Hope he will be ok...how does someone in his physical condition, and
hand eye coordination, hit a freakin fire hydrant/tree coming out of his
driveway? Damn, Fate is a ruthless bastard.

There is only 1 thing that can cause a man to barrel out of his driveway, wreck his car and seriously hurt himself. And that my friends, is a woman.

No matter what the cause, he's going to have to call his swing coach, his driving has obviously gone to shit again.


I bet he was distracted by a pelican, err, I mean dropped his phone.

An updated version...2:25 AM?! A diaper run?
Phone idea from Gresch sounds reasonable...wtf is Tiger doing driving
out at that time. Hmmmm.


JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP)—Tiger Woods was injured when his car struck a tree near his mansion in a gated waterfront Florida community early Friday, authorities said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 33-year-old Woods hit a hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.



http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20091127/ca...wimO5gUhODLg--

The patrol reported Woods’ injuries as serious, though Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan said the golfer was treated at a hospital and released in good condition.

The patrol said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed. No one else was in the car, patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said.

Woods’ $2.4 million home is part of the exclusive Isleworth subdivision near Orlando, a community set on an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and a chain of small lakes. The neighborhood, which is fortified with high brick walls and has its own security force, is home to CEOs and other sports stars such as the NBA’s Shaquille O’Neal.

The accident happened at 2:25 a.m., though the FHP did not release the accident report until nearly 12 hours later.

Gary Bruhn, mayor of the adjacent community of Windermere, said police from that village were among the first on the accident scene and saw Woods with cuts on his face. Montes said troopers consider the injuries serious if they require more than minor medical attention.

Woods, who has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors, attended the Stanford-Cal football game, where he tossed the coin at the start of the game and was inducted into Stanford’s sports Hall of Fame at halftime.

He had traveled to China and Australia earlier in the month, winning the Australian Masters on Nov. 15.

Woods was to host his tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, on Monday at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

He won six times this year after missing eight months recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee. Even though he failed to win a major, Woods said he considered this a successful year because he did not know how his knee would respond.

Dannyell 11-27-2009 05:30 PM

calm yourselves down...nothing wrong with driving at that time...& accidents do happen...

jaaX3 11-27-2009 05:41 PM

"released and in good condition"... No drama here.

Tiger's legendary for driving like a lunatic...maybe he should get some track time to sate his need for speed!

Yep...Ouch


We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

We're also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking perscription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.

So it was a woman and drugs that caused it, or maybe his interest in woman.

motordavid 11-28-2009 03:45 PM

Had to be more than a diaper run at 2:25 AM...
My wife said, "it's an affair or wimmen troubles",
just as Gresch had posted it.

And, I thought golf and a good marriage were the
last two honest deals in town. ;)

His PR Machine will smooth this over like taking one's
hand out of a bucket of water.

MrLabGuy 11-28-2009 04:02 PM

Looks like the fire hydrant did not slow him down much. He hit that tree pretty hard considering he was going down the driveway. His wife must have grabbed the Big Bertha Driver.

Yeah, when I saw that story, I thought that it was pretty funny that his wife could just tell the cops to come back the next day.

If you were a cop, would you just take her word on him even napping anyway? Isn't she a suspect?

Possibly filing a false police report. Or lying to the authorities. Unless the officers first on the scene were rent-a-cops which I doubt holds the same penalty. She originally told them she broke the rear window in a rescue attempt.

Yes, that's all I meant. She's obviously not a suspect of a capital offense (as far as we know :) )

motordavid 11-29-2009 05:01 PM

Well, this certainly explains it ... :rolleyes:

“This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me,” Woods said. “I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Woods said it was a private matter, and he wanted to keep it that way.

“Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible,” he said.

Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor has said Woods’ wife, Elin, used a golf club to smash out a rear window to help him get out of the SUV when she heard the crash from inside their home at 2:25 a.m. Friday.

“The only person responsible for the accident is me,” Woods said. “My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.”

What I don't get is that they say it must have been less than 10 mph as the air bags did not deploy.

That's amazing damage if the speed was < 10 mph. But, if it was > 10 mph, that's REALLY bad publicity for Cadillac that the car's air bags did not deploy...

Ha...totally agree Quick. If a situation happened within his arena (golf), then imo, it's for public consumption. If a situation happened in his personal life, it's his own damn business. I think he's handling it correct...let's just say his wifey did attack him, imagine the intergalactic media circus had there been a hint that he struck back.

Personally, i don't give a rats ass what he does off the golf course.

Please. He made his success in the spotlight as one of the most popular athletes in the world, gets in an accident at 2am with a fire-hydrant and tree 25' from his house, then refuses to talk to the cops days after it was rumored he had an affair. And with all this, he came out in 2007 saying how Mike Vick just should have "come forward faster" to the media. Not to mention, he can't seem to explain why his wife took a 9-iron to the back window of his SUV and at less than 10 mph, was in and out of consciousness. Anyone would question this, well..any reasonable person I guess ;) Is it the most important thing in the world, absolutely not but quit acting like he banged into a shopping cart :rofl:

motordavid 12-01-2009 06:29 PM

Obviously, in the world scheme, it is of lil' consequence, but it is newsy, gossipy,
a bit of schadenfreude, and interesting to most of us.

