Tiger Woods is making headlines once again, but this time the #1 golfer is in the hot seat.

According to reports, investigators suspected Tiger Woods was under the influence of alcohol when he crashed his SUV outside his Isleworth home. An attempt to collect medical evidence was denied by the Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office, according to a law enforcement, document due to lack of evidence.

Tiger Woods Smashed Car

How It All Began?

Tiger Woods very public ordeal began at around 2:25 a.m. on November 27, 2009, the day after Thanksgiving, when he drove his Cadillac Escalade into a hydrant and then into a neighbor’s tree.

Woods was rushed to Health Central hospital in Ocoee with injuries trooper described as “incapacitating.” He was treated and released the same day, according to reports.

An unnamed witness told trooper Woods had been drunk prior to the accident. The witness also stated that Tiger Woods had been prescribed Ambien, a drug used to treat insomnia, and Vicodin, a painkiller. The same report also said that the witness was the one who pulled Woods out of his SUV.

More To Car Crash Than First Reported

Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren Woods has also been identified in other reports as the person who pulled the golfer from the vehicle. She told the police that she broke open a window with a golf club when she saw that her husband was bleeding and in pain, she then dragged him out of the SUV to safety. However, Tabloid reports blamed the crash on a quarrel they said Woods, 33 had with his wife Elin, 29, after the National Enquirer reported the golfer had an affair with club hostess Rachel Uchitel, 34, and Jamie Grubbs, 24 a Los Angeles cocktail waitress.

WFTV- Channel 9’s Eyewitness News reported Thursday night that the alleged mistresses could just be the tip of the iceberg for Woods.

What Did Police Find At The Scene

According to reports, a police officer who was at the scene of the accident outside Tiger Woods Florida home, found the golfer unresponsive and lying on the road covered in a blanket and resting his head on a pillow. His SUV engine was still running, the front passenger door was jammed and both rear door windows were broken out. The two golf clubs were next to a golf cart, which also was in the road, the report said.

Neither Woods nor his wife made any comments about the accident. However, last week Woods issued a statement saying he had let his family down and that he regrets it with all of his heart, but he did not elaborate any further.

Tiger Woods Last Update on Drunk Driving Case

Tiger Woods was ticketed for careless driving on Dec. 1. He paid a $164 fine and received four points against his license but FHP decided not to pursue a criminal case against the famous golfer.

The Florida Highway Patrol closed its inquiry into the Nov. 27 crash last week, after fining the golfer $164. Woods was cited for careless driving.

Inquiring minds want to know, was Tiger Woods drunk on the night he crashed into a tree? Or was this a domestic violence cover-up? What do you think?

    I agree that the image we all have of Tiger is a good guy. I hope that is what is real, and not just perceived. I was married to a psychopath for 14 yrs. People that saw him daily would swear on their lives he was the nicest guy you

    I have read that Tiger was addmited to the hospital as a drug overdose case. True ? How was there insufficient evidence to get medical evidence from the hospital ? Is the state attorney an elected office…Did Tiger make any political contrutions to the current attorney’s election campaign?

    Thanks everyone for showing interest and leaving your insight on Tiger Woods drunk driving.

    @ mark mathis: Actually yes, and he even drove his Cadillac Escalade into a hydrant and then into a neighbor’s tree as well. But I have no clue about any political association in this regard though.

    Are your facts straight? I am not trying to be a jerk, conversely I don’t perceive how this makes total sense!

    Great post! I’m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it’s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.
