Tiger Woods Injured
 

CNN is reporting that Tiger Woods has been "seriously injured" in an auto accident. "He has suffered facial lacerations." As reported, he was pulling out of his driveway at home, hit a fire hydrant and then a tree. He lives in Windemere, Orange County. The press release says it was not alcohol related.

It sounds quite bizarre. I don't understand how one can get seriously injured pulling out of a driveway, just repeating what the report claims. He wasn't driving a Toyota (where the gas pedal may be stuck), he was driving a 2009 Cadillac SUV.

Here's hoping the reports are exaggerated and that Tiger has a quick recovery.

Here's what Reuters reported
 

Reuters reporting that World number one golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident on Friday, a Florida newspaper reported. :22yikes:

The Orlando Sentinel, citing the Florida Highway Patrol, said Woods’ car struck a fire hydrant and a tree in Florida’s Isleworth community, near Orlando.

Tiger's publicist now reports that Tiger was in a "minor accident", has been treated and released from the hospital. YEAH!

We are HUGE fans of Tiger Woods and were so deflated when the breaking news came in about his "serious injuries". We were enjoying watching the Cincinnati Bearcats win and suddenly we felt like someone we knew was hurt.

So glad to hear he is o.k. BUT...the accident just doesn't seem right. It was in the middle of the night, well really early this morning and he crashed into a neighbors tree. If it wasn't alcohol, what was it? I hope whatever it was he learned not to do it again.

Well Gracie, according to my fav rag paper (New York Post), the accident capped a bad week for Tiger. Apparently, the Enquirer reported that Tiger has been having an affair with an event planner. Perhaps Tiger and his wife had a fight and he stormed out and drove badly while mad. That's my guess anyway. Too bad. I thought more highly of Tiger. :throwtomatoes:

Or maybe, having been playing in Asia, his days and nights were mixed up and he was going for a drive to relax. Or maybe one of the children was sick and he was running out for juice or cough syrup or Tylenol. Let's stop the rumor mill here. No one deserves to be slandered just for driving at 2:30 a.m.

Tiger was initially labeled as being seriously injured because of the fact that he was taken away in an ambulance. No matter what the injuries consist of, if you are hauled away in an ambulance, the injuries are classified as "serious" until evaluated by a doctor at the hospital.

It was reported that Mrs Tiger saved him from the damaged SUV by breaking the rear window with a golf club. Guess Mrs Tiger carries a golf club at home in case Tiger gets the urge to hit one or maybe she was chasing him down the drive with it ???


.

All the "rags" are reporting that he has been having an affair with a bombshell-looking blond. I have a hard time believing that - he has way too much at stake. Will have to check it out in the grocery line checkout.:1rotfl:

I thought he was trying to catch those fabulous day-after Thanksgiving sales by getting there early!!!! (Only a joke)

Let's wait for the true facts.

Tiger should have taken the Letterman approach.
Go public, admit to whatever he was doing a 2am, say I'm so sorry and go on.

Tiger
 

should tell everybody to mind their own business. This is a private matter.

not necessarily. Damage to another person's property is a matter of public record and the accident report is also public record.

The reason behind the crash may be private and he can just say 'no comment' if he wishes.

Joannej, I love your sense of humor. Keep smiling.