My wonderment is why the stone walling; if he gave the gist, or even a reasonable
line of bs, leaving out the gory details, much of the storm would have blown over by now.
(The gossip rags aren't going away ever, and they are usually onto the smoke trail, imo.)

And, if this had been John Daly, we would all nod and tsk, tsk and go on...but, it's
Tiger, whom has so far managed to project and portray that nearly perfect, nearly
invincible, and inscrutable air about him, especially off the ball chasing track. Thus,
it is of human curiosity and interest. It ain't going away, imo.

chilliwilli 12-01-2009 06:42 PM

A friend in the PR world says he's facing $164 fine and 4 points on his license...Law will not pursue criminal charges other than careless driving, due to lack of evidence.

Even if he told his side of the story and case was closed, this circus would still continue. High profile peeps will typically not speak to Police if they're not required as they're the number one source for leaks these days, slightly ahead of Sammy the Bull Gravano and TMZ.

Thunder22 12-01-2009 06:45 PM

And we have a new player in the "I got driven by Tiger's Woods" drama:
News &ndash; New Woman Claims Affair With Golfer Tiger Woods &ndash; Celebrity News &ndash; UsMagazine.com

A Los Angeles cocktail waitress tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday) that she had a steamy 31-month fling with Tiger Woods and has a voicemail recording and text messages to prove it.

Look back at the biggest sports scandals of all time

Jaimee Grubbs, now 24, tells Us Weekly she began having an affair with Woods, 33, in April 2007.

She tells Us Weekly they went on to have 20 sexual encounters.

See more stars caught cheating

Grubbs, who recently appeared on VH1's Tool Academy, also tells Us Weekly she has more than 300 racy texts from Woods, who wed model Elin Nordegren in 2004.

Come back to Usmagazine.com Wednesday morning to listen to a Nov. 24 voicemail Woods left Grubbs in which he suggests his wife might suspect he is having an affair.

Remember these controversial celeb couples?

Talk of the alleged affair with New York City club manager Rachel Uchitel reportedly led to Woods' one-car accident near his home in Florida this past Friday.

See what Rachel Uchitel told Us about the affair rumors

TMZ has reported that Woods and his wife were arguing about the alleged fling just before the crash.

I'd disagree, Tiger is "BELOVED" around the world. Had he immediately allowed police to question him and had his report closed, all the media would be talking about now is how his tourney was going "post" accident.

Hell, Lance Briggs dropped his Lambo off on a street corner and hid from the cops, that lasted all of a weekend in the media. :)

That's right face the media "after it was rumored he had an affair".
Add fodder to an already overplayed event involving a fire-hydrant and
a tree. Makes a lot of sense to me.........:confused:........:rofl:

You have a point...however i'm sure even a considerable amount of Chicago residents have zero clue who Briggs is. There is simply no comparison between the two. If he came forward immediately, even with the version the he believes is truth, you honestly believe the paparazzi/media would leave it alone? They were making a mountain out of a mole hill before this incident, which only fueled their fire. Tiger sells newspapers and tabloids and that industry is hurting deeply right now.

imo his silence will kill this fiasco sooner.

Exactly. :thumbup:

MD hit the nail on the head as well when he said Tiger has a very squaky clean image. It is obvious he is trying to maintain that image, but the silence is making him look guilty of something. It is pointless for Tiger to try to hide it. People will be digging through his garbage for months. It is going to come out eventually and he will look bad for not stepping up and telling the truth.

At some point those medical records will surface. Pictures, laceration descriptions, blood work,etc... If ten mph causes lacerations deep enough
for suture or scars enough to prevent playing in a tourney, something is way off.

Yep. My guess is that he was having an affair, his wife was yelling at him because she knew, he tried to leave, she ran after him and busted his rear window out with a golf club and he was so startled he crashed his car.

imo...people playing paparazzi and rating-starved tv exec is what will keep this story alive. Golf tournament? Next question...simple as that. When Law closes the case, what else will there be to talk about but rumors? You honestly believe that him telling more than he already has will quite the media/paparazzi? So let's just say your gut suspicions are correct...would Tiger coming out and throwing his wife under the bus suffice?

Nobody has yet to comment on statements from the neighbors (one of whom is a retired doctor) about how they saw no evidence of him having been beaten by his wife, or anything unusual going on between them at the scene. Media won't touch that, it isn't juicy enough to sell.

His professional and private life may never be the same, that's a fact. Nothing he says at this point will satisfy the media/paparazzi storm. There will be plenty of vultures coming out of the ozarks to claim Tiger had relations with them, simply to claim their 15 minutes...It's a chess game for him from here on in...Silence can speak volumes sometimes.

chilli and Quick...you guys are funny.

