What is "She's got a photo shoot coming up and was trying to purge the big feast without Tiger knowing, but got caught mid hurl," Alex.

I PRAY that tonight we get to see his Escalade plowing down the highway in the Everglades with Steve Williams at the wheel...I could use another massive OJ-like trial.

Also, who's the happiest guy in the world today? Jack Nicklaus

[Rocco Graziosa]

I know you're kidding a bit here, but since several people have brought this up, but you can be charged for driving violations without being under the influence of anything. If he hit a tree on his neighbor's property (or the public-property fire hydrant), he could be charged for damages even if it was just because he was tired/not paying attention/is a bad driver, right?

I dunno, I just don't see people releasing statements of "charges pending" because he ran over a fucking fire hydrant. Maybe the charges pending are due to his wife's dead body in the back seat?

I could use another OJ/Tonya Harding like megastory. This year would FLY by.

I guess the "unstable" diagnosis would be a lot more apt in this scenario than in the previous ones mentioned.

How quickly do you think Nike representatives were on the scene wiping blood and fingerprints off the hydrant?

[lanstein]

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Tiger smash into the 31 Flavors last night. I guess he might never golf again.

Thank you, Simone.

A local police chief in Florida says Tiger Woods' wife used a golf club to smash out the back window and helped get the golfer out of the car.

Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor told The Associated Press on Friday that Elin Nordegren told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and came outside. Saylor says officers found Woods laying in the street with his wife hovering over him.

AP

Sure. We all know what really happened. She finds out about the affair, and tries to kill him with one of his own golf clubs.

Edit: TMZ is on it.

We're told Elin told cops about the argument at the scene of the accident and Tiger gave the same story to authorities at the hospital where he was treated.

One Florida law enforcement official called it "a domestic issue."

Elin apparently was able to forgive and forget -- according to Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, Nordegren smashed out the back window of Tiger's car to help get him out.

Such a shame if he was cheating...Elin is much hotter than the woman from the deadspin link...

[D-Lowe]

If supposedly there is no alcohol or other substances in his system, well then, I think Mr.(?) Woods should get genetic testing to reveal how many x chromosomes it has.

[Maalox]

I'm gonna go with he was trying to run his wife over. What else could have "charges pending" with "no alcohol involved"?

If you can't conceive of criminally aggressive, anger-fueled driving with no substances involved, I want your commute.

They had a fight. He slammed the door, got in his car and left, had a private tantrum in the car which involved taking his hands off the wheel and closing his eyes. Lost control of the motor vehicle. "Reckless driving." Happens every day.

ESPN ticker says wife bashed rear window of SUV so Tiger could climb out. Yeah, right.

Oh, this has all the makings...

[twoBshorty]

The evening news said that the wife helped him out of the car and when EMS arrived, they found him lying in the middle of the road drifting in and out of consciousness. Because clearly it is so much better to be passed out in the middle of the street than in the car? Or, I don't know, the grass? And how could he possibly have damaged the car so badly by hitting a hydrant that the window had to be beaten out to extricate him? This whole thing is so bizarre.

[SemperFidelisSox]

And keep in mind that this happened in a 09 Cadillac Escalade, which is pretty much a fucking tank. So Woods did so much damage to the driver side door and front of the car by hitting a fire hydrant and tree that his petite 5' 5" wife smashed the back window, climbed through to the front, and pulled out her barely conscious 185-190 lb husband.

[Lupe Whalewatch]

Sure. We all know what really happened. She finds out about the affair, and tries to kill him with one of his own golf clubs.

So wait, the world's number 1 golfer keeps hid golf clubs in the mud room next to the garage just like the rest of us?? go figure...

[dcmissle]

But we've seen this before, and quite recently at lower minors rather than ML level. Steve Phillips. The fact that it is "strange" makes it common.

Before anyone goes Judge Judy -- "largest divorce haul in history .. yada yada" -- remember two things. Prenups and perhaps more importantly, where Elin is from. People from other continents rather expect this behavior, and don't got nuts when it's manifested.

FWIW, over the summer I heard from someone loosely affiliated with the Tour that the big fella has more than one port in a storm. The fellow also said that this international icon is a prick. I didn't know whether to credit it or not and, frankly, didn't much care, as I've lived long enough not to pretend to know these people.

The National Enquirer is another story, as it nailed John Edwards cold and others before him.

[JBill]

Uh, well, kind of sounds like from the story we have so far that she didn't just shrug and accept it.

She's 5'10", not petite at all.

Why would anyone have to smash the back window of an SUV in order to remove him if his car hit a hydrant and a tree so slowly that the air bags didn't even go off? I'm not doubting she smashed his window with a club, I'm doubting the reasoning.

[Buck Showalter]

In the weeks to come, I full expect a retraction from this silly story and a more thoughtful response that centers on the following:

"just like countless other married couples; Tiger and Elin have their share of challenges and ask that their privacy be respected during this time"...blah blah blah

or

"at 2:30 AM Tiger was en route to a Black Friday Doorbuster at Best Buy when his enthusiasm for a $197.00 laptop caused him to be distracted striking a hydrant & crashing into a large tree". blah blah blah

I'm going with the former.

