Police chief: Tiger Woods' wife helped after accident (http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20091127/BREAKING02/91127016/Police+chief++Tiger+Woods++wife+helped+after+accid ent+)

Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early today 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.

Woods was treated and released from a hospital in good condition, his spokesman said. The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods' vehicle hit a fire hydrant and a tree in his neighbor's yard as he pulled out of his driveway at 2:25 a.m.

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.

...

Left unanswered was where Woods was going at that hour. Greenspan and agent Mark Steinberg said there would be no comment beyond the short statement of the accident on Woods' Web site.

So the police arrive and find his wife standing over him with a golf club. Sounds to me like she was practicing her swing.

:rollingla

More:

Saylor said his responding officers did not hear anything about an alleged argument between Woods and his wife.

and

Air bags in the SUV did not deploy.

authorities have said charges are pending but alcohol was not involved.
was Tiger on something else?

I think that the lack of any intoxicating substance makes the official story a lot fishier. No alcohol. No other vehicle involved. Air bags didn't deploy. Crashed in his own driveway. And his wife supposedly broke out the back window to get to him? It's a Cadillac SUV! Those things are huge. Think how far the back window is from the front seat.

Something here just isn't adding up.

Just having this conversation with my wife. Something is up and you can bet we wont hear the whole story. Not sure if we even deserve to hear the whole story.



But damn sure would be interesting.

I can't imagine his wife threatening her gravy train. The woman can't possibly be that stupid. If this is a case of a woman scorned, hopefully she's smart enough to get a good lawyer (which he will pay for) before she damages the money machine.

oh shit, it could be anything really, I just hope it's not what I think it is. His wife can seem annoying though.

well the air bags not deploying is easy to explain- they weren't armed yet because they hadn't finished the diagnostic and he wasn't going fast enough. he also probably didnt hit it in the way that would deploy the bags. anything but pretty much dead on wont deploy the steering wheel bag.

If you buy the story, he hit hard enough to bloody his face. While I have no clue as to the vagaries of airbags, if you hit hard enough to damage your face and knock you unconscious, such that you go to the hospital, the airbag should have deployed.

Tiger's having an affair.
The lacerations on his face was from his wife.
He didn't leave his house at 2:30 am for door buster sale at Walmart.
His wife chased the SUV with a golf club causing the crash.
Nike doesn't want you to know.
The end.

/\LOL - nice summation

If he was backing down his driveway the airbags won't go off cuz he backed into something. *shrugs*
Guessing his clubs where in the car so how'd she get them out? Also, why was the car locked?

Tiger: "Officer it's ok, I fucked up, my bad, that hooker just looked like fun wife found out, just keep this shit underwraps here's a wad of $100's"
Officer: "I got this, but just take a ride in the ambulance make it look legit, I'll drive the car over the hydrant for you, make it look clean no worries."

lol who knows.

Part I don't get is the Wife and the golf club ;)

Interesting spin :lol:

Rachel Uchitel speaks on affair with Tiger Woods (http://www.examiner.com/x-25310-Little-Rock-Pop-Culture-Examiner~y2009m11d28-Rachel-Uchitel-speaks-on-affair-with-Tiger-Woods)

Rumors are surrounding the Tiger Woods car accident early Friday morning. TMZ is claiming that Woods' wife Elin Nordegren caused his injuries during an argument over his rumored affair with Rachel Uchitel.

The National Enquirer reported Wednesday that Woods had been having an affair with Uchitel, a New York event planner.

Uchitel denied the allegations to the New York Post Friday. "God forbid Tiger got into this car wreck because of this false report of him having an affair," she said. "Despite it being completely untrue, it still must have certainly caused some problems at home-if I was his wife, I probably would have killed him."

I'd hit it.

Elin Nordegren would, too.

Part I don't get is the Wife and the golf club ;)

Interesting spin :lol:

Well, there are lots of them around the house. Tiger is probably glad he's not an archery champ.

The scandel sheets say it was an affair - but I bet he was leaving or maybe coming home at that time of night - most bars close at 2 am...

trying to back anything up in the dark can get you, and it was a small low fire plug, easy to run into - I am not sure of the airbag configuration on his big vehicle - but since it was not a front ender but a head banger when he hit it - I can see the lack of air bags firing.

And he can always claim his wife got him with a club!

DEFFINITLY a fishy story (and so is that air place that missed its distenation)

The doors of the SUV would lock automatically once it started moving. But if you hit something hard backing up, your head would get pressed back against the headrest - not thrust forward. So how do you get facial lacerations backing up and hitting something?

