| Tiger crashes, wife smashes |
| 2009-11-28 |
| TIGER Woods' was not just injured by a car smash, but also by his golf-club-weilding wife, according to reports. Celebrity website TMZ.com claims the PGA star sustained facial injuries when his wife Elin Nordegren confronted Woods about rumours he was seeing another woman. Woods has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol. But according to TMZ, the website that broke Michael Jackson's death, Woods had a conversation explaining what happened before the car smash. "The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up," TMZ claims. "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." Earlier today, Highway Patrol police said Woods was injured in the accident outside his Florida mansion, so his wife used a golf club to smash out the back window and help get the world's No. 1 golfer out of the vehicle . Then news broke that the incident was "a domestic issue". Woods was treated and released from a hospital in good condition, his spokesman said. Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor told The Associated Press that officers found the 33-year-old PGA star laying in the street with his wife, Elin, hovering over him. She told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and "came out and broke the back window with a golf club". Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips, and he had blood in his mouth, Saylor said. The chief said Woods was in and out of consciousness when his two officers arrived. He said the officers held Woods to the ground and "when he woke up, he tried to get up and lost consciousness". He said officers treated Woods for 10 minutes until an ambulance arrived. The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was alone in his car when he pulled out of his driveway from his mansion at Isleworth, a gated waterfront community just outside Orlando. The patrol said alcohol was not involved, although the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed. Left unanswered was where Woods was going at that hour. |

| #20 The chief said Woods was in and out of consciousness when his two officers arrived. He said the officers held Woods to the ground and "when he woke up, he tried to get up and lost consciousness". Normally, if you're not going to out right kill a tiger, you anesthetize them first before you tag them. As any game warden would before sending them back to the wild in a relocation operation. Badges, she don't need no stinking badges. Of course, if the population is becoming too large, you'll also do a little operation to prevent further reproduction. |

| #4 I might have gone with the sand wedge for that shot... A biker of courage and integrity. Me, no, I'd have to choke down on a 7 and hope to hit the sweet spot. |
