Dispute Leads to Wrecked SUV and Some Bruised Feelings

Let's see. A prominent sports figure and his wife were having a shouting match in their home in an exclusive gated community at 2:00 a.m. No blows are exchanged but the room was blue with the torrid language. The wife wanted to know why the tabloids reported that he was having an affair. If it was not true, she says, they couldn't print it.

The sport hero argues that it is not true at all, tabloids always print lies, but eventually loses his temper and tells his out-of-control wife that he is leaving. He scrambles downstairs to the garage, still in his daytime clothing, as they have been arguing since they headed for bed and hadn't changed.

He climbs into his luxury SUV, hits the garage door opener and begins to back out. As he clears the garage, he sees his wife waiting on the long driveway with his Big Bertha golf club. He continues to back out, but she begins to strike the club at the SUVs windows. She manages to knock out the driver side rear window with the massive club. He stops, shocked that she could be this violent. This gives her time to get the other side and, after a few direct hits, knocks out the other rear window.

Truly fearing for his safety, the sports icon backs down the driveway faster, trying to get away. He misses the end of the driveway in his haste and caroms off a fire hydrant.

The truck still is operable, so he puts in in Drive and begins to head down the street looking back to see if his wife is chasing him. He oversteers, jumps the curb, and crashes into a neighbor's tree. He feels his face in pain before he passes out in the seat.

His wife, upon seeing the crash, now knows it has gone too far. She loves her husband and rushes to his side only to find the doors jammed. She remembers she is holding the golf club and batters the car until it gives up her husband. She pulls him from the car, lays him on the lawn and calls 911.

Well, it could have happened!

It is to bad that their dirty laundry has to be nationally publicized.

Yeah, a little suspicious that she ran out of the house (after hearing a crash) with a golf club in her hand! I heard that the Florida State Police have requested a search warrant for the medical records to see if the injuries Tiger was treated for were consistant with that type of car crash. I suspect that Tiger saved his wife a trip to jail for domestic abuse. If this is the case (and I doubt we'll ever know), at least Tiger had the sense to get out of there and not to retaliate.....
