Subject: Golf star Tiger Woods 'injured in car accident'

Written By: Philip Eno on 11/27/09 at 2:30 pm

Golfer Tiger Woods is in a serious condition after being involved in a car accident in Florida, according to US unconfirmed media reports.

The golfer's car reportedly struck a fire hydrant and tree as he pulled out of the driveway of his home.

Associated Press news agency, quoting the Florida Highway Patrol, says an inquiry into the crash is under way.

Woods, 33, was taken to Health Central Hospital, local reports said, but the hospital has not confirmed this.

The story was reported by the Orlando Sentinel newspaper, which also cited the Florida Highway Patrol.

An official was quoted as saying the accident was not alcohol related.

The airbags in the car did not deploy during the crash, the reports said, which would suggest a low speed of impact.

Woods owns a property in the suburb of Isleworth, an exclusive area near Orlando.

BBC Golf correspondent Ian Carter says the golf world is in a great deal of shock at the news of the accident.

Currently the world number one, Woods has won 14 major titles.

But after his last title, the US Open, in 2008, he disappeared from view to undergo reconstructive knee surgery. He has since made a triumphant comeback on the US professional circuit.

He is known for his strong desire for privacy, preferring to comment in public only on his sport, our correspondent adds.

He has become an international sporting icon since winning his first major in 1997 at the age of 21.

From CNN

(CNN) -- Golfer Tiger Woods was taken to a Florida hospital after suffering facial injuries in a car crash early Friday, police 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.

A statement from Woods' publicist and Health Central Hospital called the accident "minor," and said Woods was "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."

From Jesper Parnevik, pro golfer

A few days ago, we told you how in 2001, golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife introduced their nanny, Elin Nordegren, to an up-and-coming young go-getter by the name of Tiger Woods. With all the revelations of late, seems Jesper isn't particularly happy with how Tiger has handled his marriage.

"I feel really sorry for Elin," he told The Golf Channel on Wednesday. "I would be especially sad about it since I'm kind of ... I really feel sorry for Elin, since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him. We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron."

Golf star Tiger Woods has released a statement on his website apologising to his family, amid continuing speculation about his private life following a car crash last week.

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves.
I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behaviour and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realise the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives.

The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realise there are some who don't share my view on that.

But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."

This whole thing makes me vomit.  He should not have been coerced into this public apology crap, and what is with people that they think he owes them an apology?  He owes his wife, he owes his family, that is all.  The other women...he doesn't owe them sheeshe and I would say their tears are more for the money he was shelling out on them, and the hopes that a nice settlement could come their way. They knew what they were getting into.  There are a lot of people in this world who owe the public an apology, media stars are at the bottom of the list.