They say she busted out the windows of the 2009 Cadillac because the doors were locked. But they would have two sets of keys!

So you find your spouse unconscious in a locked vehicle, you run back into the house, and the first thing you grab is .... a golf club! Keys? Naaaaah.

True. The doors on my daily driver lock automatically when I reach 15 mph. Maybe the Cadillac locks immediately as soon as you move. But if it locks at 15 mph, why was he going that fast in a driveway?

i bet he has a long driveway. 15mph isnt that fast.

i'm pretty sure they lock as soon as the car is put in drive or reverse.

Tiger Woods says the car crash that sent him to the hospital is his fault and has become embarrassing to him and his family, but he plans to keep it a private matter.

He also cancelled a meeting with state troopers Sunday.

Sgt. Kim Montes of the Florida Highway Patrol said Woods's lawyer, Mark Nejame, informed the patrol that Woods would not be meeting with troopers Sunday afternoon.

"It has not been rescheduled," Montes said.

Police first tried to interview Woods on Friday, only for his wife to ask if they could return the next day because he was sleeping.

In a statement posted Sunday on his website about an hour before he was to meet with highway patrol officers, Woods says his wife, Elin, acted "courageously" when she saw that he was hurt. He says any other assertion is "absolutely false."

The accident came two days after the National Enquirer published a story alleging that Woods had been seeing a New York night club hostess, and that they recently were together in Melbourne, where Woods competed in the Australian Masters.

The woman, Rachel Uchitel, denied having an affair with Woods.

Woods says he understands the public's curiosity about the accident, but says "malicious" rumours circulating about him and his family are irresponsible.

The world's No. 1 golfer says he has cuts and bruising and is "pretty sore."

In a tape of a 911 call released Sunday, two days after the accident, a neighbour told dispatchers that a black Cadillac Escalade hit a tree and "I have someone down in front of my house."

Woods's neighbour never mentions the golfer by name, and the call is inaudible at several points because of the bad connection.

"I came out here just to see what was going on," the neighbour, who was not identified, told dispatchers. "I see him, and he's laying down."

One woman is heard in the background yelling, "What happened?"

Los Angeles lawyer Gloria Allred confirmed she was representing Uchitel when she was reached by the AP on Sunday.

Uchitel arrived at Los Angeles International Airport late Sunday morning, where she was met by Allred.

Uchitel did not speak to reporters except to ask that she be left alone.

hey look! another celeb is banging some dumb chick and the wife found out and lost her gold digging mind and is now going to sue aforementioned celeb and take half of what he's worth and expect an additional 10+ years minimum due to "life style".

/yawn

The only part about this whole thing that I find even remotely interesting, is how in the f*** is a hot topic and everyone f**kin cares? I sure as hell don't. Maybe it is just a sick fascination that I get from being aghast at how popular this story is. :dunno:

Of course we aren't hearing the whole story. Guess why? Because it's none of our business!

Let the guy live his own life and make his own mistakes without everyone else picking it apart...geez.

So, what club is one supposed to use from this lie (pun intended)?

I say let the the Big Dog hunt. ;)

^ 2nd that. None of our business and none of us sinless.

yea, USA Today's top story today was his crash....

It was above the shooting of the 4 police officers. WTF is wrong with news/people

I can not fathom how people can care so much about famous people and what they do. If anyone else drove into a tree no one would fucking care but
"Tiger woods OMFG!!! he crashed!! He can't do bad things my children will think less of themselves now!!?

There is a tradition [in the US] of holding our role models [principally pro athletes] in a very positive light as they really are role models esp. to youngsters. However the media tends to tear them down more now than historically, in part due to the ever present invasions of their priivacy. Heck, stupid gossip organizations/shows like TMZ make a living out of it. They're sadly far less concerned with reporting the good these people do and Tiger in particular does alot of good.

He is a role model for.....teen golfers? (j/k)

We don't make this much fuss when any of the guys from Speedsource, Racer's Edge, Dempsey Racing, or the rest crash...

His fame and fortune relies on the public's interest in the first place, (that's basically what pro sports are...), so actually it is our business if we damn well please. Being able to afford the cadillac that was involved in the crash in the first place was made possible by our interest in him.

^ not entirely true. Pro Sports are Entertainment, which btw is why they (esp. NFL) don't exude the same sportsmanship as collegiate teams. It's only that entertainment value to which we have any claim. His personal life is just that.