Do you really think he was just going for a random drive at 2:00 in the morning and managed to crach his car feet from his house and that his wife had to bash out a BACK window to rescue him and that is the end of the story? Was he on Ambian and had a sleep walking episode or something??? This story is a big deal because it is a "tip of the iceberg" sort of thing. I would bet that there is an underlying issue that will surface and he will look bad for not being honest and upfront about it.

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 01:21 AM

Actually this thread is funny.

I have no clue weather he just going for a random drive at 2:00 in the morning,
or weather his wife had to bash out a BACK window to rescue him.
What I am surprised about is all the stuff people keep making up as if
they were on the scene or talking over the back fence gossiping about
some factual event that just occurred.

Get the facts people......... otherwise it's all gossip

Of course it is. I don't think anyone said they know for a fact what happened, but Tiger's silence and the facts that have come out so far scream of deeper, underlying issues. If you can't see that, I would have loved to be a teenager growing up in your house. :D

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 01:41 AM

OMG, You seriously believe there's a scream of deeper,
underlying issues that people everywhere need to know?
Well OK then.... to each his own.. Enjoy ....:rofl::rofl:

Give me the Al Sharpton thread. If it true that's really funny
in a sad sort of way...........:(

Yes, I think there is a deeper issue. I never said everyone NEEDED to know it. I just said that it would have been better for him to come clean upfront because the real story will eventually come out and because of his silence and squeaky clean reputation, it makes people want to know even more and the story tends to snowball.

I guess you don't think the topic should be discussed. That's fine, but why do you keep adding fuel to the fire then? Might be easier for you to pretend this thread doesn't exist if you aren't intrigued by it. :thumbup:

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 02:35 AM

Hey the story is news. But I'm more intrigued
by folks making up news that doesn't exist.......
keep it up. So far it's pretty funny and entertaining, imo :thumbup:

Edit: Hey I just ran across this observation made by one columnist

Among the many less-than-brilliant observations made the last few days is that
Americans will forgive almost anything if people will just fess up. The implication
is that Tiger will be forgiven his transgressions, whatever they are, if he'll just TELL US THE SALACIOUS DETAILS!

For God's sake, Tiger, tell us or we'll have to get back to our own pedestrian lives...... :rofl::rofl:

So first you point out that it is non-news, then you post a link from an article you personally searched out on the topic??? Not to mention you have posted 9 times in this thread. Far more than any other thread in the past few days. Pretty strange for someone who doesn't care. :confused:

Everyone here is speculating because they think there is more to the story. The story doesn't add up to most people and typically where there is smoke, there is fire.

Please clarify something for me. Is it that you don't care about this story? Which is hard to believe seeing as how much time and energy you are putting into this thread or do you think there isn't anything else to the story besides him crashing his car at 2:00 in the morning and his wife bashing out a rear window to save him from a low speed crash? Which one is it?

Viperfreak2 12-02-2009 11:37 AM

The issue isn't the crash anymore, it's the hot chick who was on Inside Edition last night who said she's been having an affair with Tiger for the last two years. She had e-mails and voice mails from Tiger asking her to 'hurry up and take your name off your cell phone, my wife just went through mine and she may be calling you really soon'

You would think a billionaire could cover his affair better.

StanF18 12-02-2009 01:17 PM

Man, fame is a bitch!:(

I can't imagine wanting that kind of fame, and the subsequent media scrutiny that comes with it. Hell, I don't even do little ol' Facebook. I hate other people digging in my business. I've pretty much limited my public exposure to this X5 Forum and to Linked In. My perfect goal is to be the richest person that nobody has ever heard of.

As for unlucky Tiger, I think it's a travesty that so many 'holier-than-thou' talking heads thrive and make a killing on what is essentially NOBODY'S BUSINESS. There is a very special private section of Hell reserved for those who engage in this type of hypocritical media 'preaching' about lifestyle. Even if "IT" is true, this is between Tiger and his family. He doesn't owe anybody an explanation on anything. He is not obligated, compelled, or required to "confess" to a private matter that is non-criminal. And I would love to see Tiger sue some of the tabloids (say the Enquirer for starters) the way Tony Parker and Eva Longoria sued them for this same kind of malicious coverage and won. Basically cut into the profit margin of the leeches.

I guess the only good thing to come out of this (if one is to believe the hype regarding infidelity), is a confirmation of the old stand-by: No matter how hot she is, some guy got tired of tapping that!:D;)

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 01:47 PM

Counting how many comments i've made in this thread compared to how
many I've made in the past few days are we? Thread stalking
is Kinda spooky doncha think???....:rofl:

Care? About the story of Tiger hitting a fire hydrant and a tree?
As long as Tiger will recover there's nothing else to care about.

But to answer your question; the initial non-news story isn't half as
funny as the speculative comments about what the story might be.
If you don't see the irony humor or entertainment in that then you're missing the real story.
A story i might add that required no effort to find on the internet and the reason why
the comment by the columnist was included. That's the story of people who have
an obsession with speculation. You know "TELL US THE SALACIOUS DETAILS! Story.

