Tiger Wood’s Car Accident : Guilty of Careless Driving

Okay, so I know I don’t normally discuss golf, but obviously even the novices know who Tiger Woods is, and obviously we’ve all heard about his recent car accident that took place at 2:25am last Friday morning…and obviously this needs to be discussed on TSG! It turns out the punishment for consecutively hitting a fire hydrant and a tree, even for a celebrity, is a moving violation that carries a $164 fine and 4 driving record points (but lucky for Tiger, no criminal charges). And while Tiger’s wife, Elin, came after the car with a golf club to rescue him, it has been concluded that her original intention was not to “club” Tiger. The Florida Highway Patrol states there were no claims of domestic abuse, and according to attorney, Bill Sharpe, the injuries were “consistent with a car wreck and inconsistent with him being beat up.”

This whole shenanigan went down two days after The National Enquirer revealed Tiger’s alleged appearances with a New York nightclub hostess (and we all know that’s a reliable source). We’re still not sure where he was going at 2:25am with a wife and two babies at home, but I’m hoping it was on a diaper run. Tiger will not be playing in the 2009 Chevron World Challenge, and he has stated, "This is a private matter, and I want to keep it that way. The only person responsible for the accident is me." Hopefully for the sake of Tiger’s family and his wellbeing, the media will respect his wishes.