But our interest in pro athletes involves their entire person, including their personal life, if we please. His escilade is his car, paid for with his personal money, but again, that purchase was basically made possible by the public's interest in his entire persona, not just his ability to make putts. As a golf fan who watches his tournements on tv, (which means i, along with many others, pays for each tournament pot, or at least gets the advertisers to pay..) , I am also interested in a car crash involving his health. Who are you to say I shouldn't?

I'm not telling you what to believe; I just find your argument lacking from my humble perspective, to which I am also entitled.

not sure i understand. i don't care what happens in someone's personal life just because they are in the public eye. i watch sports for the sport and follow players because of their talent. if he's off partying or not partying at 2:30 in the morning, it doesn't make me want to see him drive the ball 300 yards any more or less.

It's basically like this:

If your career is heavily involved with the public eye, like for example, if you are a world famous athlete/child prodigy like Woods, then that public eye is going to be interested in your private life and theres nothing you can do to stop it other than gradually sucking at your sport. This man's psychology and mental prowess are constantly of huge interest in the golfing world, so when something really fishy like this comes up of course we are interested.


Thing is i typically don't care at all about celebrities private lives, so for tho most part i understand your stance; I was just responding to comments that say it's not any of our business. Now that is what i disagree with.

What's there to know?

Dude cheated, got caught, got into an argument, now the marriage is in jeopardy.

Happens to a good number of married men in the country.

No need to be a "moralist" or a "defender". It is what it is. Why are men so into gossips nowadays? More and more men act like women, and evidence of that can be found in other threads on this board as well! Man up, seriously.

As a golfer I'm certainly interested, but even as I view the train wreck (analogy) I don't delude myself that I am somehow entitled to his private life.

It's none of my business... but I'm still interested. ;)

And still bet she pulled out the driver. :)

how do you know he cheated?

I'd say we should be entitled to their private life to an extent but within reason. I dont need to see all the pointless details about what drinks they regularly have, when they go to the mall etc. The fact that he got injured is definitely one of the things that should be publicly known. Whether or not he is having problems with his wife is not something that should have to be something we know.

From a guys perspective, I think the media should butt-out of Tiger Woods' personal life ! Who of us hasn't been chased out of our home in the wee hours of the morning by an irate woman brandishing some type of bludgeoning device ? You've gotta expect a little crazy from a chic who's that hot ?!.....LOL

i agree with michgoblue and WWP - today people care way too much about other people's lives. yes, if you are betting or care about other people then yes, caring that he was injured in a car accident is fine but it really ought to end there. those trash shows like TMZ just feed off the fact that people want all the latest gossip and it's really sad.

I'm amused at people who fail to understand the concept of "private life" No, we are not entitled to know about it and yes it is none of our business.

Once the police are called, the event is a matter of public record. It can be in the paper whether it's Tiger Woods or Joe Nobody.

If a crime (assault) has been committed, it's a matter of public interest. It's not enough to say that assaults are private matters.

If the suspicion had been that Woods had assaulted his wife, instead of vice versa, you can bet there would be a lot of interest.

The crash occured on private property. Even if the police are called, all Tiger has to say is "I don't want to talk about it", and there is nothing the police can do.

If assault has occured at some level, that is entirely different, as it isn't stupidity with your property on your own property with you as the only 'victim'. At that point the 'public' (i.e., cops) have a duty to investigate. If you read though, it is nothing more than media who is suggesting assault, which has been hashed and rehashed enough times that people thing that is an actual statement. Even spreading the net as wide as you can and collecting the 3 people who could be involved, not a single one has made any mention or indication of assault. The media did that. And the herd is lapping it up.

Unfortunately, Tiger made a 2nd mistake in jerking the PD around too long instead of just making a simple statement immediately, and embarassing / pissing off the Florida State Police doesn't win you any favors, and encourages them to find reasons to go digging to return the favor.


I don't care if it is public interest that got him where he is today. It does not entitle the general public or media to invade his privacy. There would be a MASSIVE media outcry if any type of law enforcement or government agency was even speculating, much less actively digging, about the private actions of a 'common citizen'. The media constantly complains about invasion of privacy while invading the privacy of those they wish. People just want it both ways, and the slime ball hypocritical jerk offs ruin the lives of private citizens and good officers trying to get both, and it sure as hell doesn't help anyone.

You want equality? You want to be treated fairly? You want to be treated like everyone else? Then give people the same privacy that you want yourself. There is no just cause to single out any single person and deny them the rights you claim for yourself.