So here's the real deal. All this time i've been jerking your chain.
Joking with you and hoping you can see the value of laughing at ourselves...:rofl:
So keep it up folks and i'll do my best to find a spoon big enough to stir the pot.......:rolleyes:

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP)—Tiger Woods said he let his family down with “transgressions” he regrets “with all of my heart,” and that he will deal with his personal life behind closed doors.

His statement Wednesday follows a cover story in Us Weekly magazine that reports a Los Angeles cocktail waitress claims she had a 31-month affair with the world’s No. 1 golfer.

“I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves,” Woods said on his Web site. “I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.”

Woods did not offer details of any alleged relationship.



“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” he said.

Ah, transgressions...
Decent mea culpa; probably should have been said a few days ago.
I still want him to win every tourney he enters.

The one thing he did, though, was protect his wife from being charged with domestic violence.

Hoping by not throwing her under the bus he would escape with his balls.

Krimson X 12-02-2009 06:12 PM

You knew it was coming:

Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.

What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

Tiger Woods wasn't seriously injured in the crash, but he's still below par.

What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went clubbing.

What the difference between Tigers car driving and his short game? He can back up a wedge.

Why did Tiger Woods hit a fire hydrant and a tree . . . his caddie wasn't there to help him decide between an iron and a wood.

Tiger Woods needs a new driver, one for the Cadillac and the other to replace the one that his wife wrapped around his head.


I'm thinking that tiger teed off the Missus by getting caught with his club and balls in the wrong bunker.

Tiger now has a big slice .........oops its on his top lip!

What is Tiger's least favorite wood? A tree!

Why did Elin Woods use the 9 iron to bust out the rear window? Because she hated the driver.


Confucius say: Cheetah Down Under puts Tiger in deep Woods.

Tigers been dropped from the Ryder Cup team as his terrible record at being beaten by the Europeans continues..

AND THIS IS THE BEST:
What does Tiger Woods have in common with baby seals? They both get clubbed by Norwegians.

Interesting to see how it plays out now. If he does toss her for domestic violence, the pre-nup (if any) goes out the window and he keeps his money....what is the alternative :thud:

I didn't get that far in the thinking, you might be right on the pre-nup. She could get an attorney and take his money for adultry though. Then it's a battle between the lawyers.

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 07:35 PM

He hasen't specifically stated what is true as of yet.
I agree a lot of stuff has been flying around but I prefer
to wait until the dust settles and facts have been stated.

Quicksilver 12-02-2009 07:56 PM

Nope just reasonable......And yes if he's gonna admit it be specific.
For me an accurate comment on his behavior deserves accurate facts.
But then again that's just my opinion which of course isn't worth much
in the court of public opinion.

All I'm saying is it will be a much bigger story when he specifically say's
'I apologize for having inappropriate relationships with other women that have
damaged my marriage. The person I have to give the biggest apology to is my wife.'"

When it get's to that level it will no longer be just about money but about
his character and his world coming apart at the seams. That in my opinion
is no laughing matter for him, his wife, his family, and his friends.
If it's all true then what a tragedy.......:(

He should never say that, and no one should feel good about wanting to hear that. What kind of sick, voyeuristic society have we become when we are so desperate to see the pain of others? If I was him, I would just clam up from here. He has done and said more than enough. Anything more is playing into the game of the tabloids.

Have any of you heard the voicemail message yet on the Us Weekly website? It sounds like him. Anyway, I think they're going to stay together like Magic and Cookie, Kobe and Vanessa. I would think that any woman that dates a sports star or celebrity would know going into the relationship that she can't expect him to not stray even once. In a perfect world, maybe, but it's not. And I agree with Stan...no matter how hot a girl is, some guy will always get tired of her, even if she's Megan Fox. Well, maybe not Megan Fox :) And to quote Terrence Howard in "The Best Man", "the only thing better than some p***y, is some new p***y." He's just a man and wasn't thinking with the right head.

It clear that Tiger is having family issues and is trying to mend fences it would be nice if the media backed off.

The 'holier-than-thou' hypocricy is astounding. I was flipping channels on TV, and one HIGHLY effeminate dude at the TMZ office was commenting on Tiger's "transgressions". As if someone appointed him judge, jury, and executioner of some mass murderer. And I'm thinking: here's this non-accomplished reporter-wannabe gloating over Tiger's infidelity even though 1 hour earlier, for all we know, this same TMZ queen might have had 5 penises in his butt-hole and another 5 penises in his mouth. NOT that there's anything wrong with that, if that's how you prefer to "roll". I'm just saying: don't judge others, lest ye be judged...

Problem is that he is a mega celebrity and unfortunately this comes along with the fame and millions/billions. I would gladly apologize to my fans through media outlets if I were busted having an affair or did anything else stupid if you gave me Tiger's money. Small price to pay for the lifestyle he lives if you ask me.

