Tiger Woods News :

ACE GOLFER Tiger Woods sustained facial cuts in a minor car accident on early Friday, November 27 at 2:25 AM, when his SUV was hit a fire hydrant and crashed into a neighbour's tree as he was leaving his mansion in a gated waterfront community near Orlando, Florida. He was treated and released from a hospital in good condition, according to his spokesman.

The Florida Highway Patrol said alcohol was not involved, although the accident remains under investigation and charges could be filed. Woods was alone in his 2009 Cadillac, when he pulled out of his driveway from his mansion at Isleworth, the patrol said.

Woods, coming off a two-week trip to China and Australia earlier this month, is host of the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif. , which starts from Thursday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said tapes of the 911 call won't be released until they can be reviewed, probably Monday at the earliest. The accident report was not released until nearly 12 hours after Woods was injured.

Woods is approaching $100 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour, and Forbes magazine reported that combined with endorsements, appearance fees and golf course design, he has become the first athlete to top $1 billion.

Woods, has won 82 times around the world and six times this year, after missing eight months recovering from re-constructive surgery on his left knee.
