Here's his statement from his website...Just watched the noon news and they say Tiger Wood's is hinting, on his website, that he has personal failings, that all but admits an affair.
But going back to the above picture of the driveway, I can somewhat understand how Wood's could have hit the hydrant, but where is the tree he hit next?
My other point is that even someone who has a suspended drivers license for drunk driving could legally drive on his own property, ram into his own trees and house, but as soon as he hits a public property fire hydrant, or allows his car onto a public road, the police have jurisdiction. And the right to keep the accident private is lost.
I am sure that if this had happened to some nobody, this incident would have never made the news, but because Tiger Woods is famous, it becomes national news.
FWIW, if this had happened to some 'nobody' chances are one or both of them would have gone to jail the night of the accident.I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. 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.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
It was a single car accident and the hospital records confirmed that no alcohol was involved.Here's his statement from his website...

Section 14(c)-1, iii of the Privacy for Amazingly Famous Celebrities act says, in part, that 1% of your privacy is forfeit for every $10 million of endorsement income.But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy.

press charges against a wife that found out her husband was cheating ? since when doesn't she have the right to hit him over the head with a golf club ?Comment: Sounds like the cops might be planning on pressing assault charges on the blond bomber should the medical records supply adequate evidence of blunt-golf-club trauma.
Probably not unless you had alcohol in your system. Cops see domestic disputes all the time and no one is put in jail unless some one was assaulted pretty badly.Bullshit
If I hit a hydrant and a tree at 2:30am my ass would be in jail
What are you his lawyer, publicist doing damage control?
Maybe true years ago, but certainly not true now-at least in my state (CT). If there are injuries serious enough to call for the paramedics someone IS going right to jail.Probably not unless you had alcohol in your system. Cops see domestic disputes all the time and no one is put in jail unless some one was assaulted pretty badly.
This behavior is de-rigueur for elite jocks. As Michael Wilbon (quoting Chris Rock) in the Washington Post wrote, a man is only as faithful as his options.i can't believe Tiger was that stupid as to cheat on his wife. this could easily cost him $200 million (lost endorsements, missed tournaments, DIVORCE) plus his family. that's a high cost for a little nookie.
Maybe true... Was a drug and blood alcohol test done? The reason I ask is how does one hit a tree and hydrant simply leaving the house?It was a single car accident and the hospital records confirmed that no alcohol was involved.

Seems that his wife Elin just "teed" off. Most importantly what club did Elin use, maybe a "rescue" club? I heard Phil Mickelson called Elin on her cell phone today. He wanted to ask her how to beat Tiger. What does Tiger have in common with a baby seal? They've both been clubbed by a Swede!
1. Tiger isnt stupid or his lawyers arnt she won't get shit cause he had a prenup as any party should have with assets or significant income over other way people get divorced these days. The deal is she has to stay married for 10 years to get 20 million. As of now all she can get is child support assuming she gets custody which she shouldn't being a psycho..press charges against a wife that found out her husband was cheating ? since when doesn't she have the right to hit him over the head with a golf club ?
it's in the Constitution - or it should be.

in one news article about it there's a picture of her very (very very) angry, i don't know if it was from this incident or from another. wish i could find it. classic image. i personally would rather have to deal with a great white shark.

Except in the black community.

I might have mis-attributed some of these quotes.
tiger woods is sort of a whore himself so i guess its fittingI always thought he was smarter than this...
1. His wife is super hot.
2. This fame whore chick has also played a few rounds with Jeter and A-Rod.
3. However this ends up, his reputation is going to be permanently sullied.
Dumb, dumb, dumb...
What are you kidding?I'm kind of glad he was taken down a peg... he's just a guy that is good at golfing, not a hero of any sort.
Really? Typical uh.Seen that today to, just more double standards that is typical of the 'black community'. If a white person said he wanted to preserve his culture he would be labled Hitler JR in a millisecond.