:iagree:..
Once you make a decision sign that dotted line and to be the face of Nike, Gilette, etc, rake in millions in endorsements, and be a role model for millions of children and adults, you have already somewhat forfeited your right to Privacy. It is very annoying when celebrities make privacy the focus of their apologies. If you are sincere about your sins, apologize for them and say no more..

I've been looking for the other skit you mentioned but I can't find it. Can only find these one-liners:

In “Weekend Update,” anchor Seth Meyers peppered Woods with one-liners: “Last Friday, Tiger Woods hit a tree and a bunch of ladies fell out,” he said.

Meyers noted that Woods and his wife were in negotiations over their prenuptial agreement, and “what’s really weird is he presented her with one of those huge, oversized checks.”

Woods’ sponsors are sticking with him, Meyers said, “a gesture that only means one thing — women don’t watch golf.”

Yeah, and i'll bet that the total is waaaaaayyy higher then 9 in all. This is clearly indicative that his behavior has been this way for quite sometime, well before he got married and of course well after also.. I'd say his reputation has been forever altered. Longterm, I'm curious to see if his reputation gets repaired or not..

I felt bad for him at first. I thought he was the epitome of a good guy that got caught up in the temptations that surround him. I figured that a guy who was a professional cheater, wouldn't be stupid enough to leave a trail of texts and voicemails.

StanF18 12-07-2009 04:44 PM

Still, some of the "surprise" at Tiger's behaviour is puzzling to me. I've met a few professional athletes in the past. And they've told me as far as the groupie/woman situation goes: That if you take your wildest dream, it is another 2 steps beyond your wildest dreams. That while it takes some work for the 99.9% NON-pro athlete population to score a "hottie", it's even harder work for these athletes (married or not) to FEND OFF the hotties. If a pro athlete wants to stay faithful to his spouse, he is constantly SWATTING away models, strippers, show girls, etc. on a daily basis, no exaggeration. These women are extremely "goal-oriented" and aggressive. An envious position to be in for most guys, for sure. And by no means am I making excuses for Tiger's behaviour. Just saying that like many other superstar athletes he took the path of least resistance. And that path kept him very busy:thumbup:.

As for those judging him by role model status, I've never been one to buy into athletes or any other public figure being a "role model" for kids or anyone else. Role models should be parents, siblings, or others that you know on a personal level. Tiger does one thing exceptionally well: he plays golf better than anyone else on the planet. Nothing else. I did not realize that golf superstars are supposed to have lower rates of infidelity??:dunno:

Still, there are 2 good things to come out of this: 1) Confirmation of the "No matter how hot she is, someone got tired of tapping that" mantra. And 2) lots of high-def photos of bolt-on mods. As for the preaching and the "shock", there should be less of it IMO. Any woman that marries a top pro athlete needs to know what she is getting herself into. No matter how drop-dead she is, she's gonna have LOTS of very aggressive competition. And while Tiger may not be the "angelic role model" that so many have tried to elevate to greatness, I take issue with those who held him to a higher moral standard based on his one very specific skill set: Golf.

10 tips Obama can learn from Tiger Woods...
 
Some tips that Golf Digest seems to have over looked:

1. Never teach your wife how to use a driver if you plan on cheating on her.
2. Always hell Four when hitting your ball into a gruop of golfers playing ahead. Or is it 5, 6 … 7 for the number of woman that Tiger has had affairs with?
3. Some times it is not about hope and change, but leaving with the girl ya brought to the dance.
4. Be careful what’s on the teleprompter, and your cell phone text messages.
5. Some times a whole in one is not the best thing in the world.
6. President Obama, you are not allowed Mulligans.

Okay guys and gals...you can add to the list! :)

Uh oh, something bad is happening, I hope it's not his wife.

WINDERMERE, Fla. -- A rescue call was made early Tuesday morning to Tiger Woods' home, according to Orange County fire officials, but it's not known who was taken to a nearby hospital.

Orange County firefighters went to Deacon Circle in the exclusive subdivision of Isleworth at about 2:35 a.m. after authorities received a medical call from Woods' home. A woman was seen minutes later being taken into Health Central hospital in Ocoee on a stretcher.

I thought they were going to take the next few weeks to "assess the situation"? I don't personally care if they do or not, just saying.

On a side note, I wonder why he got married in the first place? He is young, mega rich, famous, constantly traveling and obviously lives a secret party lifestyle. Why not just stay single and blow it out?

According to the NY Daily News, Tiger spent $60,000 on paid services.

Which begs the question: What does one get for $60,000 that you can't get for $50,000?

I only put the link here, for those interested in his long column,

Tiger Woods sex scandal: Golfer being treated for sex addiction at Mississippi rehab, says author

BY Jose Martinez
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Tuesday, January 19th 2010, 6:38 AM

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/20...er_golfing.jpg
Tiger Woods is reportedly in rehab for sex addiction at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.


http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/20...pine_grove.jpg

Tiger Woods is being treated for sex addiction at a posh clinic down South, a journalist and author of a book on the affliction said yesterday.



