Tiger Woods’s injuries caused by wife in fight over another woman

(Note: Below the selected comments from Lucianne.com, see VFR readers’ comments.)

Last night or this morning I read the story about Eldrick “Tiger” Woods’s car accident and it did didn’t make sense. This big crash occurred and he had all these injuries, just from driving out of his driveway? And at 2 a.m.? And his wife had to use a golf club to break open a window to rescue him from the car?

Then I received this from reader Ben W.:

Tiger Woods: Injuries Caused by Wife, Not SUV
Nov 28th 2009 by TMZ Staff

Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren—according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident.

Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol—that should happen this afternoon. But we’re told Tiger had a conversation Friday—with a non-law enforcement type—detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We’re told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We’re told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV—but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

We’re told Woods became “distracted,” thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

We’re also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.

Tiger! Tiger! Taking Flight
In the Forests of the Night
Did your Elin’s fingernails
Scratch thy philandering symmetry?

At least the NY Daily News reporter did not describe him as “laying” in the street, like the illiterate from the Associated Press.

Whacked with a golf club. How much more ironic could it get?

Would that be considered hate crime?

This is just speculation … It was after 2 in the morning … did Tiger just get home? Or were they just fighting in the middle of trhe night?

When the police were so adamant about no alcohol being involved and the accident happened at 2.25 AM the only reasonable explanation remaining was a domestic dispute, somebody trying to get the hell out of dodge. Good to see he sometimes chokes under pressure like everyone else.

#22—I haven’t. And the point is that rich or poor, interracial ‘marriages’ or even couplings rarely work. The media provides us with all the anecedotal evidence we need. Now go to the schools and check out all the interracial kids living on welfare with their white moms—or white grandparents—Can U say Obama?—with no father or stable male figure in their lives.

Miscegenation hasn’t done our culture any favors. What good to society is even a three-racial-way Tiger Woods if he’s going to end up a cheating husband to his wife?

I missed the jury coming back and the judge pronouncing sentence. Congratulations on your successful marriage. Suggest you spend a vacation in Europe, where there are MANY successful interracial marriages, as there are here in the USA. Let go of your judgement until we know the facts, please.

if tiger had scratched “her” face he would be in jail. hell, if he had even threatened to scratch her face, he would be in jail. hell, if she had told the police that she “thought” he “might” scratch here face he would be in jail. the reasons wouldn’t matter either, he would be in jail. double standards. you can bet they’re history. she will be the richest chick in florida, move back to europe with the kids and the beat goes on. ain’t love a beautiful thang?

JLoophole nails it. Nobody in the history of sport has cultivated an image the way Tiger has. This incident blows that image for all time. It is a huge embarrassment he’ll have to deal with the rest of his career. And it will be interesting to see how this extremely controlled and controlling man handles himself from now on.

I’m with #30. I’d have a better feeling about postings here if there were no speculations and judgments about this family’s private life.

With that said, #6 you set the right tone. I’m still laughing. Also yesterday’s poster who said: “Woods should have used a different driver.”

I remember that Tiger’s father said that the only thing that could stop Tiger from being the greatest ever would be a woman.

Imagine that, a billionaire living in a mere $2.4 million home. Maybe that’s the problem with the wife——he’s too frugal to give her spending money.

I’m sure this was all “random.”

The Woods entourage is planning what to say given what’s at stake here:

The mystery over Tiger Woods’ car crash intensified Saturday when his agent called state troopers on their way to Woods’ house and asked them to wait another day before speaking to him.

It was the second straight day Woods was unavailable to talk. His wife told troopers on Friday afternoon, after the world’s No. 1 golfer had been treated and released from a hospital, that he was sleeping and asked that they return Saturday.

James N. writes:

It’s premature to speculate about Mr. Woods’s sex life—except that inferring sexual jealousy in a wife, after her husband’s name is plastered all over pictures of an artificially enhanced hosebag, is probably reasonable.

I assume that if Mrs. Woods’s good name were associated with some gigolo in a public manner, and Mr. Woods in a fit of sexual jealousy beat her with a golf club until she was unconscious, he would be arrested and his actions would be called “domestic violence.”

Why hasn’t Mrs. Woods been arrested? Why hasn’t the phrase “domestic violence” been invoked? Why do posters in all internet fora cheer her on, with “Atta girl! I’d do the same thing!”?

Is domestic violence something that can only be committed by men? Is revenge motivated by sexual jealousy something only women can do?

We shall see.

LA replies:

I recommend to readers James N’s comments last May about how what is called “domestic violence” is really sexual jealousy.

Questions raised from reading excellent article at Golf Magazine:

Why did Tiger’s wife run to the car with a golf club in her hands? Wouldn’t a spare set of car keys open the door?

Was Tiger driving fast away from the house because he was trying to get away from an enraged woman who had a weapon in her hand?

Or was he trying to get to a hospital fast because he was bleeding from scratches and bruises on his face?

Or both?

Isn’t it obvious? Tiger was headed to WalMart looking for Black Friday bargains!

Lance Armstrong dumped his wife—all she did was nurse him through cancer—for some starlet or other; I forget whom. He’s still very very marketable; no one seems to care. I’ve written you before how these things drive me crazy. I suppose if one of these sports, political, or entertainment celebrities appeared on TV molesting a cub scout and eating a puppy, the public might disapprove.

Maybe they’re country music fans. Specifically Carrie Underwood:

I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats

Here’s the whole song. Tell me that these kinds of songs don’t engender this kind of behavior.

Before He Cheats

Songwriters: Tompkins, Chris; Kear, Josh;

Right now he’s probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she’s probably getting frisky
Right now, he’s probably buying
Her some fruity little drink
‘Cause she can’t shoot whiskey

Right now, he’s probably up behind her
With a pool stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo
And he don’t know

I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats

Right now, she’s probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she’s probably saying, “I’m drunk”
And he’s a thinking that he’s gonna get lucky

Right now, he’s probably dabbing on three dollars
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh and he don’t know

That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats

I might’ve saved a little trouble for the next girl
‘Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won’t be on me!
No, not on me

‘Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats
Oh, maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats
Oh

Thanks for posting the hyperlink to the related VFR discussion from May, “Why the female sex has lost its mind.” Though lengthy, it’s well worth the time invested in the read (well, at least what I’ve managed to read so far). I’ve learned that when you recommend related VFR discussions from days gone by, it’s generally worth the effort to check it out. I had somehow missed this discussion.

Now if you’ll pardon me I have some more reading to do.

Thank you. I thought it was one of our best.
