TBD on Ning

...makes me wonder if Tiger Woods dissapointed the elite members of the media today--by not being 'seriously injured'. It is almost like they are saying--"Well geeze, why ain't u a cripple after u hit a fire hydrant? give us something to really write about here, Man!!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Tiger Woods was injured when his car struck a tree near his mansion in a gated waterfront community early Friday, authorities said.

A statement on Woods' official web site said the golfer had been treated at a nearby hospital and released in good condition.

People close to Woods are also saying the golfer is OK after initial reports that he had suffered "serious" injuries.

Woods' instructor, Hank Haney, who is traveling in China, sent a text to Golfweek on Friday, saying, "I hear he's OK." Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told CNBC in an e-mail that the golfer is "fine."

The Florida Highway Patrol initially reported his injuries as serious — a term troopers use to describe any injury that requires more than minor medical attention — and said that he was taken to Health Central Hospital.

The patrol said Woods, 33, hit the hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that the airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, meaning the vehicle was moving at a speed under 33 mph.

The patrol report said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation. 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.

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, California.

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.



(U will note--since the media didn't have anything to write about here--they just decided to write about everybody in the neighborhood.)

Tiger Woods Xmas Picture.

Red--if u and I ever got into a crowded room with each other--I think we will be charged with murder--because we are going to make people literally die laughing!


That Golf Club is a lethal weapon
great picture LMAO
I hope the guy is still alive.
I just heard tapes on Nancy Grace of Tiger asking his mistress to send him naked pictures--oh gee Tiger, this sounds like trouble. He saids that he has sinned and we know what that means--this will cost that man big bucks for this fun with those trashy broads.
OMG ignore this crap. Who really cares about this stuff? The old media it trying to fill column inches and the new media is doing the same with web inches. So much ado about absolutely nothing. And none of it directly effects anyone on this site. Geez!

How many of your family, from your town, from your extended friends and family will be in Afghanistan in 2010? That might be a tad more important information to think\act on.
