Tiger Woods has reportedly left hospital after being involved in a car accident.

The golfer's vehicle allegedly hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway in Florida. An inquiry is being held into the crash. Local news outlets said that Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital.

The reports also stated that alcohol was not involved in the incident. The motor's airbags did not go off, which suggests that it was travelling at less than 33mph.

Although Woods's condition was initially said to be "serious", the local mayor has now apparently claimed that the star suffered cuts to his face and has left hospital.

The story was first reported in the Orlando Sentinel, which quoted the Florida Highway Patrol.

Tiger Woods is reportedly in a "good condition" following his earlier car crash.

The golfer was taken to hospital after crashing his vehicle into a fire hydrant and a tree in the early hours of this morning.

Initial reports claimed that Woods had "serious" injuries, but it has now been confirmed that he has left hospital after being treated for cuts on his face.

In a joint statement, the hospital and Woods's representatives said that "he was admitted, treated and released in good condition" following the "minor" accident.

Alcohol was not involved in the incident, which took place when Woods pulled out of his driveway in Florida. Police stated that he was driving so slowly that the motor's airbags did not inflate.

Meanwhile, the highway patrol have said that the crash is still being investigated and charges are pending.

There is something more to this story than meets the eye. How could a sober man drive out of his driveway and crash into a fire hydrant and a tree when he was only supposed to be travelling at a slow speed. Why did Mrs Woods have to smash a window with a golf club.

I think there has been a wee domsetic and TW has left the house in a bad temper

GOLF superstar Tiger Woods was knocked out for six minutes and suffered face injuries in a 2am car crash after a bust-up with his wife.

The 33-year-old was pulled from the vehicle by Swedish model missus Elin Nordegren after hitting a fire hydrant and a tree close to their Florida home.

Elin, 29, heard the accident and is reported to have rushed out of the house with a golf club to smash out the back window and pull Tiger clear.

The world's highest-paid sportsman was drifting in and out of consciousness with his wife hovering over him when cops arrived.

Tiger had cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth.

Police gave him first aid until he was taken to hospital about ten minutes later.

Sources said Tiger and beauty Elin had been arguing before the accident.

Reports in the US claim he has been cheating on her with party hostess Rachel Uchitel, 34.

Rachel is said to have followed Tiger around the world.

She was photographed at the same hotel where Tiger was staying while playing in the Australian Open.

Lawyers for the golfer have denied the allegations.

Tiger had not been wearing a seat belt when he crashed, shortly after pulling out of the driveway of his £15million home.

He smashed his face into the windscreen.

The air bags on his car, a Cadillac Escalade SUV, did not deploy, indicating he was travelling at a low speed.

Tiger, golf's world No 1, was released after 12 hours of treatment at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee.

Police said alcohol was not involved but charges were pending. Tiger could face a reckless driving rap or prosecution for not wearing a belt.

Gary Bruhn, mayor of Windemere where Tiger lives, said: "There were facial lacerations and he was treated. This was an accident - nothing special."

Tiger and Elin have two children Sam Alexis, two, and nine-month-old Charlie Axel.

The hostess alleged to have been romantically involved with Tiger Woods has denied the reports.

New York socialite Rachel Uchitel was linked to the golf superstar by a US tabloid, leading to speculation that she caused a fight between Woods and his wife that allegedly led to his car crash last week.

Speaking to the New York Post, she said: "This is ridiculous. Not a word of it is true. I told the Enquirer that it wasn't true.

"I told them not only did I have information to disprove the story but I offered to take a lie detector test. It is horrible to Tiger's family. His wife must feel horrible."

She added: "That's a horrible thing to read, 'Tiger's telling Rachel he loves her'. It's just so dumb. Tiger and I are not friends. I've only met him twice."

Woods, 33, issued a statement over the weekend pleading for privacy and referencing the "many false, unfounded and malicious rumours" that are circulating about his family.

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren have divorced, the couple said in a statement posted on the world number one golfer's website.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," the couple said.

They said they planned to "share parenting" of their two children.


News of the split comes nine months after a car crash outside Mr Woods' Florida home set off revelations that he had been unfaithful to Ms Nordegren.

Details of the financial settlement have not been disclosed, but US media reports suggest the former Mrs Woods will receive over $100m (£64.4m).

The divorce was finalised in Florida by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel in what was described as a brief hearing in which both Mr Woods and Ms Nordegren were present.

“Woods has been a rather more distracted figure than the one we have been used to seeing on the golf course, and of course his results have reflected that”
Iain Carter BBC Golf correspondent

Correspondents say the agreement is almost certain to have included a secrecy clause surrounding the circumstances leading to the crash which left Tiger Woods seriously injured and after which he publicly confessed to serial infidelity.

BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter says that golf insiders had "guessed... that divorce proceedings have been underway for quite some time".

"Woods has been a rather more distracted figure than the one we have been used to seeing on the golf course, and of course his results have reflected that," Carter said.

The couple married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son, Charlie.

'No longer married'

In November 2009 Mr Woods, the world's wealthiest athlete, was involved in a single-vehicle accident outside his Florida home.

Soon after, several women came forward and claimed they had had affairs with Mr Woods.

Mr Woods, 34 subsequently lost several major sponsors, including AT&T Gatorade. In February he publicly apologised and admitted that he had been unfaithful to Ms Nordegren, a former model.

In a statement released by their lawyers on Monday, the pair asked for privacy "as we adjust to a new family situation".

"While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us," the joint statement said.

"Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them."

Mr Woods, bidding to make the US Ryder Cup team as a "captain's pick" is poised to play this week at The Barclays golf tournament in New Jersey.

I have never seen so many headlines about Tiger since he won a golf major!

I am in shock that he would do something like this but then again not surprised as it would be interesting to ask these women ' what attracted you to the millionaire Tiger Woods?'
