WINDERMERE, Fla. -- Golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured when he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree outside of his Isleworth home early on Friday morning, officials said.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was seriously injured and taken to Health Central Hospital. The Orange County Fire Department confirmed that a patient was taken to Health Central, but would not confirm that the patient was Woods.

Woods was driving a 2009 black Escalade, FHP said. He hit a fire hydrant outside of his home and a tree outside his neighbor's home.

FHP said the crash is still under investigation.

It has a really tiny road and most of the houses you cannot see because of bushes.

The one in Orlando he got for free for living there plus he probably gets paid by the developer to live there part of the time.

Can't wait for the Onstar commercial with the screaming Wife in the backround.

I don't know if it would be able to top this.. Heh :) Michael Moore's onstar

Well, that story is more logically consistent than the official one.

His front teeth would make for a big target - that guy has got some choppers!

My bet is she read the Enquirer and was laying for him when he got home from Australia... hit him and he took off, lost consciousness and hit the hydrant and tree... especially since he would have been driving on the wrong side of the street to be coming from his house and hit them in that location...

[Moonman62]

I think she connected before he got in the SUV, too. Someone with his athletic ability isn’t going to crash at low speed in front of his house. He probably passed out behind the wheel and that’s why he crashed.

Sublime.

"Woods is not a bad guy. He refuses to let the black racists use him, and he seems to conduct his life with dignity. I wish him the best."

The other things is the “Tiger is the greatest golfer ever.” Maybe but it is yet to be seen.

For me The other things is the “Palin is the greatest politician ever.” Maybe but it is yet to be seen.

Tiger Woods has been all about golf all his life without much of any other life

I think he spends a lot of time with the tiger woods foundation. And I do recall seeing him at a Stanford basketball game a few years ago.

[Does so]

"...He was backing out and was seriously injured in that huge car...????"

The driveway is long enough to get up some speed going forwards, then spin out to hit the fire hydrant and "tree" traveling backwards. (It's not much of a "tree").

He was already released from the hospital when I first heard of the collision. I also just read that Tiger Woods was recently relea$ed from hi$ contract with Buick, perhap$ at a cost to u$ taxpayer$ via "Government Motors"?

Tiger Woods: Injuries Caused by Wife, Not SUV

Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren --according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident.

Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree. We're also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene

I finally out drove Tiger Woods

[inflorida]

with all the money he makes.. he can’t afford to have equipment at his house, he has to go to a Gold’s?

I don't know why he works out at Gold's but I've seen him there. Just by himself and blending in with the rest of us.

hmmmm sounds about right

Tiger Woods and his wife were involved in a domestic dispute before the golf icon crashed his luxury SUV outside his home, according to reports. Gossip website TMZ.com reported the couple were arguing shortly before the accident at about 2.25am Friday morning. It comes as rumours surface online that the incident may be connected to an article in the December issue of National Enquirer that claims Woods has been cheating on his partner Elin Nordegren. The tabloid report alleges Woods had an affair with Rachel Uchitel, a woman who previously made headlines by saying she was involved in a relationship with Bones star David Boreanaz.

I wonder if Tiger signed a Prenuptial Agreement.

I saw that coming. I posted this on #28 of this thread:

Since Tiger has had major surgery in the last year, we cannot rule out the fact that he is taking prescription drugs. I wonder if the cops will do full blood work?

What I didn't see coming was him cheating on his wife, who scratches his face off, and then attacks the Escalade with a golf club.