Benoit Denizet-Lewis, a recovering sex addict, said a source with knowledge of the golfer's treatment has confirmed Woods is at Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Among Woods' first lessons, Denizet-Lewis said, will be that the oft-questioned addiction to sex is very real.

"We mock or it we say it's not a real addiction," said the journalist, who regularly contributes to the New York Times magazine. "But it's very much the real deal."

The world's No. 1 golfer will not have an easy time of it as he tries to conquer the demons that led him to repeatedly cheat on his stunning wife with multiple women, Denizet-Lewis said. "He's not going to be allowed to go out and golf in the morning," said Denizet-Lewis, author of "America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life," and his new book, "American Voyeur."

"He'll do like everyone else - get up early, eat the same food and go through the same emotions. ... It's a really intense experience," he said.
Denizet-Lewis, who chronicles people grappling with addiction, said Woods will likely feel intense shame at first.

Patients sign a "celibacy contract" that bans all sexual contact - including masturbation - while in treatment. Also included in the pricy program are 12-step meetings, arts-therapy sessions and brutal honesty.
"People tend to come in and be pretty freaked out," Denizet-Lewis said.

"You arrive, and suddenly it hits you, 'My God, I'm going to rehab for sex addiction.' "

Despite widespread skepticism about rehab for sex addicts, Denizet-Lewis said the addiction is no less crippling than a bout with booze or drugs.

"You can put down a drink or a drug and not have to see it for a while," he said. "But you can't go anywhere without your genitalia or your brain - those are attached to you."

The woodsy, fenced-in Mississippi clinic, which would not confirm Woods' arrival, is considered among the best at setting sex addicts straight, Denizet-Lewis said.
He added that no one should hold onto the "glib perception" that entering rehab for sex addiction is akin to landing a prize invite to an orgy.

"Trust me, you're not going to score a lot in sex rehab," he said.

Phew, I was worried they might drop him like most of his other sponsors. Actually they could call it PGA Golf 2011 and it would be just the same.

Don't think many video game buyers care what he does in his personal life, that's up to him. Shame about his other sponsors dropping him but then I'm sure he's got enough in the bank to get by.

PGA Tour Feels Absence of Tiger Woods From Golf - WSJ.com

PGA Tour Begins to Pay a Price For Tiger Woods's Transgressions



By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN And DOUGLAS A. BLACKMON

The troubles facing the professional-golf tour without Tiger Woods will be on display when the annual tournament tees off at the Torrey Pines course in San Diego this week: Ticket sales are down, fewer hospitality tents have been sold, and the title sponsor had to be lured with a cut-rate price.

It is a harbinger of what the PGA Tour may be without its most popular player. Three of the Tour's 46 tournaments scheduled for 2010 don't have a lead corporate sponsor, nor do 13 of next year's tournaments. Television viewership of the first two events of this year's Tour tumbled.






In past years, Mr. Woods, the game's most popular player, usually skipped the first three tournaments and began play on the San Diego tournament's seaside course, perched on scenic cliffs overlooking the Pacific. As Mr. Woods's opener, San Diego became one of the highest-profile early events of each PGA Tour season. This year, Mr. Woods, caught up in a sex scandal, is on leave from the game, with no word on when he will return. Without his unmatched star power, the value of Tour sponsorships, through which companies cover most tournament prizes, could be sharply lower. And without a rich flow of cash from those sponsorships, the PGA Tour's economic model is cracked.

"It's a fairly tough conversation for the PGA Tour right now," said Tony Ponturo, former director of sports marketing for major sponsor Anheuser-Busch InBev and a board member of the women's LPGA Tour. "Maybe the marketplace doesn't allow for million-dollar first prizes anymore."

Farmers Insurance Group, a unit of Zurich Financial Services, swooped in last week and agreed to a last-minute, discounted deal that pays the PGA Tour about $3.5 million to sponsor the Torrey Pines event. That is about half of what General Motors previously paid to sponsor what long was known as the Buick Invitational. GM, in financial trouble, ended its PGA tour contracts last summer.

"The good news is we got a discount. The bad news is we only have one week to do anything with the sponsorship," said Bob Woudstra, the CEO of Farmers Insurance, who became interested just 10 days ago when the Tour offered a one-year deal at a reduced price.

PGA Tour officials acknowledge that even the temporary loss of Mr. Woods, who declined to comment for this article, is a big blow, but say it will have little effect on the overall health of the Tour. Tim Finchem, commissioner of the PGA Tour, ascribes the sponsor shortfall to the battered economy, a general decline in sponsorships across all sports and the bankruptcy filings of GM, Chrysler LLC and Stanford Group Co., all major golf backers. PGA Tour officials say they are confident that golf will weather the current situation and that with the return of Mr. Woods and continuing growth overseas, the sport will continue to prosper.

"We're not going south. We're going to continue to grow," Mr. Finchem said.

