the other guys are on the driving range.
So Tiger was going to hit a bucket at 2:30 am?
Interesting...
Maybe The Oprah can get them both on her show to discuss women abusing their husbands.
Poor Tiger.. Just when you're on top of the world, here comes this crazy lady with a golf club!
You sound like you wouldn't like being rich and famous.
Horny isn't a reason, it's an excuse, an immature excuse!
I thought that she might axe him about the alleged mistress..
Ok she gets in the car in a huff, He chases, she slows down, gets out and its still in drive. She throws the 9 iron at his face and the car crashes. They concoct a story to explain what happened :-)
Yeah, right after the segment about prominent blacks playing the race card.
