2:30 in the morning on Thanksgiving?
I hope he didn't pull a Prefontaine.
"Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol just reported.
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, FHP reported.
Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said. No other information about his condition has been released.
A Health Central hospital employee said at 2:30 p.m. that Woods was not a patient. A hospital operator would not say if Woods had been treated and released.
FHP said the airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph.
Orange County Fire Rescue received the call for aid at 2:28 a.m. Woods was transported from his Windermere-area neighborhood by the hospital's own ambulance.
FHP did not report the accident until just after 2 p.m. today. The agency said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending."
He struck a fire hydrant and drove into a tree in his neighborhood? Yeesh.

hahah
Not a good news day for El Tigre. Rumors of an affair, and now this? Oy Vey.
That's bizarre. He hit the hydrant after leaving his driveway and then the tree. And he's seriously injured while in a tank like an Escapade while going less than 33 mph? Really weird.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say Tiger Woods has been seriously injured in a car wreck in Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the PGA star hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway early Friday in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle.
Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. His condition was not immediately known, though the news release said his injuries were serious.
The highway patrol says the crash is still under investigation, and charges are pending. However, the highway patrol said the crash was not alcohol-related.
Should be an interesting explanation.
Facial lacerations!
It would be awesome if Tim Tebow, another Floridian, would go to the hospital and heal Tiger.
WINDERMERE, Fla. -- WESH 2 News has learned that golfer Tiger Woods was injured when he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree outside his Isleworth home early on Friday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods was injured in the crash, which took place at about 2:30 a.m., and was taken to Health Central Hospital. The Orange County Fire Department confirmed that a patient was taken to Health Central, but would not confirm that the patient was Woods.
A source told WESH 2 News that Woods has been treated for facial lacerations.
Woods was driving a 2009 black Cadillac Escalade when he lost control and hit a fire hydrant outside his home and a tree outside his neighbor's home, FHP said.
FHP said the crash is still under investigation. It said alcohol did not play a role in the crash, but that charges are pending.
Woods lives with his wife, supermodel Elin Nordegren, and two children.
Facial lacerations? They must be pretty bad for him to be listed in serious condition, right?
Considering that many of next week's NXN activities are hosted at Nike's Tiger Woods Center, this doesn't exactly come at a great time--not that an accident ever does come at a great time.
I heard he was trying to beat the crowds to Wal-Mart.
His agent said he is fine and the mayor said he was released from the hospital.
Is this some cops over reacting or the media once again talking before they know details?
Yes, the real concern is how this will affect high school cross country. yeesh

If you weren't interested, what the hell did you click on the thread for you moron?
How can you be is serious condition but treated and released from the hospital?
Sounds like another case of each media outlet rushing to be first with a story, and f***ing the whole thing up.
Read again.
Nice job media:
A statement from Woods' publicist and Health Central Hospital called the accident "minor," and said Woods was "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."
Looks like he broke his Driver....
Was that too soon?