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING


If I was in Tiger's shoes right now, I would call a press conference and issue a public apology to the families of each of the 4 assassinated police officers in Washington state, who must be deeply offended that invading the privacy of Tiger's personal life is deemed more important than celebrating the good that those 4 officers spent their lives committed to doing, and the capture of the individual responsible for their murders.


{disgusted}

The crash occured on private property.

Crash ... or assault?

I suppose that if the man next door to you is beating his wife, it's okay with you if they argue that it's a private matter.

I originally figured driver as the quintessential max go-to, but then turned my attention to the actual breakage. As we know, automotive glass shatters easiest when struck with a relatively hard pointed object. Also, she’s petite so most likely didn’t want to handle a long shaft (presumably she’s had enough of that already).

So, an iron would seem to be in order. I then considered the 3 or 4 (Tiger hasn’t carried a 2-iron in a number of years) as low loft and excellent mechanical advantage. But again considered her small stature so compromised on the 5-iron. Not ideal but all you really need from 180 yards, or in this case your own driveway abutting yard.

;)

Crash ... or assault?

Uh, the part with the damaged vehicle hitting stuff...

I suppose that if the man next door to you is beating his wife

Again, the media is introducing that, no one else. If she was willing to wield a golf club against him, I can't see her not saying something about it. They certainly spend enough time apart, and she has access to a ton of cash (from what people report about her facebook page or whatever), so it's not like getting away from him would be hard if it was happening. There are NO indications of domestic violence. Unless you are suggesting maybe SHE hit HIM causing the facial injuries? Maybe he is the one being beat up on? WTF people.

, it's okay with you if they argue that it's a private matter.

If they are arguing, yes. IF it is actually domestic violence, no, it isn't ok, and yes, the police should be involved.

The problem is, as stated, that these theories are being created without anything to support it, and you are using these theories as justification to invade his privacy.

Didn't the government do that with the theories about terrorists and domestic wiretapping program? I don't see any difference between what the government did there and what you and the media are doing here. None. Change the names, change the organization, but it is still the same basic violation of privacy.

Edit:
You know what, I'm going to accept your direction of accusation over what happened for a minute. So which one was 'armed'? She was. Which one was injured? He was. Which one was leaving the property? He was. WHERE IN THE F**K is the indications of him beating her@!!@!$@!#$!@#%! If there is domestic violence on hand, he is the victim, not her, and frankly, that sounds so absurd as to be laughable. Not because it would be woman against man, but because of the circumstances not being able to support it.

I say again. WTF people.

I'm thinkin' she shanked the swing and therefore the 5-iron hosel was the appropriate hard pointed object and was in prime glass-striking orientation. ;)

:lol:

Hard to be serious with your comments Huey :)

(I completely agree btw)

If she was willing to wield a golf club against him, I can't see her not saying something about it.


Right. Because people always confess to their crimes. You can learn a lot by watching Perry Mason.

There are NO indications of domestic violence. Unless you are suggesting maybe SHE hit HIM causing the facial injuries? Maybe he is the one being beat up on? WTF people.

Yes. You catch on quick, considering the thread title.




IF it is actually domestic violence, no, it isn't ok, and yes, the police should be involved.

The problem is, as stated, that these theories are being created without anything to support it, and you are using these theories as justification to invade his privacy.


The story they told police doesn't make any sense, and she has changed her version. There is plenty of reason to be suspicious.



Didn't the government do that with the theories about terrorists and domestic wiretapping program? I don't see any difference between what the government did there and what you and the media are doing here. None. Change the names, change the organization, but it is still the same basic violation of privacy.



This is just so far out there that's it's not even worth responding to. Investigating an accident = invasion of privacy? Oh, brother.

this morning the news had an update they said there are reports that tiger was not wearing shoes at the scene. Trying to run away...forget the shoes just get to the f'ing car!! Just sayin...


Also, how the hell do you crash in your own driveway in your own neighborhood that you have probly driven down 2 times a day at least for several years to go to the golf course? How the hell do you leave the road? The only reason I can think of is either intoxication of some substance, or delirium/concussion from an assault, or both i guess.

There's plenty of reason for speculation. The thing is, it looks like no one is seriously hurt so really this whole thing is just an entity for our entertainment. Normally at this point it would be silly to continue interest, but because it involves the worlds most famous, highest paid athlete of all time, things are different. He is in the public eye, and everything he owns, including the caddilac, is paid for by the professional sports market, fueled by OUR interest in HIM. you get some good and some bad with being famous you see. It's like hand in hand.

