Golfer Tiger Woods has been taken to a Florida hospital after being injured in a car wreck near his Windermere home early Friday, officials said.
The one-car accident occurred about 2:25 a.m., 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. He has been transported to Health Central Hospital, the statement said.
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.
Woods lives in Orange County with his wife, supermodel Elin Nordegren, and two children.
Woods has won 93 tournaments, 71 of those on the PGA Tour, including the 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005 Masters Tournaments, 1999, 2000, 2006 and 2007 PGA Championships, 2000, 2002, and 2008 U.S. Open Championships, and 2000, 2005 and 2006 Open Championships, according to his official Web site.

Yeah... I dunno, faker IMO.
I heard his airbags didn't deploy because of the low speed, thus giving him a more serious injury.
Edit: Wait apparently he's already out of the hospital.

They are supposed to deploy at alot lower speeds than 50 km/h

Ugh I can't mix cars and golf into a pun

I'm sorry, but doesn't that make it sound like his car some how took control and caused this to happen?

He [I]is[/I] part asian...
he struck a fire hydrant and then a tree wow what a hardcore motherfucking wreck
I hope he doesn't keep his golf clubs in the boot :/
More like a Birdie.
He should've used a better driver.
That's too bad about Tiger.
He just recovered from a pretty bad injury already, hopefully he's not too hurt to golf.
If he is, we're missing an amazing golfer.

You think it could have something to do with his drivers license?

He already has a video game with his name in it.
