(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 will take an indefinite break from golf, says his website and reported on NBC News tonight. Really so sad that someone so intelligent and talented could be so stupid to risk everything for a little "skank."

I think the unofficial count is up to 11, BR. That's a whole lotta "skank"

IMO 9+ mistresses and an escort service on your payroll is much more than "a little skank".
And it's a sad fact that while being an adulterer hurts your endorsements in the short run, there are a lot of rapists, man whores, adulterers, and convicted criminals raking in millions in the sports world.

Tiger Woods' Family and Reputation Injured in Car Crash
"good things come to good people"....so the saying goes. Tiger will get his due. I feel sorry for his wife, and children, but not for Tiger. People make "mistakes"...but if it is 12 (and counting) times, no matter how much fame and fortune they possess, they deserve their fate. I think he epitomizes greed, self-importance, and complete indifference to that which is decent.

What is mind blowing to me is he never used condoms.
WTF????
He's an idiot & as Mr. JR just said, he effed up. He could've been the greatest sports figure of all time.
I agree with happy2Bme: what goes around, comes around.

We're all getting a little laugh at Tiger's "skank" as Beach Runner calls it but there is a very serious question that remains to be answered. Who got more skank, Tiger or Wilt Chamberlain?

Funny how times have changed. This sort of behavior actually actually served to create the legend of the greatest sports figure of all time, Babe Ruth.

:nono1: I thought about his dad who just died last year. His dad had devoted his entire life to Tiger, who started playing golf while practically a toddler. Bet his mama's not happy!

Yes, twice. He "flaunted his "adultery shamelessly". He separated from his first wife due to him cheating. She later died in a fire and he remarried. Read "Baseball Babylon".

Gillette gives a very commendable and supportive 'kiss off;' Accenture, not so much.

Per the supermarket tabloid we saw today there is a love child (given the sheer numbers and lack of contraceptives figured that one was overdue) and a sex tape too! ;-)

I don't understand how tiger kept all this from the media for so long. very bizarre. the story just keeps unfolding and now its almost laughable. but not quite.

Corporations and $$.
The Nat'l Enquirer would have broken the story years ago if it wasn't quashed by the parent company who wanted Tiger on a magazine cover to boost circulation.
Canoehead said it was well known in the PGA. (She knows all the dirt.)

OK, I'll admit it. I feel totally duped by Tiger. Not because his personal life is any of my business(it's so not) although I would argue that privacy is the cost of fame, I feel duped because I always thought this guy was a clean-cut, family guy. I so got him wrong.

Reaally??. I assume most professional athletes are out messing around and that they consider it to be one of the perks. As for Tiger I think it's written all over him. No surprises here at all.

I am so with you on this.
Honestly, when I heard about the 2:30 a.m. crash, I thought there HAD to be a good explanation, like he had to go to WalMart or out for ice cream for Elin or something.
I thought, at worst, it was Ambien sleepdriving.And then up until a couple of days ago I was analyzing his behavior, saying to myself that it is his way of dealing with the pressure, and (maybe this is a stretch) the fact that none of his women are either black or Asian is a sign of self-loathing, and that he needs help and Elin may as well just walk and let him pick up the pieces from his tortured existence, without which, by the way, he would have never rung up 14 majors because that is part of the package.
But THEN ... THEN I hear that he is a notoriously bad tipper. And often rude to "the help" when he is out and about. There have been many reported incidences of this over the years.
So, it turns out he is just a bad guy. And now dead to me.
Barry Bonds anyone?

I just always found him to be a little nerdy and didn't think of him as a player.