Wood's Family Christmas Card

What do you call those little holes in the lawn that a club makes?

Divots????

I understand that it was the passenger side of the car that hit the tree, not the drivers side...

Oh, Tiger confessed on TV to having an affair - says he's sorry!

I figure the whole thing was to help fill up the news to hide the real story - the breaking of the largest and longest and most expensive scientific host ever played on the whole world!

That horrific story gets hid behind all this "Was Tiger Woods running from his wife". meaningless Celeb gossip story

if in fact he did cheat, which seems to be the latest truth coming out in latest reports about his "failing" and such. what was he thinking... come on...

risking this for 1/2 of your estate

I will NEVER understand some idiot celebrities.

he didnt admit to having an affair. he said he's sorry for certain transgressions he's commited against his family.

When asked how many times she hit Tiger, his wife replied, "Put me down for 5."

there was a voicemail on her phone asking for deletion that sounds like tiger. this report comes out how very apologetic he is to his family. tiger NEVER likes defeat in ANYTHING. so for him to curl into a ball and admit failure has some MAJOR drama behind it. I believe he performed some infidelities. but do I really care? no...

unless of course i am getting some of the $650m of his networth :D

I wonder if he has a pre-nup

I'm just glad that he's not gay. I'd never be able to pick up a putter again.

Rule #1: If you are a "public" figure, you no longer have a "private" life. All eyes are on you 24/7: not saying this is good, just a reality.
Rule #2: If you can't hold it and need to feel the excitement of hitting onto a woman on every continent, then...do not get @#$# married!!!! He can be Clooney' Padiwan!!! Hit every woman on every continent with no ties attached!!

Seriously, he is an idiot. His father is likely rolling in his graves. You want to soil your royal oats?? Get a freaking divorce before you plunge it into another woman!! Sad sight indeed...

He hit a fire hydrant. That makes it public property.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/6705260/Tiger-Woods-waitress-claims-affair-and-says-she-has-text-messages-to-prove-it.html

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01535/Grubbs-1_1535091c.jpg

Miss Grubbs, 24, from Los Angeles, told Us Weekly magazine that she started seeing Woods, the world's highest-earning sportsman, in April 2007.

She claims they had since had around 20 sexual encounters and said she could back up her claims with more than 300 "racy" phone text messages.

According to Miss Grubbs, she met Woods at a nightclub in Las Vegas and began an on-off affair with him.

The magazine said it would publish a voicemail on Wednesday in which it is claimed Woods left Grubbs on November 24 in which it is alleged he suggested his wife might suspect he was having an affair.

The new claims about his private life came on the same day as police in Florida said Woods, 33, will not face criminal charges but will be cited for careless driving in a crash outside his home near Orlando.

Woods drove his car into a fire hydrant and a tree in the early hours of Friday morning. His wife, Elin Nordegren, told police she used a golf club to smash the back windows to help him out.

Woods and his wife, a Swede, have two children from their five-year marriage and were previously assumed to be the model of domestic bliss.

Despite Woods's protestations to the contrary, the crash has been widely linked to claims last week by another US gossip magazine, the National Enquirer, that the golfer had been having an affair with a former New York nightclub hostess.

That woman, Rachel Uchitel, insisted today that the rumours were false and that she had only met Woods twice. She said it was a coincidence that they stayed in the same hotel in Melbourne last month, while Woods was competing in the Australian Masters.

Everyone in the rapidly escalating story has now got lawyers, even the neighbours who called police about the car crash.

Bill Sharpe, the neighbours' lawyer, said Woods's injuries were "consistent with a car wreck and inconsistent with him being beat up".

Woods, who may regard a $164 fine and four points on his driving record as the least of his problems, has withdrawn from his own golf tournament later this week.

how to tell if Tiger has a good pre-nup or not: She files for a divorce.

He is no longer Tiger, he's now a 'Cheetah'.

^ ha nice, now a new girl is saying she had him too. (pic in link)

People don't understand that golfers have always been into partying. Especially the younger generation of golfers like tiger. I have played competitive golf for many years and can say that a lot of it is rich teenagers who party. This is true of school and non school events, so I have no reason to believe it is not true for the pros.

and his wife, a Swede

Sometimes I dont get what writers are going for or trying to do when they put stuff like that. Me knowing that she's swedish changes absolutely nothing when I'm reading that article. They might as well have said "and his wife, a human"

Sometimes I dont get what writers are going for or trying to do when they put stuff like that. Me knowing that she's swedish changes absolutely nothing when I'm reading that article. They might as well have said "and his wife, a human"
It's filler. They need to add words to fill up their column.

