Tiger Woods was driving so erratically before his mysterious car crash that he careered into bushes and hedges, up two concrete curbs and swerved across a whole street before ploughing into a fire hydrant and a tree.
The pinball trajectory of his Cadillac was revealed in a police sketch of the incident which shows the golfing superstar had a total of three collisions, not two as previously thought.
As he pulled out of his drive at 2.25am he mounted a concrete curb onto a grass verge. He then tried to turn left onto a road but went all the way across, up another curb and into some hedges.
The SUV then careered left across an oncoming lanes on to his neighbour's lawn where he hit the fire hydrant, before crossing the neighbour's drive and colliding with a tree.
The bizarre series of collisions will raise further questions over what caused Woods to crash.
As he recovers from the wounds to his face and reputation the superstar golfer, is also facing a hefty hit to his wallet, being forced to renegotiate his prenuptial agreement, which could lead to his wife receiving a record breaking $300 million (£180 million) in any future divorce.
Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren, 29, are desperately trying to save their marriage and have been undergoing marriage counselling sessions several times daily at their home in Orlando, Florida.
When the couple married on Oct. 5, 2004, in a wedding at the exclusive Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, Mrs Nordegren signed an agreement which staggered payments and was initially modest by A-list celebrity standards.
It is said to have given her the right to $20 million (£12 million) after 10 years of marriage.
In light of Woods' recent "transgressions" the amount has been increased to $75 million

Tiger Woods now finds himself facing a sad future: yes, he'll pass Jack Nicklaus in Majors wins, and, yes, he'll be acknowledged as the greatest golfer of all time; but he'll always be known as the adulterous, sneaky cheater whose character as a husband and father was no match for his golfing skills. That's a huge asterisk by his name in the record book.
Sorry, that is one of the cliche statements made by so called non-judgmental people. Everybody has to make judgments every day of life and it is a requirement to ensure survival.
Really hate those people that think that they are non-judgmental! Try actually looking at the decisions you make every minute of your life - all require experience and judgment. Correct judgment means that you get to continue your life with the least amount of conflict. Yes, that actually means deciding right and wrong...
Yes, and you’re right - he may own the records, but he will never surpass Jack. He is of a different era, when decency was the norm...
I was kidding!
Sorry, twice is too many time to expect me to understand you. You must be way too young for me to understand anyway. Carry on...
No.
Why does Greg Norman keep comming to mind whenever this Woods story pops up?
yitbos
and ended up asleep on the driveway, snoring
(according to an eyewitness neighbor).
Rehab in 3, 2, 1....
My wife said what if he took his prescribed Ambien and was knocked out (or almost) and still chatting with that girl and then he got busted by his wife and the fight started and tiger tried to get the heck out of there.
I don’t much care about Tiger or the story.
But I do know you can’t hit the girl, so I can understand his departure.
I know, it’s a simplistic view...
I’m surely glad that we can verify Jack Nicklaus’ marital fidelity so we don’t have to asterisk his record.
Bush’s fault.
I still wonder why the FHP said so quickly they are done with the case - what if his medical records reveal a positive drug screen, or that he admitted to taking Ambien? That is still a DUI, not just careless driving.
There was a diagram on CNN, I think it was, and I was SHOCKED!! Carreening all over the place!!
AMBIEN!
