FHP said the crash is still under investigation. It said alcohol did not play a role in the crash, but that charges are pending.

I think that this kind of news is absolutely inane. Who really cares about Tiger Woods and his accident?? Were he not some sort of celebrity, it would have only made the local papers, at best. (I don't wish Tiger any ill or ill feelings, just that the media seems to be grasping)There's almost no news today. The whole country must be in a turkey induced coma because this is the biggest event out there. :)
Shades of Patches Kennedy and ambien? Also, did I see an article about Tiger having an anger management issue on the course?
If I had a crowd of idiots that followed me around shouting lines from Happy Gilmore while I was trying to work, I'd have anger issues too. :-)

Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday outside his Florida mansion, and a local police chief said his wife used a golf club to smash out the back window and help get the world's No. 1 golfer out of the SUV.

Just found this one:
Did she use a wood or iron? :evillaugh:
Why did she have to break out the window? Apparently all he had were facial lacerations. Something is really fishy about all this.Come on, man! You're reading a release from his publicist!
I'm certainly not a fan of his, but of course I completely respect the hell out of his ability, and hope he turns out all right.
Come on, man! You're reading a release from his publicist!
If I came crawling home at 2am from a girlfriend's house, I'd be lucky if all my wife did was whale on me with a 4-iron.
Just found this one:
Did she use a wood or iron? :evillaugh:
Im going out for dinner...haaaaa...I told my husband that his wife was probly chasing him out of the house over another woman! Glad I bet on that one :hyper:
When the other half heard there was no alchohol involved he said wifey must have chased him out of the house with a golf club....he was kidding at the time - and speaking from experience... :evillaugh:Apparently Tiger has now told people that is exactly what happened. He was trying to leave during the argument over his girlfriend, while the wife was running along side whaling away with a golf club. He got distracted, and hit the hydrant and tree. He was also affected by pain pills he had been taking.
why this is news is beyond me.
why news organizations have been bitching that the sheriff dept waited over 12 hours to release the info is even more beyond me.
Interesting that this happened the day that the National Enquirer broke a huge Tiger Woods cheating on his wife story.The manasger of the National Enquirer was on TV on some celebraty show, last night, drooling with excitement over more gossip re Tiger Woods cheating on his wife. It's disgusting for that rag to try to bring down a man, Tiger Woods, who has been a gentleman throughout, and has brought such pride to our country.

It's a domestic issue. We all have them. Let the Tiger Woods family settle it quietly on their own.

Tiger deserves a mulligan on one discrete piece of strange.

