Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported.

[Kusand]

Considering how rich he is, that sounds about right for a bad day for him - he drove 300 yards down the driveway and shanked into a tree.

[gkrangers]

I didn't even notice the pun.

[xcheck24]

Wonder if he was drunk. Wonder if we'll ever know.

[Alitaki]

The AP news app on my iphone says charges pending.

[xcheck24]

The highway patrol also said he was seriously injured but he was fine.
Lots of interesting reports out there right now. Everyone needs to be first rather than right these days.

[toph]

ESPN says alcohol wasn't involved. I still don't understand the accident, the report says something like "pulled out of driveway, hit a fire hydrant and then a tree." How do you do that sober?

[xcheck24]

Maybe he takes Ambien to sleep?

[jburns]

Why would his wife need a golf club to extricate him from his SUV? The whole thing is weird.

I guess we'll see.......

That would make a lot of sense if it were true...but I have issues believing anything from TMZ because they jump the gun on so many reports.

Kinda like how CNN and Fox briefly reported that he was paralyzed?

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

Actually it's been reported since yesterday in just about every single article I've read. I';m watching a police officer right now say that she said she broke the window with a golf club and got him out of the car.

Yeah, but there are two sides to that. Did she break the window to help get him out, or did she break the window in a fit of rage as she chased him out of the house?

I think Jen was referring to the TMZ article that suggest Elin went batshit on Tiger and wasn't trying to save him. All stories say she used a golf club, but some (including me) don't believe it was to extricate her husband from an Escalade that crashed going about 20 mph, if that.

[jburns]

Yeah, what gk said.

[jburns]

UPDATE: A neighbor tells TMZ they saw cops show up at Tiger's house this morning -- only to get turned away again.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/28/tiger-woods-...highway-patrol/

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

ah the fit of rage angle I did not hear yet.

I do fine it hard to believe that she broke the rear window, because thats what the officer said, and then pulled him all the way out of the car while he was unconcious.

[Eric]

I hate when stuff like this happens over the weekend. Now I have to wait until Monday to hear about it on PTI or Around the Horn.

[SpanishJack]

what this story has re-comfirm is don't marry a woman that may go postal on you when she finds out you are two timing her.

Kudos to Tiger for walking away from a confrontational domestic situation and unlike others in similar situation, who would had struck back, he walked away. In their haste to get at the salecious details, the press has ignored to talk about this angle.

This reminds me of Chris Rock. Kudos? Really?


...say some shit like, "I take care of my kids." You're supposed to, you dumb motherfucker! What kind of ignorant shit is that? "I ain't never been to jail!" What do you want, a cookie?! You're not supposed to go to jail, you low-expectation-having motherfucker!

Funny how in one week Tiger Woods went from being the most pristine sports celebrity in the world to being just another playa.

And I guarantee you he's going to be fucking dirty come golf season.

Tiger Slam? Pffft. Bet you he wins all 4 in this season to silence the critics.

He will need to do something amazing for sure, or else he may lose some of his endorsements. Between his diminished performance last season and this bad publicity, if he doesn't play well this season it could really hurt.

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

I'm sorry, I've yet to see any kind of backlash to show that Tiger Woods has to prove something this upcoming season.

The dude makes enough money from Nike and his video game alone, both of which I promise you are going NOWHERE.

This does nothing to the powerhouse that is Tiger Woods accept embarass him a little.

[xcheck24]

Excuse me, but where has it been proven that 1. Tiger and this woman were having an affair (they both say otherwise and the woman is offering proof they didn't have an affair) and 2. there was some sort of domestic violence dispute between Tiger and his wife leading up to the crash?

And that's why there won't be any backlash.

The silence is deafening, and this isn't a trial. The media just has to be moderately convincing in their speculation.

let me clarify my point and answer both of your questions. My response was based on alleged articles throughout the media posted in last 2 days. Neither Woods nor the girl are going to come out and say immediatlely, yes we both were sack partners. Two, the reports of the crash do not make sense. A minor accident does not result in facial injuries. A hard enough accident causing facial injuries will have the air bag deploy. It did not in this case. Furthermore, the back window is alleged to have been broken to extract Woods from the car. This is a SUV Cadillac Escalade we are talking about here and not a litlle Honda Civic. A minor fender bender is not going to cause the vehicle damage shown in many of the pictures from the scene of the accident. It is also alleged Woods was found shoeless, in shorts and a T-shirt.
Maybe the affair is all B.S., but that doesn't mean that his wife was incorrectly upset and started to confront him about the thruth of the story. Tiger Woods is a very secret individual. There is plenty that we don't know about him. We know him as the professional golfer, but not as a person.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ...html?xid=cnnbin

Tiger is different. I don't think anyone beyond his close circle really feels like they know Tiger Woods. And maybe even those people don't know. Is he funny? Some say yes, but I've never really heard him say anything especially funny. Does he like talking about politics? Movies? Sports? Can he tell a story? Is he a good listener? Does he have interesting thoughts about faith? Does he get on the floor and play with his kids? Which Austin Powers movie did he think was funniest? Any of them? Is he happy or unhappy with the direction they are taking Jim and Pam on The Office? Does he put money on Free Parking when he's playing Monopoly? Does he park near the entrance or exit when going to a Target? Who does he think writes better, Delillo, McCarthy or McDermott?