Yet the absence of Mr. Woods, and with him millions of TV viewers who are the lifeblood of the sport, has made clear how heavily the PGA Tour came to rely on his extraordinary appeal to offset declines in the popularity and financial prospects of golf.
http://sg.wsj.net/public/resources/i...0124192027.gif


On the surface, Mr. Woods's reign looked like a golden era. Revenues for the PGA Tour—which is separate from the four major championships, the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship—raced to $981 million in 2008 from $302.5 million in 1996, the year Mr. Woods turned pro. Major championships featuring Mr. Woods drew TV audiences unheard-of in golf, as high as 50 million total viewers for his first win at the 1997 Masters. Corporations agreed to ever-higher sponsorship deals, both for the marketing exposure and to give their customers a chance to wine and dine in the vicinity of golf greats.

But over the same span, the Tour's overall audiences actually declined. According to Nielsen Co., final-round play on the broadcast networks in 2009 averaged under 3.5 million viewers, down from more than four million in 1999 and lower than in the year Mr. Woods turned pro.

Just as worrisome to the sport, participation in golf on the real links has been falling as well. About 10.2% of Americans age 6 and above played at least one round in 2008, compared with 12.1% in 1990, according to the National Golf Foundation.

Asked whether Mr. Woods's popularity had masked declining interest in golf, Tour executive vice president Ty Votaw said the diminished TV ratings and participation rates weren't necessarily signs of weakness. "You look at what's happened to ratings for prime time and virtually every other sport during the same time period and I think we've done pretty good," he said.

When Mr. Woods burst on the scene at the 1997 Masters, he looked like a savior for a sport increasingly seen as a pastime for middle-aged men in funny pants. Over the next dozen years, he became much more than the most popular player. He emerged as golf's most powerful figure, demanding changes that over a decade altered the structure of professional golf—while generating tens of millions of dollars for himself and charities associated with him.

The PGA should not be a one man sport.

From nearly the start, he had complaints about how the PGA Tour operated. In 2000, Mr. Woods, by then a five-time winner of major championships, publicly unreeled a litany of grievances against the circuit.

In media interviews, he said the Tour was leeching off his popularity, with some sponsors, such as Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz unit, using his image in promotional advertising without his blessing. And PGA Tour rules, combined with a long season, limited how often players could participate in tournaments outside the U.S., where Mr. Woods could rake in millions just by showing up.

Mr. Woods suggested in an interview with Golf World magazine in November 2000 that his popularity entitled him to a cut of the PGA Tour's television revenue, then roughly $300 million a year. The same month, his father, Earl Woods, now deceased, floated the idea that his son might leave the Tour and play only in the four major championships and certain tournaments abroad. "He can take his game to Europe, Africa, Asia or wherever he wants, and the world will follow," Earl Woods told the Associated Press.

On Nov. 27, 2000, his superstar son, then 24, discussed his concerns with PGA Tour boss Mr. Finchem at a long meeting in Los Angeles. According to someone familiar with the details of the meeting, the two men sat across a table from each other, Mr. Woods flanked by his agent and Mr. Finchem joined by another PGA Tour executive. Mr. Finchem basically had a choice: Adjust the financial underpinnings of professional golf to satisfy its most popular player or risk the disaster of his leaving the Tour.

In an interview this month, Mr. Finchem said that during that 2000 meeting, Mr. Woods raised all of the issues he had discussed publicly. Neither man has said what commitments were made. But two days later, Mr. Woods announced that he and the commissioner were embarking on a new future together, with "compromises on both sides."

Take the issue of using Mr. Woods's image. Tour sponsors had the right to show player photos in their ads, but they were sometimes using only Mr. Woods's. After the meeting, Tour executives called corporate sponsors to explain Mr. Woods's objections to the extensive use of his image and encourage them to use more players in their promotions, Mr. Finchem said.
Mercedes, in developing its ad campaign, assumed all needed permissions had been cleared with the PGA Tour, said a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz of North America, Adam Paige. He said Mercedes ended the ads picturing Mr. Woods after receiving the complaints.

Mr. Finchem said he never seriously considered giving Mr. Woods a cut of the Tour's TV revenue, which would have reduced the amount available for prizes.

But in 2002, he added to the Tour's television lineup a tournament now called the Chevron World Challenge—an end-of-season event hosted by Mr. Woods that benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation, a nonprofit that funds the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, Calif. The move meant Mr. Woods's tournament no longer had to pay a PGA Tour licensing fee of about $2 million; that would be paid by whichever TV network carried the event.

The change also meant the PGA Tour's television revenue would pay part of the tournament's prize money, now $5.75 million.
Mr. Finchem said he included Mr. Woods's tournament in the television package not to direct TV money to the golfer's activities but to make the overall package more valuable to networks. Golfer Greg Norman's "Shark Shootout" event received a similar benefit.

In 2005, Mr. Woods and rival Phil Mickelson went public with complaints that the PGA Tour season was too long, keeping golfers from playing in lucrative tournaments abroad.