Now someone is saying his wife went "ghetto" on him and that she is facing possible charges for assualt.
LOL Ralph! I guess by scratching him up and beating his a** with a golf club while chasing him out of the house?
The fact that NOBODY knows ANYTHING yet FOR SURE, will not stop nasty rumors from flying fast and furious. Sheesh.
I have to wonder if Woods had some sort of medical episode that caused him to have this accident - no alcohol coupled with two low speed collisions just outside of his home suggests something just isn't right.
It could that Tiger Woods wanted to go to the drug store to help his children and was in a real hurry or he sleepwalked and drove. Sleepwalkers have been known to drive cars.
I think you have figured it out. And she was whomping his dome with that 4-iron trying to wake him up. That's gotta be it.
I've always admired Tiger, and I expected that Team Tiger would have the benefit of the best PR advice in the world. Instead they have completely botched it. He badly needs the team that helped Slick Willie with all his bimbo eruptions.
Tiger just announced the end of his golf season:
http://golf.fanhouse.com/2009/11/30/tiger-woods-pulls-out-of-chevron-announces-end-to-his-golf-seas/
I still say this isn't news-worthy. But that's just me.
This just in, Phil Mickelson has been seen meeting with Elin Nordegren. Apparently Phil is trying to get some tips from Elin on how to beat Tiger.
I guess the positive in this is that the police are not willing to just accept a celebrity's excuse and let them off the hook because of who they are.... :clueless:
Sorry, I'm not a golfer. What is this 'Tiger' of which y'all speak? Is he any good?
Heard a little while ago that Florida has a zero tolerance law for domestic abuse. The abuser gets carted to jail.
That could be why the police are so determined to get all the "correct" facts instead of what Tiger wants them to know. He's trying to keep her from going to jail...
If wifey actually did hit him in the face ....with or without the golf club...she gets arrested.
I guess the positive in this is that the police are not willing to just accept a celebrity's excuse and let them off the hook because of who they are.... :clueless:
I repeat: This is a domestic issue. We all have them. Let the Tiger Woods family kiss and make up in private. Despite opinions of the many legal eagles above, by law, neither Tiger nor Elin must talk to the cops or anyone else. No doubt Tiger is listening to his attorneys.
Still not news. Sorry - you'll never get me to agree to that. It's a distraction that the media is over-covering to keep people from focusing on the real news - the news that affects our lives...
I totally agree with you....it is NOT news.
But between Tiger and the media distorting the issue with Huckabee and the murdering animal in Tacoma....not much time left to talk about the health care bill and how it's going to screw us all over....
I just heard by chance yesterday...that for those of us who have health insurance on our own...rather than through work....our premiums will increase something like 15%!!!
It's already a f'n fortune which is why I don't have any right now. I can't afford $500 a month for health insurance...I saw the doctor twice this year...cost me $150....total.
I like you... but the last sentence grates on me. I'm very tired of hearing it (not from you) from people who spend hundreds a month on cable, internet, lattes, eating out, xbox, travel, blah blah blah blah... Most of the people I know who say they cannot afford insurance (again, not pointing fingers at all) have way more stuff than I will ever hope to.
Yes it is a domestic issue.....one where the cops were called, an ambulance, a fire truck as a first responder.
He was apparently in and out of consciousness for several minutes.
He was admitted to the hospital where he was kept overnight.
He had lacerations on his face....with no blood in the car.....face lacerations bleed something fierce.
Again ...Florida has a zero tolerance law regarding domestic abuse.
IF this had been kept behind closed doors.....no one would ever have known....the Woods' family could kiss and make up....go their separate ways....whatever.
But it became public as soon as the cops were called.
Just as it would be public if the cops were called to almost anybody's house. Lots of places publish police/ambulance/fire calls in the paper.
The fact that I don't have health insurance is NO ONE'S RESPONSIBILITY BUT MINE.
I DON"T want government to control the health insurance industry....all I want is for it to be competitive and be able to have more choices than what I have in the state of TN. I'm self employed with no benefits, so I must buy my own insurance. I get lumped into a group of unhealthy people, and because of my age - 56 - my rates get raised at least once or twice a year....even though I haven't been to the doctor!!
Yes I can afford insurance at reasonable rates...I can probably afford $500 a month....but the coverage sucks for that much money. Getting personal...I have no "parts"....yet because of my age, I'm considered a high risk for uterine and ovarian cancer....so my rate gets increased. Helllllooooo....I don't have those parts!...but I have to pay for it anyway.
I want tort reform.
I want to be able to pick my own doctors, go to them when I want, and be able to have preventative health care on my terms not the government's.
I want more competition in the health insurance market so that I have better choices for insurance and better coverage. Pretty sad when paying several hundred dollars a month for insurance and have to pay for half the cost of a hysterectomy.
I don't expect the government to pay for my health care....nor do I want them or anyone else to. I don't want to pay for anybody else's either.
What does it matter if someone here suggests he comes clean? We're just talking among ourselves. No harm.No harm at all. It's just gossip because of who Tiger is. The Enquirer will make a lot of money. I'm moving on.
.
Looks like the P.R. team woke up.
He may be right about being entitled to privacy and his fame doesn't earn us a front row seat to his personal drama, but he's going to have to realize that life isn't fair and the public will eat you alive. The cat is out of the bag and his only option at this point is damage control.
El Tigre has a full-blown Bill Clinton style bimbo eruption now. They are lining up at the MSM and tabloid pay windows. And now he's put this Jimmy Swaggart statement on his website, after the bimbos started peddling his voicemails and text messages. Tiger must have the worst PR firm in the entire universe. Unbelievable. Now even the worldwide leader in sports is piling on.