We don't know. We know he was raised to play golf. We know he plays it better than anyone in the world. We know that he does not like cameras clicking during his backswing, and he has a remarkable ability to get himself out of golf danger, and he does not miss many important putts. We know he married a Swedish model, and they have two cute kids and a couple of dogs. We know that he is friends with Roger Federer, though what this means is really anyone's guess since Federer is not exactly an open book himself.

[SpanishJack]

from the horse's mouth:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...ml?hpid=topnews

All this prove is that Tiger is human who has his own weaknesses.

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

We all knew it, in 3 weeks it will be forgotten.

[toph]

SHOCKING REVELATIONS!

(not really)

[Dr. D]

A huge celebrity messing around with someone who isn't their spouse? Really? This is all too shocking for me.

[hoser]

So who's got the pics of the alleged mistress?

[Knight of Dight]

His hot Swedish wife is much hotter than the alleged mistress.

Stupid Mayans, had it all wrong. This is the end of the world.

Whatever, he is too much of a cash cow for too many enterprises for them to turn on him.

[LisaLisa]

And you have a fool-proof method to determine which type of woman that would be? I guarantee you don't know what your woman will do until you f*ck up in a major, major way. Just ask John Bobbitt.

[xcheck24]

It doesn't shock me anymore when anyone has an affair.

[Nilan 666]

Probably wisest to go the non-cheating route to be honest.

[Knight of Dight]

Just ask John Bobbitt.

Wasn't that the dude whose wife cut his penis off and threw it out the window of her car while driving along the highway?

[RedHerring]

Ok, you're Tiger Woods, probably the most famous person in the world. On what fucking planet do you think you can cheat on anyone, let alone a 24 year old waitress, and not expect anyone to find out? Idiot.

[Sed]

[Knight of Dight]

That's what his reputation looks like after this clusterfuck. As an aside, his wife should get herself tested for VDs after this. Those women he diddled don't exactly look like they have strong virtues.

Easy. Don't get marry.

That is the sad thing. With all that dough that Tiger has, these women that are coming out of the woodworks alledging to have done the see saw dance with his weasel are not that attractive. Tiger should contact the ex-Gov of NY for the phone number of the escort service he has used in the past.

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

This is the second time you've said this, and I think you are strongly over estimating the American public. This will be FORGOTTEN in 3 weeks. Guaranteed.

Hell you can use this thread as a microcosm of the US, the majority of everyone saying, "no shit, ya don't say"

The second he wins a tournament everyone will be talking about how dominant he is and they'll be no fewer flashbulbs going off as he umps his fist in his signature red Nike shirt.

Which btw I was absolutely correct when talking about a possible fall out. Both Nike and Gatorade, his 2 biggest cashcows and sponsors have come out and said they are going to stand by Tiger and support him and his family.

This whole thing does nothing for him except get his name in the papers during a time when it normally wouldn't be.

[Papagolash]

So who's got the pics of the alleged mistress?

Apparently there's 2 or 3 girls. Here's one of them from the Daily News

Uchitel searches for her fiance James Andrew O'Grady outside New York's Bellevue Hospital on Sept. 13, 2001. O'Grady was working on the 104th floor of Tower 2, of New York's World Trade Center, on Sept. 11. O'Grady did not survive the 9/11 attacks.

Keep fucking that chicken Daily News.

Beautiful, EA jumps on the "We support Tiger" bandwagon

"Our strong relationship with Tiger for more than a decade remains unchanged," a spokesperson told IGN. "We respect Tiger's privacy, we wish him a fast recovery and we look forward to seeing him back on the golf course."

Not necessarily. I'd say he's lost a lot of the 30 to 55 year old female consumers who think he's a total pig and a moron to boot. And said female consumers - at least the married ones - tend to have a say in what/who their family's spending goes to support. So even though Woods' fan base comprises mainly affluent white males, the wives of those males may have more of an impact than one would expect.

And he is a moron, an arrogant one. What he did doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that it took so long for it to catch up with him. These kinds of rumors have been chasing him for years.

I'm in that age group. A lot of my friends are in that age group.
We don't give a shit and think it's ridiculous there's this firestorm of Tiger Woods media coverage. Wow, he had an affair. We can't say we're shocked since people our age, people we know, are having affairs.
