Tiger Woods Driving Misses Fairway Hits Tree

The big news this weekend centers around golf's most valuable player, Tiger Woods. The facts in this unusual case are difficult to determine. We've been told that Tiger ran into both a fire hydrant and a neighbors tree, and was rescued by his wife who heard the accident and rushed outside to pull him out of the vehicle. Conflicting reports of his physical condition also arose. The police report stated he was in serious condition, while the hospital released a statement saying he sustained only minor injuries.

Simulated damage caused by Tiger Woods collision

A couple of interesting tidbits of information jump out of this story, besides the obvious plowing into a fire hydrant. Tiger's collision occurred in the very early morning, reported to be at 2:25 a.m. and Tiger's wife Elin, used a golf club to smash the rear window of his Cadillac SUV to rescue him. Some have asked why Tiger's wife didn't use a second set of car keys to open the locked doors. Maybe the second set of keys weren't easy to find, and she grabbed the first thing in sight, a club. Rumors of infidelity on Tiger's part have been circulating recently and images of his wife wielding a golf club allow the imagination to create an ugly picture. Even though speculation can often be inaccurate, it can definitely lead in interesting directions.

Hopefully some of the questions will be answered on Sunday when the 911 emergency phone call tape is released. Also police have rescheduled their interview with Tiger for Sunday, after being turned away on Saturday. However you look at it, the richest athlete in the world's private life is going on tour and Tiger's fans will be following.
