Tiger Woods Had A Series Of Crashes

Tiger Woods was driving so erratically before his mysterious car crash that he careered into bushes and hedges, up two concrete curbs and swerved across a whole street before ploughing into a fire hydrant and a tree.

Nick Allen in Los Angeles 03 Dec 2009

The pinball trajectory of his Cadillac was revealed in a police sketch of the incident which shows the golfing superstar had a total of three collisions, not two as previously thought.

As he pulled out of his drive at 2.25am he mounted a concrete curb onto a grass verge. He then tried to turn left onto a road but went all the way across, up another curb and into some hedges.

The SUV then careered left across an oncoming lanes on to his neighbour's lawn where he hit the fire hydrant, before crossing the neighbour's drive and colliding with a tree. The bizarre series of collisions will raise further questions over what caused Woods to crash.

As he recovers from the wounds to his face and reputation the superstar golfer, is also facing a hefty hit to his wallet, being forced to renegotiate his prenuptial agreement, which could lead to his wife receiving a record breaking $300 million (£180 million) in any future divorce.

Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren, 29, are desperately trying to save their marriage and have been undergoing marriage counselling sessions several times daily at their home in Orlando, Florida. When the couple married on Oct. 5, 2004, in a wedding at the exclusive Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, Mrs Nordegren signed an agreement which staggered payments and was initially modest by A-list celebrity standards. It is said to have given her the right to $20 million (£12 million) after 10 years of marriage.

Doesn’t Ambien do this? That, and drunken driving I guess.

An iron imbalance will also do that.

A three iron to the temple will cause a severe imbalance, leading to erratic driving and sudden drowsiness.

Ambien, booze and a distraught wife wielding a three iron.

A rescue worker said he was literally snoring when they found him on the ground outside the SUV. I agree with your Ambien theory. If he had taken an Ambien 10 or 15 minutes before getting into a big argument with his wife, that would explain a lot of what transpired. Jack Daniels (or whatever) and a 3 iron just make the story more interesting.

Thats funny and I agree. A shot to the head with an iron can cause a mild concussion and confusion. I’d be running like hell also if an irate wife was after me with my own golf club..she did a job on the windows of the car also...could have been his head if he was not in the car....and could also cause death by blunt force trauma...

How do you know she's crazy?

It looks like Tiger's the crazy one.

Maybe the only place he can drive well is the golf course.

I'm still trying to figure out how the wife got there so soon. I'm starting to think she was in the Escalade with him. It's really hard to drive when a female passenger is whacking the driver with a driver, or so I've heard.

I wonder if seeing golf clubs is going to set off some sort of post-traumatic stress syndrome in him. The Golden Bear's record might be safe.

I am still wondering if she was using the correct grip.

When you discover your spouse has been with at least 3 women dozens of times I think you will go a little bit crazy

I would like to know how a newspaper from the UK got all of these private details..when nobody has even seen him and his wife. Counciling..negotiating, etc. Are they psychic?

"A shot to the head with an iron can cause a mild concussion and confusion"

My brother (a physician) suggested that if he'd really had been rendered unconscious with a blow to the head - either via a club, or by striking his head in the car - they wouldn't have treated and released him so quickly. He thought it much more likely that his "confused state" was caused by some kind of medication - prescription or otherwise.
