Tiger Woods Injured in Car Crash

Find out you need to know on SoWal. Had not heard anything about wife and golf club!

My husband likes to say about me, "She doesn't need CNN for news. She has SoWal."

Wondering if Tiger's Cadillac has security glass. One would think so, considering his fame. How hard/easy would it be for a tiny woman with a golf club to break out security glass? Just asking?

Let me see if I have this straight: his wife bashes in the rear window to try to pull him out. She pulled him through the length of the car out the back window? I'm sorry, I don't get it.

I thought about this - not security glass, but thought about if I had the strength to bust out the rear window of an Escalade with a golf club.

I would be swinging up and while a normal swing would require a lot of adrenaline flowing, this would be a difficult task for me. His wife is taller than myself and evidently she does more yoga than I cause she's pretty dang strong.

I think you get it. It's a personal matter and really should be left to that. Life happens. I admit I was confused at first, now that I know the score. I'm done.

Well, these are the rumors. Keeping in mind that Elin Nordegen, his wife, has always seemed very classy and is from a prominent Swedish family. Always seemed like a good match for Tiger, not knowing much about her of course.

But the latest from TMZ and the National Enquirer are that:

1) Tiger was having an affair (in the Enquirer this week)
2) Elin confronted him about it that night
3) She scratched his face up
4) He bolted
5) He started driving away and she came after the back of the car with a golf club
6) He was distracted (obviously) and hit the fire hydrant and the tree
7) He has been taking prescription painkillers, explaining why he was a bit out of it

Of course, this is TMZ we are talking about, but none of it is that surprising. She gave up a lot to stay home with him in Orlando and raise two babies. It is hard. She went bananas. I'm not excusing it but I might have too.

Still, I'm betting the marriage will be saved.

From wikipedia:

Currently the World No. 1, he was the highest-paid professional athlete in 2008, having earned an estimated $110 million from winnings and endorsements.[7]
In November 2003, Woods became engaged to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model. They were introduced during The Open Championship in 2001 by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who had employed her as an au pair. They married on October 5, 2004 at the Sandy Lane resort on the Caribbean island of Barbados and live at Isleworth, a community in Windermere, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. They also have homes in Jackson, Wyoming, California, and Sweden. In January 2006, they purchased a $39 million residential property in Jupiter Island, Florida, which they intend to make their primary residence.

Yeah, that sounds hard. Being married to Tiger must really suck. ;-)

Hmm. No, but I look at it from the perspective that she was a nanny so even though she can afford a phalanx of her own nannies, she appears to be the type to keep her kids close. Husband travels a lot. It is hard to drag the kids around, so they are isolated from each other. Tough no matter what or how much you have, at least to some degree.

Cadillac? That is very suspicious. The last time I saw him, he was sponsoring Buick vans!

There's more than one tiger in the family.;-) All I can say is, "You go gurl" opening a can of Swedish mean-ass on him. He probabby popped off at her, with the whole "I'm Tiger Woods and you are lucky and what if I did cheat" and she was all, "Let me show you how the golf balls feel" and he ran like a little gurl.

so bad, but still so funny

I know.......:funn:I'm not meaning to make fun of domestic violence in any way, but no one that I know ever lunged for her husbands face and chased him outside with a golf club because he said, "I love you honey and you are the only one." You know he said something that put her over the top or did something to her that made her snap imho.....

Ok, maybe NOW I get it!

As a disclaimer (as often needed on this board ;-)), none of us are making light of domestic abuse.

It is serious, we are all sympathic to her and the children, but every women that has ever been cheated on, finds some irony in the fact she took a golf club to him. If mine ever cheated, I seriously doubt he would get the point if I hit him over the head with a box of cereal (Kelloggs). Kat said she would have to take a cast iron skillet to Doug.

We drove by the Tigger's lair on our way to lunch and started to take a photo of the many media taking photos of them coming and going. It made us think how one very foolish action causes so much change.

Do you think she consciously chosse the club, or was it just handy?

My guess is that Tiger has more than one set of clubs and has golf items everywhere.

Hell hath no fury Tiger! :angry:

Minnie, any other scoop? Since you know them, what is going on? Tiger denies the extramarital affair allegations, won't talk to police and has retained an atty.

Sounds fishy!

If she really wants to hurt him, she'll forego the golf club and go after him with an attorney and an accountant.

maybe she knocked him with the club he got in the car to escape further harm and became unconsious then hit the hydrant and tree. aren't swedish people normally non-violent?

"tigger". i can't believe you went rubberneckin.

We went to lunch with a friend of mine that lives in the area, wasn't much choice as there is only one road that goes by there, but to pass by the media campground, believe me I was not thrilled with the bumper to bumper traffic, almost made me late for lunch.

Lynnie, no new scoop, the Pro golf group is a tight group and they are respecting his privacy.

We did have some additional excitement, false bomb threat at the Magic Kingdom, security was very tight all day. We sat in another bumper to bumper situation as they checked each car.

i would've tried to avoid that whole area like the plague, but that's just me.

stay safe at disney.

Tigger - chuckle!

OMG, I just had a flashback! When I was getting married, future BIL's wife became furious in an argument they were having and went beserk with a baseball bat and took out every single solitary interior door in the house........while the house was listed in MLS! :funn: Talk about Hoppin' Mad!

Then, future MIL who wasn't crazy about DIL totally verbally abused her in the Family Christmas Newsletter!

fhp reports tiger had no shoes on at the accident site. he must have forgot them.

Hmmmmm. :scratch: Kobe special?

Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) -- A ring with a pink diamond the size of a chickpea sold last night for a record HK$83.5 million ($10.8 million) at a Hong Kong auction that was spurred by Chinese buying.

The 5-carat, so-called fancy-vivid gem set by London-based jeweler Graff Diamonds and given the second-highest rating of potentially flawless, broke the per-carat record for a diamond set in May with Hong Kong property tycoon Joseph Lau’s purchase of a 7.03-carat blue diamond in Geneva for 10.5 million Swiss francs ($10.5 million). A carat is a fifth of a gram.

The jewel went to a phone bidder who wrested it from the Chinese millionaire stock-investor tycoon Liu Yiqian and his wife Wang Wei who were bidding in the room. Auction host Christie’s International declined to confirm that the lot was bought by another mainland Chinese.
