Tiger Woods Accident Update: Wife Rumored to Have Beat Woods with Golf Club (Video)

November 28th, 2009 by Wendy

And now for a Tiger Woods accident update… the rumors are really swirling, aren’t they? Buzz about Tiger Woods having an affair and a fight between he and his wife, Elin Nordegren have been running rampant, and now TMZ.com is reporting that Tiger Woods’ wife beat him, then chased him down with a golf club.

But what to believe?

According to TMZ.com, Tiger Woods told a non-law enforcement related party that it was his wife, Elin Nordegren, that gave him the facial lacerations – and not the car accident.

The fight is rumored to have happened when Elin confronted him about the rumored cheating, chasing him out of the home with a golf club.

Nordegren hit his car with the golf club, distracting Woods… and causing him to crash.

Tiger and Elin have been married since October 2004.

Just a brief courtesy note to protect your reputation: the grammar in the Tiger Woods Update article needs an adjustment.

“Tiger Woods having an affair and a fight between he and his wife, Elin Nordegren . . . .” Grammatically, it should be “between HIM and his wife, not “he” and his wife.

If his wife broke out the rear window are there traces of glass in his driveway or only at the scene of the accident ? If glass was found in the driveway then she obviously was after him BEFORE the crash… Why did the neighbor call 911 and say he was laying on the ground when the wife supposedly ran up and said on the tape “what happened?”…did she drag him out a second time ? He was already on the ground BEFORE she ran up and asked what occurred…

It seems clear that Woods will never reveal what really happened that night. But you have to suspend common sense to believe that his wife could have extracted him from the car through a broken rear window. He’s over 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds. This was a domestic dispute. She chased him when he was leaving and banged on the car breaking the window, distracting Woods and leading to the accident. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck…

I think that his wife heard “the” rumors and confronted him for some answers. He told her the truth, she picked up the obvious, a golf club and smacked him with it. She told him to hit the road……..not a tree!

Once you are a public entity, which you worked SO hard to become, you cannot instantly transform back into a private person when a mishap occurs. However little the accident may in reality be, it’s too late now to redeem the situation. The public has already seen that Mr. Woods will not cooperate with law enforcement in the same manner that the average person would be required to and he has, sadly, revealed his ego to be what I thought it was : Large, but without true stature.

How did she get him out of the car? She dragged him out through the back window? That would require a good deal of strength, which I doubt she possess. Did she climb in through the broken window? If so, she probably would have gotten numerous cuts from all the broken glass around. Why was he unconscious? From a collision that did not even set off the airbags? I doubt it. Sorry, but the circumstances surrounding this are really fishy.

Janie,

The average person would not be required to answer questions anymore than Tiger Woods. If he is under investigation, I suspect it would only be for careless driving, a civil offense. However, I doubt that he is concerned about that. His reluctance to speak to law enforcement is probably motivated by a desire to protect his wife from spousal abuse charges. It seems clear who was wielding the golf club. Law enforcement has become quite sensitive in recent years in pursuing domestic violence cases. I suspect that they are determined not to let a high profile case trump their normal responsibilities.

janie, you said, “The public has already seen that Mr. Woods will not cooperate with law enforcement in the same manner that the average person would be required to”. Actually, the average person would not be required to make a statement to police. You may not like Mr. Woods, but I disagree with you. I do like him. And I don’t believe just because someone is a celebrity, we the public have any right to know everything about their private lives. He’s just a person like you or I. This fixation our society has on rumor and sensationalism is childish. Let the man alone. It’s none of our business.

… this is bull, by looking at the photos (googled: tiger woods accident) it’s exactly what she said she did… there’s window fragments on the floor (and there’d be more on the other side of the window).. and to make that big of a hole in the window, obviously she can’t chase the car and hit it cuz it’ll take a great deal of strength…

unless she chucked a rock at the window… XD and then did what she said

He effed around like crazy before he was married, why would he ever stop? She probably did loose her mind temporarily and went after him with a golf club… and who wouldn’t? If she didn’t love him and was in it for the money (like that hooker he was shagging) – she would never react like that. What is he going to say though?! She is the mother of his children and he hurt so badly, so, is he going to blame her for the accident and get her in trouble with police or keep his trap shut…

Many of you are being very inmature regarding this tragic event. The questions we should be asking are: What was her club selection? Did she open the club face and use proper grip?

I am not one for domestic abuse but, I know if I caught or found out that my husband was cheating on me, he had better hope that there isn’t anything within reach (like golf clubs) that I can swing at him! I am not saying that it is right but, I am saying that the shock and anger would over take anyone. I know I would loose it!

Tiger Woods and his parents were really close
so I wonder what his Mother’s take is on all of
this. A mother would have some words to say
if a daughter-in-law bashed in her son’s head.

Now the only other option to this situation is if he
is on pain killers since his knee surgery and this
caused the black out that caused the accident but
then why would she run out with a golf club when
she heard the accident…unless she was already
out there where the car hit the tree. They should
check the golf club to see if his blood is on it.

@ A. Winners– the grammar in the brief article needs no corrections. Go hide under a rock and suffocate yourself if you are bored.