No problem with partying. He can party till the sun comes up. What stands out is his lack of *COMMITMENT* to the woman he is married to! Heck, he fathered *TWO* children with her!! If you can't keep that 3rd leg in your pant, then do the right thing and file for a divorce so you can let that thing loose..sheesh..

OH! I'm sure there are plenty of hot women throwing themselves at him just because he is such a charismatic and successful sportsman..but..you're married? Hellooooo??

Well, when you get right down to it, probly no one here knows what it's like to be an international superstar with hot ladies throwing themselves towards you. As a living organism, on some level at least, every bit of tiger's being, (or any hetero male, for that matter), is telling him/you to go for it. Resistance is easier said than done i think.

Besides, cheating is totally normal; people do it all the time.


Bottom line for me is that if he can still make the magic happen on the course than i really don't care much; if anything it makes me want to watch his next tourny appearance even more.

Right on that one. No one here on this board can even imagine in being in his shoes: women throwing themselves on him with an asset of billions. However, as sad as it is, cheating might be considered "normal" for people out there..I for one don't.

He can produce all the magic out there to entertain the "adult" viewers who like to see that, but unfortunately, he is *ALSO* a role models for would-be kids who want to become him. Yeah, sucks to be in that role, but it comes with the territory with being an internationally recognized super-kick-ass sportsman.

As for the resistance part..give me a break! He is a grown man. It be a different matter if these women tied him down and had their way with him...

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01535/Grubbs-1_1535091c.jpg

Miss Grubbs, 24, from Los Angeles, told Us Weekly magazine that she started seeing Woods, the world's highest-earning sportsman, in April 2007.

She claims they had since had around 20 sexual encounters and said she could back up her claims with more than 300 "racy" phone text messages.

According to Miss Grubbs, she met Woods at a nightclub in Las Vegas and began an on-off affair with him.

The magazine said it would publish a voicemail on Wednesday in which it is claimed Woods left Grubbs on November 24 in which it is alleged he suggested his wife might suspect he was having an affair.

The new claims about his private life came on the same day as police in Florida said Woods, 33, will not face criminal charges but will be cited for careless driving in a crash outside his home near Orlando.

Woods drove his car into a fire hydrant and a tree in the early hours of Friday morning. His wife, Elin Nordegren, told police she used a golf club to smash the back windows to help him out.

Woods and his wife, a Swede, have two children from their five-year marriage and were previously assumed to be the model of domestic bliss.

Despite Woods's protestations to the contrary, the crash has been widely linked to claims last week by another US gossip magazine, the National Enquirer, that the golfer had been having an affair with a former New York nightclub hostess.

That woman, Rachel Uchitel, insisted today that the rumours were false and that she had only met Woods twice. She said it was a coincidence that they stayed in the same hotel in Melbourne last month, while Woods was competing in the Australian Masters.

Everyone in the rapidly escalating story has now got lawyers, even the neighbours who called police about the car crash.

Bill Sharpe, the neighbours' lawyer, said Woods's injuries were "consistent with a car wreck and inconsistent with him being beat up".

Woods, who may regard a $164 fine and four points on his driving record as the least of his problems, has withdrawn from his own golf tournament later this week.

These stories will continue on. Happens every time. Look at Clinton yes he admitted, but he didn't admit to the 50 other some odd women saying he boned them in the secreat room.

and guess who is now in process of rewriting the pre-nup... what a self-entitled bitch.

Probably her way to get even with him..hit it where it hurt. Now, whether that pre-nup includes her staying with him for X yrs..don't make sense to me..one would think they would take the $$ and get the hell out of that person's life..

Us "normal" folks don't need to worry about pre-nup, but we have just as bad (divorces from these similar minded individuals hurt more than it would hurt Tiger; he has billions, we have pocket change)..seen a colleague blew 30K on just getting a damn simple divorce!!! The winner in that scenario weren't the couple, but the damn blood-sucking divorce lawyers.....you think the "celebrity divorce lawyers" have any hand in this new "pre-nup" gig? I think so..can you say, "CHA-CHING???"

^ 300 million guess just isnt enough... fkin women...

^Hah!! Good point!!! I stop trying to guess what is on their minds....

orlando news reports an ambulance left Wood's estate at 3am this morning with an adult woman on "advanced life support". blonde woman in an escalade following closely behind. my guess is either Tigers's mom or Elin's mom.. this has been a rough stretch for the Tiger and his family in the past 10 days...