If you don't think it's news, that's fine, but in fact, it is. A billion-dollar enterprise and the world's greatest athlete are at the center of a PR firestorm.
I am not a Tiger fan. I pull for Phil. However, I do hope that he patches things up with his wife and behaves himself in the future. I am sure he realizes that a great deal of his earnings/endorsements could go down the tube. He needs to do some serious soul searching.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
ALL THAT MONEY, ALL THAT YOUTH, ALL THAT ***** , even a Saint would be tempted. :evillaugh:An ordinary guy hasen't a chance! :tongue:
It's just gossip because of who Tiger is.
ALL THAT MONEY, ALL THAT YOUTH, ALL THAT ***** , even a Saint would be tempted. :evillaugh:An ordinary guy hasen't a chance! :tongue:AND all those women throwing themselves at him!!!!!
:cheersmate: :cheersmate: :cheersmate:
Truer words were Never spoken------That goes for both of them.
Mother in all her 87 year old glory is becoming some what of a liberal these days.
Before any of the confession of his transgressions came out, Mom gave me a interesting example of the thinking from her generation messed up with today's generations.
Strange story she told me,--- how did Tiger get his face cut if the back window was broken?
She wonders about the golf club for example, does Tiger leave his prized golf clubs scattered about the house?
No blood in the car from his head wounds.?
Did anyone check the wife for drugs or booze.? Not so outlandish --when the police come to an accident scene to find a auto that has been in an accident and the mans wife beating the heck out of the car with a golf club at 2:30 in the morning.
Her theory;
She thinks it was building up since the newspaper story. All woman will tell you that at the slightest sniff of our man catting around. They start snooping, checking credit card recipes, and the worse, they begin to watch their men very carefully.
A man that is innocent will not even notice the slight change in their wife's attitude.
A guilty male at first is on guard and takes extreme caution to keep his double life a secret. One tip off is if the husband suddenly becomes jealous of her. Keeps her off balance so she won't see him as he is. Sooner or later the male gets sloppy, doesn't check his pockets for notes or receipts. Worse he may Begin to buy wife gilt gifts become more interested in sex with her and over do the compliments.
Mom thinks that this must have been along the lines of her scenario. My Mom the female detective, calling Miss Marple.
Whatever, after the story came out about the Lady and the Tiger, wife snooped his phone.
Only conjecture of what actually happend from there on in.
100 ways this story could have played out.
As a fan of Colombo and real life mystery's I could imagine with Moms input a scene such as this.
That night Tiger slept in his trophy room fully clothed as she had kicked him out of her bedroom.
She spent hours on the phone with her friends trying to make sense out of her life going out the window. Perhaps she finally at 2 AM recieved from someone in the know a call with bad news, there are more even worse transgressions that will be pasted on bill boards world wide.
Wife marches into Trophy room and demands an accounting but Hubby pretends to be asleep or ignores her. Wife in a rage picks up off the wall a special golf club put on display and smacks hubby in the head.
Hubby gets up and staggers out still fully clothed and gets in car, then he may have blacked out and the car rolls backward into a tree and fire plug. Wife still steaming but with little idea of the damage she did to Hubby's head then takes her frustration out on the car.
Everyone comes a running and there she stands---anyone know how she was dressed at the time,?
holding a lethal weapon in her hands.
OPTIONS for her at this point, make up anykind of story about why she was busting windows---later if her story does not wash then claim she was in shock.
She cries and shrieks with fear for her husbands life and on the way to the hospital with Tiger, has her hand held calculate out figuring out the difference in just how much she can get from a divorce or his death or how much she would have to settle for if they stayed together after the kids left home.
Darn got to hand it to my Mother, only question I had for her after the exercise in playing detective was-----------Why Mom had never before revealed all the secrets woman have to catch a cheating man. In my life I could have with that knowledge spaired myself much grief.
Her answer was simple------She did not want to visit me in prison.
Rush was telling his audience that a mutual confidant of Professor Limbaugh and the Woods Family has told him of multiple "family counselling sessions" at the Woods home PER DAY, of a 7-figure fund transfer to an account controlled solely by Mrs. Woods, and of attorneys being called in to modify the pre-nup, altering the separation terms (how long she must stay with Mr. Woods in order to qualify for what sum of money) considerably in her favor.
Sooo, Mr. Woods married a trophy wife, then let his ego convince him that he could give her a reason to take him to the cleaners with impugnity? Sounds like any other dumb jock I've ever met/heard of.
I hope he's reduced to giving lessons to 68-year old fat chicks to make the rent. (Sorry, I take my wedding vows that seriously.) Dumb jock should have known better.
$100M in endorsements likely to go away. Guy's a friggen moron.
Kobe Bryant recovered from a scandal that was worse, and his jersey is back to being the #1 seller in the NBA.
(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff84/wayne66_01/Good%20morning/image1.jpg)OK, so it wasn't my last post!
I don't know the lady...but she could also be a money hungry type who saw an opportunity and went for it. She was an au-pair and was introduced to Tiger right before she was supposed to be sent back to Sweden. Still, nothing justifies a cheat..but he shouldv'e thought with his brain.Jeez, why would anyone think Tiger's Elin was a trophy wife or a money hungry wife??? There's no evidence of any of that. She was a young, beautiful au-pair introduced to Tiger by another golfer. They fell in love and married. The had two children. Tiger is the villian here. She's a victim. Fortunately, she's got good attorneys.
Seriously.... Why is this even a big story?No one should ever speak or think of anything except our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's ****ed up to do otherwise.
We have US soldiers dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan and the MSM is focused on Tiger?
Talk about ****ed up priorities.

