As you know by now golfing superstar Tiger Woods was involved in a single-car crash when his Cadillac Escalade hit a fire hydrant and tree in the early hours of Friday morning. Initial reports suggested that Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, saved the superstar by smashing the back window of his vehicle with a gold club.
However reports have since emerged that the couple were fighting prior to the accident which is far more believable than the previous scenario, because um..doors? TMZ reports that a heated exchange took place whereby Nordegren scratced Woods’ face and Woods told Nordegren “You’ve ruined our Thanksgiving! Are you happy now?”. Apparently she wasn’t. Woods then attempted to flee but not before Nordegre got medieval on the back windows – which may or may not have caused the crash.
After the crash Woods was treated at a local Hospital where he was in a “serious condition”.
OK is this not the craziest shit ever? We can all accept that sport stars are fallible human beings (see Kobe Bryant’s infidelities or Michael Phelps’ bong hits) but Tiger Woods is in a whole other league (that’s called a sports metaphor). He’s not just a sports star he’s an icon and though crashing your car because your batshit crazy wife was chasing you with a gold club because you may have had sexy times with a self confessed celebrity dater isn’t really that bad – because Woods is so damn squeaky clean, any perceived weakness in his personality is media manna.
Anyway here are the latest developments in Tigergate:
Woods has released a statement (via his website) asking for privacy during this time and vaguely explaining his side of the story… Not gonna happen dude!
Image gurus implore Woods to go public and explain the exact circumstances of his accident.
