Tiger Woods didn't drive too well this weekend. During the wee hours of Friday morning, Woods drove his car into a fire hydrant and into tree. Thankfully, his wife heroically rescued him by bashing out the rear window of his SUV with - what else? - a golf club. Woods went to the hospital with minor lacerations to his face. He didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Then the morning news coverage woke up and dug a little deeper into Woods' one car accident.
Reports surfaced earlier this week stating that Tiger Woods was involved with another woman, Rachel Uchitel. Tiger Woods's wife, Elin Nordegren, confronted Woods about the alleged affair. There was a domestic dispute at Woods's dwelling in an exclusive gated community in Florida. According to published reports, Woods' wife became physically abusive toward Woods during a heated argument, thus causing the lacerations and bruising on his face. Contrary to the original story, Mrs. Woods was reacting to her husband's adulterous behavior, not saving the day in her superhero costume.
Woods is one of the most successful athletes of all time. He is the first billion dollar man in professional athletics, due largely to multiple successful endorsements and tournament earnings. Woods is a very private man. In Tiger Woods' camp, untrustworthy associates don't stay employed for long.
Since Friday's accident, Tiger Woods released a statement addressing the accident and the rumors about his infidelity. He calls the rumors "false, unfounded, and malicious". Woods asks that the public allow his family and himself time to deal with their own problems privately.