News this AM is that Elin has moved out of the family home.

WHY DOES ANYONE STILL CARE!?!?!?! let the guy live his life

why does anyone care? cuz it's awesome DIRT!!!!!! duhhh...it's the American WAY

Reportedly they are making a porn movie named Tiger's Wood :lol:

bahahahaha!!!! LOL :lol:

Tiger's balls lost in the rough

the number is estimated at 10 women so far. and im sure that number will grow...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/elin-moves-out-as-woods-cards-a-sextuple-bogey-10/story-e6frg6nf-1225808398566

With that many women they should be able to make a few movies

So the latest is,,,,

Tiger Woods loses Gatorade, gains a porn star as new allegations fly,

gatorade's decision was based on sales of the line and not the latest developments with all of his mistresses coming forward.

List of girl friends grows - could he really have 18???

Steamy text messages got transferred to media - I am surprised wife did not wrap his putter around his neck!

And all his partners knew he was married and had 2 kids!!!!

WHY DOES ANYONE STILL CARE!?!?!?! let the guy live his life

They're still printing articles on michael jackson

Michael Jackson is still hot property - sales of records, tapes, videos, movies pushed everytime they publish on him...

Tiger becoming an embarassment - good clean sports image shot full of holes? Seems he was on a couple of pain killers and alcohol when he was found in his own drive way...
Nothing more painful that pretty wife with unhappy news.

All his girlfriends seem to have been long haired, long legged, and trophy quailty, but from lower class jobs, like hostesses. He had a romantic tongue in his postings and was able to play them all with style and smoothness. Each thought he would leave his wife and kiddos for her!

All I know is that this settles the argument of which is better pie or cake, cause everybody involved here is getting(or is after) multiple slices of PIE.
No matter how you look at it. :naughty:

where did you read this. last i saw was 10, which is still a lot for a guy who is supposed to be married. but possibly 18!?!?

I don't care about the cheating, mistress... etc stuff, that happens quiet a bit with a wealthy, famous man like Tiger himself.

But unprotected sex with all of them (allegedly)?!?! WTF happened to the Stanford education?

Dumbest thing, ever! Bar none.

^ the biggest issue to it all and why I think it should be brought up in the media is for the fact that Tiger is bigger than golf. How many sports athletes speak at presidential inaugurations? get addressed in congress for consideration for the Congressional Gold Medal which he has not lost. He represented much more than that of just a sport world wide. Only to find out it was all a front/lie. That is why so many people are sad, upset, pissed off, etc. could argue the fact that he did not ask for all that, but was given to him. sure, thats all true, but he would have accepted and did accept these offers knowing there was more to Tiger than what we knew, and it is the what we knew part that got him these offers.

Getting info off FoxNews and CNN ticker tapes...and from commentators on 5 different Newt Works They say TV ad featuring Woods have been dropped, and PGA Tour being rearranged....

My-sister-the-Troll says when media gets this focused on a celeb, its because there is something being in the background they are trying to over-shadow, Maybe the Global Warming scandle or something else inside the Belt Way - like the dirty books for school kids, or a congressional indisgression...

We can only wait and grin!

There is now a golf ad on this page saying "Do you know the secret of the perfect swing?"

http://www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html

Found this...........:shocking:

^....................nice. I had to eventually let her catch me to see what would happen!
Oh my bloody face!

Besides, cheating is totally normal; people do it all the time.





wow welcome to the world of moral relevancy- if people do it all the time it can't be wrong.:icon5:

that's right everyone's crime is no one's crime. I on the other hand, am incapable of cheating due to inadequacy.

^...................you fail twice then my friend. :yesnod:

J/K.....or am I?

Tiger Woods said Friday he is taking an indefinite leave from golf to work on saving his marriage, using the word “infidelity” for the first time in a statement posted on his Web site.
“After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf,” Woods said. “I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.”

AS word of how much he was paying for some escourts comes out - a little vacation might save him some money too!

The tribune says he had been nominated for some sort of Congressional Medal - its seems that this has been withdrawn.....

I think the real issue is how much the PGA stands to lose - without him they are back down there with bowling for dollars!

Besides, cheating is totally normal; people do it all the time.


One trillion flies love and eat shit; So one trillion flies can't be wrong.

Marriage is and has always been a joke anyway. It's just religious propaganda. The only thing Tiger did wrong was get hitched in the first place. I don't care how hot his wife is... a ball and chain is still a ball and chain.

