UPDATED: Tiger Woods In "Serious" Condition After Car Crash

tiger-woods-accident.jpg In some non-Bay Area news, golf icon Tiger Woods was in a "serious" car accident this morning.

According to reports, "Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, Florida Highway Patrol reported."

Tiger was whisked to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. He is listed in "serious condition."

FPH also notes that booze was not related to the accident.

UPDATE: CNN reports that Woods has been released from the hospital.

SUNDAY UPDATE: It's sounding more like this was a domestic violence case, with TMZ reporting the now widely disseminated rumor that Tiger's wife caused the lacerations on his face, after beating his SUV with a (get this) golf club, following a fight the two had over an alleged affair. Anyway, we now have no idea why we even waded into this mess, but yeah...

I stand corrected, from the NY Times:

"The highway patrol said the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related."

What's a 30s near billionaire iconic golfer with a model wife and a couple very young kids doing driving around alone at 2:25 AM? Just curious?

What do you mean "driving around"? He couldn't even get out of his driveway.

This whole thing smells like alcohol. Pun intended.

people forget he is half asian :) , unless you go by the racial draft.

"Woods' wife used a golf club to smash out the back window to help get him out"

Sure, whatever you were paid to say. I read this and well, it still doesn't seem right. Kind of like when I told the police that my ex/gf threw the frying pan at my head to show me her method on how to properly pan fry a fish.

He showed up around 2am and never made it into the house.

Guaranteed.

This explains a lot...

Watched it on TMZ. Oh well, I bet this kid is drunk.