In November of that year, after negotiations with broadcasters, Mr. Finchem announced a revised schedule that concludes the season in September, rather than November, by creating the FedEx Cup, a four-tournament playoff-style event. The format helped the PGA Tour boost its television revenue and also gave top players more time to play abroad and collect appearance fees.

As the PGA Tour's support of Mr. Woods grew, he achieved spectacular success off the course as well as on. As a player, he is now just four short of Jack Nicklaus's career record of 18 major-tournament victories, has collected $111 million in prize winnings and has 71 PGA Tour victories.

All that made Mr. Woods a natural for Madison Avenue, too, where his income from endorsements with Nike, Accenture PLC, General Motors and others shot up to more than $100 million a year, according to a figure widely accepted by golf experts. Several firms, including Accenture and AT&T Inc., have dropped or scaled back their support since the scandal broke.

The PGA Tour, legally a nonprofit, also was raking in money during those years. The cost of title sponsorships for tournaments grew to as much as $9 million for high-profile events. Full-year prize money jumped to $277 million from $70 million in 1996.

The Tour expanded its golf-course business, opening 11 new Tournament Players Clubs courses between 1997 and 2009, an enterprise now valued at $125 million, according to its financial reports. After covering its operational costs, the Tour donates more than $109 million a year to charity. It also works to foster broader interest in the sport, such as by supporting a program that provides lessons to urban children.

As for tournaments with no sponsor so far, Mr. Finchem is optimistic these will be picked up as the economy gradually improves. Tour officials say the 13 sponsorships still available for 2011 aren't substantially more than usual. Mr. Finchem said the Tour signed 13 sponsorship deals in 2009, including several extensions through 2016, and two more this year.
But so far this season, the mood has been glum. The average TV audience for the season-opening SBS championship in Hawaii was down 21% from a year earlier, and for the Sony Open in mid-January the audience was off 30%. The declines for tournaments where Mr. Woods usually isn't a presence anyway suggests a dwindling of interest by core golf fans.

Organizers of the tournament this week in San Diego say that despite a field that includes fan favorites such as Mr. Mickelson and Rocco Mediate, tickets sales and revenue from premium corporate hospitality seating are down more than 20% from 2008, the last year Mr. Woods played there. (He was injured in 2009.) With Farmers Insurance signing on so recently, revenues for the PGA Tour from the usually lucrative foursomes where fans play with pros are also down.

"Tiger Woods is golf," said Jay Rosenstein, a former vice president of programming at CBS Sports. "The concern is that for a sport whose identity is so closely tied to the idea of honor, what he's gone through has to be incredibly damaging."

Elin visits Tiger in sex rehab, hopes to avoid divorce: reports

ORLANDO, Florida (AFP) – Elin Nordegren visited Tiger Woods at a sex addiction
clinic last week and hopes to save their marriage for the sake of their children, according to Internet celebrity website reports Tuesday.
People magazine and RadarOnline reported Nordegren wants to avoid divorce,
citing unnamed sources, after spending five days with the golf star as part of his rehabilitation treatment program in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Nordegren's parents divorced when she was a child and she wants to avoid having her children, two-year-old daughter Sam and 50-week-old son Charlie, face the same difficulty.
"Elin wants a solid family life," a source told People. "She was a child of divorce and felt her dad slighted her. She absolutely does not want that to happen to Sam and Charlie.
"So she wants to keep her family together even if she and Tiger live together as friends instead of lovers."
US weekly reported that she stayed at the estate of American football star Brett Favre while in Hattiesburg and that she and Woods'
management team pressured Woods into taking part in the six-week program.

TW coming out of the closet
 
The PGA has confirmed that Tiger will speak to select media on Friday. :D

motordavid 02-17-2010 05:30 PM

I saw a couple reports of that...he will supposedly allow "no questions".
WTF? Is that a press conference or a statement? :rolleyes:

"I'm very sorry for my indiscretions, hurting my wife, my fam, my sponsors,
the public's trust, blah blah blah..."

"I will work to regain everyone's trust, (esp. my sponsors to keep the dough
rolling in), and I promise to not get caught again..."

Maybe all the "select media" should just skip it, and he and his handlers can
email/tweet out the "text". :rofl:

Back on Topic: Dani, do you chase the ball regularly? I'm a 6th yr hacker,
but I am addicted, to golf that is. HDCP is 14.2 at the moment.

What is up with Gloria Allred and Veronica Siwik-Daniels?

Can't make this stuff up; she too, is delusional, and sucked
in by Tiger's control mode:

James's lawyer Gloria Allred said her 32-year-old client suffered 'anguish and distress' following her three year affair with Woods.

She said James believed their relationship 'would last a lifetime' and went into hiding to avoid being quizzed about their affair.

'Veronica has made tremendous sacrifices for him,' said Allred.

'She gave up the porn business at his request and went into hiding when the scandal broke in order to protect him, but to date
he has not contacted her to apologise.'