And yeah, if I was rich and famous and had all kinds of hot ho's jumping all over me, I'd bag every damn one of them too. I sure as hell wouldn't be married, though.

This situation is absolutely ridiculous. Leave the guy alone. Let him continue to play golf and be used in advertisements, but leave his personal life alone. There's absolutely no reason this stuff should be all over the news or be considering actually important. This is the kind of stuff that should be on the little news ticker at the bottom of the screen, not actual full reports. I would not be surprised if I saw a broadcasted report of this with the news ticker talking about a bombing that killed 30 people or some other much more important event.

There will be a porn movie coming out called Tiger's Wood.

Disagree. I think this matter is getting maybe too much publicity, but it certainly deserves some publicity.

Woods became a billionaire because of publicity. Every time TV or the papers covered him, they gave him free publicity. Then companies paid him for his advertising endorsements. He got publicity either free or when he was paid for it. That's what made him. And it's a two-edge sword. You can't just say "cover me when I want you to and not when I don't want you to."

Also, if domestic violence was involved, you can't say it's a private matter. If you found that someone is beating their spouse, they can't say "just leave us alone." If a parent was abusing children, for instance, you can't just say "turn off the spotlight, it's private."

As far as I can tell, there's not any huge support of their having actually been any spousal abuse. If anything it was her threatening him. Despite the fact that it lacks common sense, most people dismiss spousal abuse towards the male. The usual thing is "he probably deserved it". All the allegations that are being widely reported on are of infidelity on Tiger's part and basically nothing else.

Tigers wife is buying multimillion dollar house on an island in Sweden -

I wouldn't dismiss the upset over the discovery of cheating as just ho hum relgious excess...

The problems that have developed in his life cause he cheated, the troubles that hit Donald Trump when he cheated, etc. suggest that infidelity and disruption of the family unit it toxic to both religious and non-religious people, and that marriage is more than just a piece of paper!
Otherwise, in all cultures, there would not be such an upset when cheating happens.

Perhaps it is a survival trait ,at genetic level, that suggests that disruption of the family may be toxic to human survival, especially when children are involved!

It appears that either you need to produce a massive lot of offspring with no parenting, or a few children, with much parenting, in order to survive as a species, and we are not yet a species in which our females can produce 10,000 babies in one litter.

Elin is expected to file divorce from Tiger.

also, more sponsors have dropped him from representation.
lost sponsors so far: Tag Heuer, Gatorade (although said was to occur prior to any of these allegations came to the front), Accenture, Buick, Gillette, and possibly followed up with AT&T. I could also see EA going to something like PGA 2010, 2011 type naming for future releases, we shall see.

already $73m/year lost in sponsorships. hope those ho's were worth your $300 in alimony, child-support and nearly $75m/year in sponsorships SO FAR.

DUMBA$$.

for a second this looked like she was pumping gas...

Cav your pic is bothering my eyes.
But yes I totally agree, he destroyed his career.

^ his career, his persona of what we all thought of him, etc. that was the reason behind my avvy :D

ugh, I've been trying to stay out of this because at this point I could really give a shit about Tiger Woods but its' friday, I'm bored, so what the hell...

None of that is unexpected.
The sponsors are doing the smart thing by 'distancing themselves' from him now while the general public is angry about it and hence they do not feel the backlash and earn a degree of empathy which they hope customers will remember and it results in more sales.


But yes I totally agree, he destroyed his career.
No he didn't.
He's merely postponed his careers as others have done in the past but at the end of the day he is still the BEST person in his given sport.

Question to you guys: Does anyone here even care (or remember) that Kobe Bryant raped a girl?
We are such prisoners of the moment and so quick to forget.
Kobe's career is better then ever and making TONS of money despite his obvious infidelity. His sponsors have come back and the public has once again embraced him, what makes you think Tiger won't do the same?

ONE infidelity and I think sportscenter put it best. Kobe isnt a single man on a golf course but a single member on a full team of great players. one wont hate the entire LA Lakers team because of Kobe cheating. as far as raping I still dont think it was. someone saw an opportunity to get rich off of sex with a superstar. and we are talking one woman over what is quite possibly up in the 20s for Tiger. but I do think the storm will settle, he will break Jack's records and the world of the PGA will be back on track with Tiger in the spotlight of the PGA, but ONLY the PGA. he will never regain the status he had before Thanksgiving.

With news of his love child and sex videos coming out of England, and at least 12 other girl friends (list is growing) and a probable divorce....

He has got him self into the rough! The ball is in the pond, and the other members of the tour are moving on!
