Tiger Woods with wife who pulled him to safety

First reported as serious, now downgraded to minor, nevertheless there is some mystery surrounding Tiger Woods’ car crash in the early hours of yesterday morning.

First of all, how does a man who drinks very little, if at all, crash into a fire hydrant then a tree outside his own home? Surely he knows where they are?

Secondly, how does this statement from the Central Health Hospital and Woods’ own people:

“Tiger Woods was in a minor car accident outside his home.

“He was admitted, treated and released in good condition.”

…tally with this report from local Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor:

“Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips and blood in his mouth. He was mumbling, but didn’t say anything coherent.”

You also have to question why Woods’ wife had to use a golf club to smash the rear window of the car to drag him out and why it was 12 hours before news of the incident made the public domain. This last, at least, could be down purely to Woods’ desire for privacy.

We’re not one for idle speculation and conspiracy theories but there are questions here that should at least be asked, even if they are never answered by Tiger Woods. Sporting Fare does respect his right to privacy – but we can wonder, right? Drugs? Unlikely. Alcohol? Apparently not. Health issue such as epilepsy or similar? Possible. We can’t imagine there wasn’t something involved.

Got a theory of your own? Know more than we do? Let us know in the comments, we’re intrigued.