So she chucked a club at his car causing him to smash into a tree and fire hydrant? He probably had the doors locked while driving...but you'd think his wife would have a key.

[Montana Fan]

"Your not going anywhere motherfucker!". Smash...golf club through the back window of the Escalade. Distracts him, he smashes up. Tiger lays off of the goomar for a few weeks.

I'm envisioning her smashing the back window after he backed down the driveway (her screaming/chasing all the way down) and then pulled into the roadway. Smashing of window came as such a shock that he lost control. The glass trail from the Escalade will tell the tale. What's curious to me is that in the time this story was under the radar that they didn't come up with a better explanation.

Don't mess with us tall blondes, fellas.

Some info on Rachel Ichitel, the woman that Tiger is reported to have been having an affair with...she is a professional star f*cker...

Rachel Uchitel has run the velvet ropes from Las Vegas to the Hamptons. Uchitel's come a long way -- she lost her fiancée in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11, found love again, then moved on once more. After conquering so many obstacles and returning east to manage VIP action at some of the most successful clubs in New York, she has no plans to slow down.

Occupations: "I'm obsessed with work ethic and can get anything done. I'm aware of what I am good at and what I am not, and I surround myself with people to help get the job done flawlessly. Having once worked in live TV, I'm intuitive about reading people's wants and needs, and I take customer service to a whole new level. It can be difficult being a successful woman in this industry because being assertive is often misinterpreted as being a complete bitch. I take people's opinion of me personally, and that can be rough."

Case History: “After college, I worked in TV and film, which included five years as a television producer at Bloomberg News. In a random career move and a life-changing experience, I found myself living in Las Vegas to launch Tao nightclub and restaurant, which quickly became the number-one grossing venue in the world. Two years later, I was back in New York to oversee VIP operations for all of their companies and venues, such as Stanton Social, Marquee, Tao Bistro, and Dune."

Current Biz: “I’m currently director of VIP operations for Pink Elephant in Southampton. I spend my weekends at the beach with the two loves of my life—Ozzy Osbourne and Rudy Giuliani—my affenpinscher and brussels griffin. I’m back in the city during the week. In the Hamptons, I’m obsessed with Nello, Lily Pond (where the cutest guy in New York works, who I am crushing on), and of course Pink Elephant. I own a Turnberry apartment in Vegas. I love going there for long weekends when it’s not too hot out. I love Saint-Tropez and spend a few weeks there every year. The Four Seasons in Thailand (Chiang Mai) is my favorite place in the world.”

[Foxy42]

Oh yeah...and a 9/11 widow...this story has so many juicy angles that the tabloids and blogs will probably just leave it alone...

[dolomite133]

Late to the party. Agreed with above. No way does she smash the back window and drag him out to "help" him.

EDIT: Logical series of events. Affair comes out. She goes nuts. Smashes him in the face with a vase (accounting for cuts and abrasions). Woods is staggered. She continues to whale on him. He staggers out to the car and attempts to pull away. The car lurches forward into the hydrant and then the tree at idling speed. His wife pursues and finishes the job, smashing the back window, dragging him out and continuing to beat him. I'm sure the inside of the house looks like a war zone from the pre accident fight.

Have fun hosting that tournament next week, Tiger!

So with a goomah who bears a passing resemblance to Christopher Moltisanti's dearly departed, Tiger is safe from the NY tabloids for how long? Are they going to leave the field completely clear for the Enquirer's second big score in as many years? How does Tiger avoid the A-Rod treatment with "Becky" residing in the City.

This is going to put the msm in a bind, esp ESPN, which wants no part of this for a bunch of reasons.

I think Elin has been hitting the Chardonnay a little hard. That being said, Tiger could fuck a panda on the White House lawn and get away with it.

This is funny because I actually work in Windermere - not too far from the subdivision Tiger lives in and yes everybody from Windermere is hush hush about it. Tiger lives kind of in seclusion but plenty of people have mutual friends with Tiger and NOBODY is talking.

Theres more to this...

oh and to the commenter eariler yeah Tiger has neighbors. Shaq, Vince Carter, Ken Griffey, Mark O'Mera, Dwight Howard, Grant Hill, Johnny Damon, Warren Sapp, Justin Timberlake, Arnold Palmer - You know people who would kind of appreciate some level of privacy while living in a place where the weather is nice all year around. Funny thing is you'd assume Tiger would have the nicest house in Isleworth. He does not - that belongs to David A. Siegel - the founder & CEO of Westgate Resorts.

[SemperFidelisSox]

TMZ

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

So do you think the pending charges have anything to do with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs? I don't know what the law is in Florida, but in some states like California they can prosecute you for driving under the influence of drugs, regardless of whether the drugs were illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter.
