Tiger Woods may not be out of the woods so to speak yet. Rumors have been flying about an affair, marital fighting, accidents and now dropping out of tournament. Bad week for Tiger.

California v Stanford

Police investigating Tiger Woods’ mysterious late night car crash are believed to be applying for a search warrant to allow them to obtain his medical records. The police seem to have requested information from Woods and his wife several times without success. Although legally they don’t have to provide details, it has been noted to be highly unusual. Now, word has come out that Tigger has dropped out of his own tournament.

Officers from the Florida Highway Patrol want to establish whether Woods’ facial injuries were caused by the incident, in which he hit a fire hydrant and a tree outside his mansion at 2am, or a domestic violence incident.

Last night two officers were seen visiting Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Florida, where Woods was treated following the accident on Friday.

Police also want to see if the moments leading up to the crash was captured by security cameras at Woods’ £1.5 million mansion in a gated community in Orlando, Florida.

Woods, 33, the world’s number one golfer, and his wife Elin Nordegren, 29, have declined three times to speak to patrol officers about the crash.

They are under no legal obligation to do so but their decision has been described as “unusual” by police and led to a swirl of speculation about the circumstances of the crash.

A Florida police source said: “There is a feeling that the police are being made to look foolish in this matter.

“They have tried to be accommodating but it has been thrown back in their face. Tiger has refused to help on three occasions. We’re being given the runaround.”

Mrs Nordegren, a former Swedish model, told officers at the scene that she heard the crash, then went outside and smashed a window on the £35,000 Cadillac Escalade with a golf club to gain access, before dragging her husband to safety.

Woods subsequently praised his wife for “courageously” coming to his rescue and has dismissed a flood of media speculation about the crash as “false, unfounded and malicious rumors.”

He was reacting to reports that his wife had confronted him over claims in a tabloid newspaper that he had been seeing a New York party organizer, Rachel Uchitel, 34.

Miss Uchitel has vehemently denied any romantic link to Woods and, after being besieged by the media at her New York home, flew to Los Angeles where she hired a high profile lawyer to counter the allegations.

Much of the unofficial version of events surrounding the crash that has played out in recent days has emanated from TMZ, the celebrity website that first revealed the death of Michael Jackson.

It said Woods’ face was scratched by his wife and that, as he drove off, she chased his car down the drive.

However, Woods later took responsibility for the crash, saying in a statement: “This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way.” His agent Mark Steinberg said the golfer does not plan to meet with police about the crash in the future.

This car crash follows a weekend of speculation and gossip as to the state of Tiger Woods’ marriage after reports surfaced of a possible affair.
