(CNN) -- Golfer Tiger Woods was taken to a Florida hospital after suffering serious injuries in a car wreck early Friday, officials said.
The one-car accident occurred about 2:25 a.m. near his home in Windermere, a suburb of Orlando, according to an incident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
Woods, 33, had just pulled out of his driveway and begun to drive down the street when his Cadillac SUV struck a fire hydrant, the Florida Highway Patrol said. The front of his vehicle then struck a tree.
Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital, though a woman who answered the phone Friday afternoon said he was not there.

The crash is under investigation and charges are pending, though it was not clear who could face charges. The accident did not appear to have been alcohol-related, the statement said.
I wish him a full recovery.

Tiger Woods SPEECH: VIDEO, Details & More
I am sorry that he is expected to come out, in the middle of rehab, and make a huge apology to the entire world once again for his actions (I'm sure it is part of recover and his own PR plan but it is also a response to the public's huge interest). He made really bad decisions as a sex addict, but he didn't friggin commit murder. His crime is against his wife and kid. Tiger - go back to rehab and on with your life. See ya on TV kicking some ass on the golf course.
Yes, I think Tiger is a dumbass and has royally screwed up his family life. and he has put himself in the gutter - becoming much like the trash he was dating. But that is for him to deal with.
Also, all the women who have come out and reported sordid details are pathetic . I'm so not interested. i guess they are making desperately needed cash cutting deals with the media. gross.
Agreed. Still scratching my... as to why this is news.
Tiger, sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Own it and move it along! See ya on the green! :wave:

I think that was a slap in the face to the home wreckers he was involved with. Bout' time! It is surprising I haven't heard more derogatory comments about them.

hey sgg. those women are gross. I don't consider them home wreckers - that was Tiger's doing - it was his choice entirely. but seeing these women in the media telling all as if they have done something noble rather than sleazy is just appalling.

I feel so bad for any person who is made to face their personal demons in public. It is a moral dilema for me. I support freedom of the press but I also know I would not want to face my demons while in from of a microphone. I pray for the best for him and his family...

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodI think that public figures who put themselves in positions as role models (and portray themselves as such) owe the public an apology when they fail. I also think they need to display the appropriate values for their positions. For example, I criticized Michelle Obama for posing for photo shoots focusing on her stylish clothing when so many people in the country have lost their jobs, homes, etc. Not appropriate in my opinion. Some public figures choose not to care what the public thinks -- that's their prerogative. The public *should* have enough sense to not put them up on a pedestal.
Back to Tiger, his public apology was so carefully crafted as to not seem sincere. Yes, I agree with him that the details of what has and is happening between him and Elin are not the public's right to know.
It was inappropriate that he showed anger towards the media. Yes, I would be furious if the media were following my wife and children around when they are just innocent victims. But he brought that attention on his family; the media was just doing what they are paid to do. He could have just asked nicely for the media to respect his family's privacy without showing blame and anger.
His wooden presentation and lack of any appearance of heartfelt emotion disappointed me.

LynnieSoWal InsiderSoBuc8,151 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderTiger is his own man; he's already proven that with his inconsiderate actions toward his family. Who made him apologize publicly? He had the right to not stand before cameras for 14 minutes directing blame at the media, his fame and money.....showing that he has not completely accepted responsibility for his choices. And, now someone made him do this on Friday? Another opportunity for him to direct blame? While my respect for him has dwindled greatly, it dropped significantly after this canned speech. I wish his family well.

I have also heard speculation that he couldn't appear in public to apologize until now because his face had to heal before being seen after the "accident." You know, the one in which Elin was chasing him with a golf club. You go, girl!

sunspotbabySoWal InsiderSanta Rosa Beach5,000 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderNo one would do this of their own volition . His 'handlers' and sponsors made him do it. They have to get a feel for the public's opinion of him and if he can still generate revenue for them. Tiger is a product to them. Not a person.

Yes, those women are disgusting!!! Those women ( I hate to even call them women) knew Tiger was married and had no consideration for his wife or children, that is wrong anyway one may want to weave the issue. The going public part baffles me; why would they want to publicize the indescretion??? The moral compass of our generation and the one behind us is gone.
Another issue is that married men see women as sport and the women don't see it, whether it is the spouse or the one being preyed upon. The women of this country need to wake up. I think any party to an affair should be criminally charged as well as civily liable. That might get someone's attention before the panties/boxers fly.:pissed:

Yeah, Mr. DD and I thought the same thing. At Augusta, they'll be polite. Don't know if he'll make the cut--guess it depends on if they have putting green at rehab.

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodI agree that Tiger won't be hassled at the Masters. It's to hard to get a badge to get in. Why would anyone risk having their badge taken away and being kicked out? Plus whoever owns that badge would be in deep do-do because technically the badges are not transferable.
On second thought, rudeness, stupidity, the need for attention, and other bad behaviors seem to abound in popular culture. So I can see someone welcoming being kicked out to make a public statement by his/her behavior.