"We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron."
Hmmmm....I'm thinking Ping is going to want her as their new spokesperson.
Imagine all the women in the world who may now be interested in a well-made iron...... :evillaugh:
She also doesn't have to stand at the ladies tee to smack around some balls
ESPN Radio was playing a soundbite from Jesper Parnavik this morning apologizing to Elin for introducing them.
http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=4707629
:rotf:
I heard that on the Golf Channel last night when I got home. Jesper is always one to speak his mind, but I was still kind of surprised.
Also meant to post last night that the Golf Channel apparently went wall-to-wall with Tiger. They kept repeating their half-hour long "special report" throughout the night. :whatever:
Hey, it's the Golf Channel. What did you expect? This is the most salacious story to hit the industry since....well, ever. LOL.
Tiger should have left his balls on his own course
Tiger should have left his balls on his own course
If he keeps going off course, he may wake up with a disqualification because of no balls.
And no tee either
What's the difference between a golf ball and an SUV?
Tiger can drive a golf ball almost 400 yards. :rotf:
Who knew the most boring sport in the world would have such violence with the equipment.
OK, so it wasn't my last post!Do I remember corrrectly that Tiger's mom divorced his dad for the same reason?!
I stuck with Tiger all the way till he was caught on voice mail trashing his marriage, humiliating his wife on voice mail to his mistress.
Such a lousy, low class - to say nothing of stupid - thing to do.
Apparently his wife, Elin, has received a 6 figure money account in her own name. Good for her.
God knows what happens now. For the sake of the marriage and the children I hope they can patch things up. I hope Elin can learn to trust him or any man again. If she can't, she's got a fat cushion of dough to help see her through the heartbreak. She's young, beautiful and rich. She'll make it.
It's not like his wife looked like Barbara Mikulski.... makes ya wonder a little what the hell was wrong with him.
Sorry but I think you ask in jest - 'he's worth a billion dollars, is idolized, almost cannonized and pampered in the golf and media world, and he has always gone after collecting 'trophies'.
But now according to 'news reports' - this one may cost him $80 million, [damn that's almost what he made last year :thatsright:]
Per talk show this morning, his prenup gives an automatic $300M to his wife. If I were her, frankly (despite my sincere belief marriage is forever), I'd take the money, the chittlens and ruin his carrer out of spite... That's just the "there is no excuse for cheating" black and white attitude, though.
Aside from the career ruining, I agree wholeheartedly.I think she'll stay and patch things up. Remember Bill Clinton's disgraceful antics???He was POTUS, carrying on with an intern (and many others), he lied to the public and congress, was impeached for lying to congress, stayed as POTUS and is still a rock star. The wife, remember her? stayed with him.
I read that the gal he had a 3 year affair with used drugs. If someone comes forth with proof Tiger has been using drugs, he can kiss those hundreds of million in endorsements goodbye. It would not surprise me of his stupidity. It is also rumored that he paid one of the bimbos a million to keep quiet.
I'd be shocked if Tiger has been using any drugs except maybe painkillers, and probably HGH.
The horse is out of the barn and there are other shoes to drop. The tabloids will pay big bucks for dirt. It looks like he is a party child and drugs flow freely at quite a few of the ritzy private ones.
Great... its the Sisterhood of the Traveling Penis.And write a best seller.....Stupid crouching Tiger... :hammer:
You know they're going to get together and compare notes at some point. :-)
That didn't take too long. :lmao: :-)
Outrun Elin! (http://www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html)
Chris Baker talked about this on KTLK this morning (might be on their website ktlkfm.com). Even wrote a song parity to Mothely Crue's "Girls Girls Girls." According to KTLK, the count is up to 6 girls... and they are taking bets on if it will hit 12 or not.
Granted, I think she used a wedge on Tigger, but still.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Mulling Leaving the Country
By Hollie McKay - FOXNews.com
Nordegren’s family is hoping the high-profile couple will somehow work through the scandal.
Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren have avoided contact with the public by hiding out in their family home in a Florida gated community since news of Woods' alleged affairs broke two weeks ago.
Now a source close to Nordegren's family tells Pop Tarts that the two are considering putting even more distance between themselves and Tiger's cheating scandal.
The insider says the couple is planning to leave the country “very soon.â€
“Elin and Tiger are planning to temporarily move closer to Sweden, possibly to a private island, to get away from it all,†the insider said.
SLIDESHOW: Tiger Woods' alleged other women now include two porn stars.
The news comes after Elin’s mother Barbro Holmberg, visiting from Sweden to assist her daughter during this trying time, was rushed to Florida’s Health Central hospital Tuesday morning after suffering stomach pains. She was released later in the day and reportedly returned to her daughter's house.
They are gonna be on an ISLAND.
Kinda gives whole new meaning to "water hazard", now doesn't it? Wonder who's planning to 'Kopechne' whom?
They are gonna be on an ISLAND.Well, yeah, but Australia is an island.
Well, yeah, but Australia is an island.
Last night news was saying wifey bought a large home in Sweden - me thinks it might be -- Bye Bye Tiger.
Just heard that wife gave him ultimatum: give up golf or else. Whay can't his family travel with him in private plane???