Secondly, the real story as to what happened to Mr. Woods is as follows:

One day, he told his wife that he was going to play golf, so his wife turned on his tv to watch him play.. When she realized he was lying, she asked him when he got home how the game was. When he said he won and played well, she asked to see the lucky club. He showed her one and said “this is it honey.” She then took the club and wacked him in the face. She meant to hit him in the head, but his lips and teeth got in the way. He ran for his life and tried to drive off. He sped off and got as far as the next hydrant. He then took off again, drove another 2 feet, and smashed a tree. When his wife went out to see what all the noise was, she realized it was him. She then grabbed one of his other clubs and smashed his window in, while singing. She dragged him out of the car and wacked him again. When the cops came, she told them he got into an accident and she broke the window to get him out of the car because the doors were locked. When asked why she didn’t use the keys, she hit the officer in the mouth, and ran to Idaho.

No one has mentioned how, even if she could move a 200 lb. man, that it would be truly impossible for her to somehow lift him up over probably two rows of seat backs in that SUV to get out the back doors, after she broke the windows. Nothing about the story makes any sense at all, except that she teed off on him.

No, the story doesn’t make sense, but what if what you all are saying is true?? SO WHAT??!! It’s their business! Pay attention to what you’ve got going on instead of getting into someone else’s business….cheating is a horrible thing, but that’s what people do. It’s wrong, but who are you to judge??!! GET A LIFE!!

Hell Hath No Fury – Like A Viking Scorned

Was Tiger perhaps trying to take flight
when he jumped into his car in the middle of the night?
How else to explain his behaviour manic
as he stepped on the gas in a state of panic.

Did he think he was hitting the tee
when he bashed his car into a tree?
Was he trying to practice a putting shot
when he walloped an immovable water spigot?

We have to imagine he was hurrying to avoid being berated
by someone who was a little bit irritated
Had he perhaps done something he should not
and in his peccadillo had just been caught?
.
If he had bothered to study some Scandinavian history
Elin’s behaviour should have been no mystery
for Vikings tend to react quite strongly
when they think they have been treated wrongly.

We have many examples of what happens when their ire
can lead to consequences best described as dire.
So he should be careful when next temped to push her over the edge
or she might come after him wielding his very best wedge.

At least we know now what to give a bride
when about a gift for her shower we must decide.
If we cannot find a nice silver dish for butter
we can always present a weighted putter.

Hmmn… Maybe it’s as innocent as Tiger just trying to get a head start on the busy shopping of Black Friday (tongue in cheek). He was going to the pawn shop early to buy a “Kobe Special” (house on a finger). Tiger’s wife Elin gave him a short shrift regarding the National Enquirer story about so called lover Rachel Uchitel. Tiger headed out the house with a scone in his glove compartment and coffee cup attached to the driver window (big mistake). Tiger had planned on camping out and sleeping in his Cadillac Escalade while waiting for the pawn shop to open. Unfortunately, shortly after leaving the driveway, Tiger ran over one of his golf clubs that accidentally fell out of his Escalade the day before. The club popped up and jammed into the left wheel assembly and caused the car to violently swerve to the left and spilled the coffee on Tiger’s eyes. Tiger swerved to the right to compensate– hitting the hydrant and consequently the tree. Yeah, right.

I don’t feel sorry for Tiger Woods, he is just another over-paid sportsman. Ok, so the kid can hit a golf ball like no-one else, but does that make him a saint? I think some people are being too soft on Tiger, if he has cheated on his wife and betrayed his family then he deserves a bit of bad publicity. It seems that most of the sports blogs listed online at the sports index Dozensports.com are being too nice. Why can’t we say bad stuff about Tiger?

The Revenge of the Stepford Wives

By Phil Linehan

When Eliot Spitzer was forced on tv to own up to his disgrace
can anyone forget wife Silda’s stricken face?
John Edwards, when caught out in his affair
about ailing wife Elizabeth seemed not to care.

We all know that Newt Gingrich’s marital story
is not one that covers him in glory.
Has it not always seemed quite absurd
that from their long-suffering spouses never heard is a word?

Then, pining to be close to one he calls his soul mate,
Governor Mark Sanford moved the Appalachian mountains to the River Plate.
It never occurred to him wife Jenny would get up and go
forgetting, perhaps, that she is the one who has the dough.

When we hear about this and that humiliated wife
do we not all hope one day one of them will pull a knife?
But wait! They finally found their defender
and the result was a spectacular fender-bender.

Does Tiger really think his irresistible charms
are what make women throw themselves into his arms?
Has he never wondered about his greatest attraction,
the one that gets him all the action?

Even his most ardent admirers would have to admit
that he lacks the appeal of Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt.
It boggles the mind to imagine any woman becoming swooney
over a guy who is the very opposite of dishy George Clooney.

Tiger will have to accept that his place among the much pursued heroes
is simply because his bank account is loaded with zeros.
When the next wife feels the urge to wallop her lying and cheating man
she should be sure to have at hand an old fashioned cast iron frying pan.

It is unforunate to have happened, but i really feel it is between his wife and him, i do not believe he had an affair with all the women that is coming out of the wood work. and if the women that are coming out , they are tramps any way, they knew he was married. i hope the best for his family.
give them time to heal, if it can be healed.

I betcha all sorts of men put up with abuse, yet our system doesn’t see it as abuse because women are seen as victims most of the time.
