So, what did Tiger do?

The ESPN ticker says:

Tiger backed out of his driveway and accidentally hit a fire hydrant and a tree. His wife heard the accident and used a golf club to smash the rear window to extract him from the vehicle. He was found laying in the street with cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth, drifting in and out of consciousness. Police don't believe alcohol was involved.

Uh huh, sounds like the wife caught him doing something wrong, cracked him with a golf club, and chased him down the driveway smashing the rear window and leaving him drifting in and out of consciousness on the street after he crashed while trying to escape.

Or at least it is more amusing my way.

I was just talking with my dad about this and said almost the exact same thing. There was a story going around recently about Tiger cheating on the Mrs. and I would not be terribly surprised if these events turned out to be related .

When I first heard about this (on CNN today, who at one point reported him dead) my mind immediately put together 2am Thanksgiving night + rich guy in car + single car incident + 100 feet from his own driveway = drinky drinky.

But Tiger does seem like the kind of guy who might take his fitness a little seriously, and doesn't seem like the glug glug, vroom vroom, crash crash type. I could totally believe that Mrs. Tiger found out that his ballwasher wasn't that thing on the golf course just outside the clubhouse, though. And I can totally see her going all viking princess on him.

My wife theorized the same thing not 10 seconds before I clicked on this thread.

The Escalade's got four doors; five if you count the rear lifegate. So smashing through a fire hydrant, at less than 33 MPH, jammed all five of those doors shut? And the only window to smash and pull him through was the one farthest away from him?

And am I reading it weird, but if he was found lying on the street, why the hell did they have to extract him from the vehicle? You don't extract people from things they are no longer in.

He was puttin' where he shouldn't....

Jam's doors without deploying airbags apparently

didn't he crash into the firehydrant and then the tree? i thought there was a tree involved.

Oh yeah. But even with the tree, I still don't see that making it less fishy. Supposing he hit a weird-shaped tree and jammed all the doors, why pull him through the farthest window? And having to extract him from a vehicle, after finding him outside the vehicle (?) Unless they mean the paramedics found him on the street, after his wife pulled him from the vehicle. Ah I don't know. Sounds weird is all.

Alls I knows is, it looks like I finally outdrove tiger.

Now we all just have to wait until the OnStar transcript is released.....

OS: This is OnStar how can we help you?

TW: It's my wife she is after me with a golf club!

OS: We show your location as being in your driveway, is that correct?

TW: Yes - help! Do Something! Get me out of here!

OS: Sit tight sir, we will back your vehicle out of your driveway via sattelite control.

TW: Ouch!

OS: 911 this is OnStar, we have sensed an accident, no airbags deployed at....

He did just come back from the Fart East didn't he????????

Dear Tiger..

Stop dipping your tail into forbidden places...

Sincerely..

The management.

Yep, my first thought was 'BUSTED!' Both for steppin' out and upside the head.

If he's going to cheat on his wife, he should at least try to find Kim Hiott (check for photos on less respectable forums than this one).

Dude just wanted some Skittles.

Tiger doesn't drive a Buick? For what they pay him, they coulda re-badged an Escalade just for him.

What brand and size was the club, and how much do you think it'll fetch on eBay once it gets out of the evidence room? For that matter, how about the broken fire hydrant?

I'd be willing to bet that it was Phil Mickelson dressed as Tiger's wife.

Apparently he wasn't swerving to avoid a squirrel.

Did they say it was 2:45 AM ?

Might it be possible that he expressed an intention to PIITB?

Buick (GM) fired him earlier this year - well, fired may be strong but discontinued his endorsement contract, citing budget cutbacks and the gov't bailout.