OKAY, what is the opinion of you guys and gals, of Tilger's dicision to put family first and give up professional golf indefinately??
You're reading into his statements way too much, just like he wants you to. It's posturing.Ah, you're talking about a perfect man. He was a playboy, Think Warren Beaty, Bill Clinton, Geore Clooney, etc. Tiger got caught...big time. Had to choose; family or profession golf with bimbo eruptions. He chose family. Everyone's free to think of it as positive or negative... :whatever:
But that's normal these days in this culture - we no longer judge a man by his character... only by what he says in a press conference. That's how we got Obama, remember?
Tiger screwed the pooch... If he wanted reconciliation with his family, he would have stopped cheating before he got married.

He only has the appearance of choosing family BECAUSE he got caught... We don't know what's happening behind the scenes.
Please don't martyr the guy. It's already happening in the press. He's not a victim - his family are the victims.
Exactly, he doesn't care. Women in every major airport hub is not a "happenstance". He continued doing this AFTER he was married and AFTER his wife gave birth. The only thing he cares about is if he will lose more money because of this.

This is to save the gene pool. I don't ever remember a time when flying cross country that everyone flew together.This is true. Didn't think of it.
George Clooney isn't married.THAT was my point. Guess my post wasn't clear.
Has been frequently interviewed where he says he will not get married again.
Technically....he can sleep with whomever he wants too....he's not breaking any vows to anyone.

Derek Jeter is often mentioned as a comparable to Tiger in the sports world...a superstar, of mixed race, but Jeter is single. I don't live in New York, but I guess whoever his latest gal is makes big headlines frequently in the papers there.
Oops.... :thatsright:
I have heard several talking heads on ESPN compare the two.....that Tiger was too young to get married without ever doing the party animal/stud muffin act that most other young sports super gazillionaires do.
I think his father and mother had a lot to do with Tiger getting married as young as he did.....his father had a tremendous amount of influence on Tiger and I'm sure the depression that he went through losing his father has also triggered some of his behavior.
Not excusing any of it....but it is a reasonable explanation for his stupidity....
Just to clarify - Tiger got married in his late 20's...I wouldn't call that young...relatively for getting married, that is.
I have never cheated on my wife, but gave up golf about three weeks ago anyway. I will resume playing in the spring, and so will Tiger.
I'll still have my three-putts, and he'll still have bimbos. This "leaving golf indefinitely" is just another con.
Foxnews.com...
Tiger's up to 14 now...
I heard 16 yesterday afternoon....can't remember what show it was, but I remember the guy telling it was with TMZ or People, US Weekly....one of those....and he could hardly keep a straight face!! He said the women were just coming out of the "wood"work so to speak...evenhookersuh - high priced escorts....
