Tiger Woods, the worlds number one golfer and perhaps one of the most co-ordinated people on the planet has been involved in a major car accident outside his home in Florida.



Initial reports indicate that Tiger, who was driving his 2009 Cadillac at around 2am on Friday, crashed into a fire hydrant and then careered into a tree suffering what have been reported as servere injuries.

Highway patrol offices said the crash is currently under investigation and that charges are pending. No one else appears to have been involved in the crash but it was not alcohol-related.

Woods was rushed to Health Central Hospital where he is being treated for multiple injuries.

So what caused the worlds number one golfer and a man who always appears in control, to crash his car in such odd circumstances? Drugs? Drink Driving? A fight with his wife? Or was it just a really unfortunate lapse of judgement?

Police have ruled out alcohol, so we'll just have to wait and see what the investigation reveals. One thing is certain, there is bound to be a media frenzy, rife with speculation and rumours, until the truth is finally revealed.

From the Orlando Sentinal Star:
 
Officials close to accident investigation told the Orlando Sentinel that Woods received facial lacerations. Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn told CNN that the golfer, who is No. 1 in the world rankings, had facial cuts in a minor accident.
 
Woods was treated at Health Central early this morning and released.
 
FHP spokesman Jorge Delahoz said patients' conditions are always classified as "serious" if they are transported to a hospital.
 
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told USA Today that Woods was fine following the accident.
 
FHP said alcohol is not considered a factor in the accident, and it is unknown whether he was wearing a seat belt.

Hi Richard,
 
Thanks for the update. I just posted another article along the same lines, clarifying his injuries and the fact that it is not serious.
 
It's great to know that he wasn't seriously hurt and that initial reports were incorrect.
 
Appreciate your comment,
 
Ben.
