Tiger Woods car accident ends bad week for golfer

Tiger Woods car accident ends an unfortunate week for the star golfer. According to TMZ.com, Wood was in an accident in his 2009 Cadillac SUV, and ....

in "serious" condition after being involved in a single car crash near his home in Florida early this morning.


The crash occurred at 2:20 AM in Windermere. He was taken to Health Central Hospital with facial lacerations.


Woods struck a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighbor's property. The fire hydrant is reportedly less than 100 feet from his driveway.


Police say alcohol was not a factor. There were no signs of alcohol on the scene. We're told the police have yet to speak to Tiger.

The latest is that he's released from the hospital.

Additionally, Woods was traveling at less than 33 MPH, according to the Telegraph UK.

UPDATE: The AP reports that Tiger Woods wife Elin Nordegren used a golf club to smash the window of the car and help him out of it.

It was a hard week for Tiger Woods, who last Saturday was inducted in the Stanford Sports Hall of Fame, then watched as his Stanford Cardinal lost to the Cal Golden Bears, 34 to 28 in "The Big Game."

Then Woods was the focus of an Internet rumor of an affair by the words of one Rachel Uchitel, who the Hollywood Reporter says is basically full of it and has a habit of such claims. Then finally this accident.

Let's hope it gets better for Tiger. Stay tuned.
