Great reporting. After reading your article, I have to say that he is lucky he wasn't killed! Running into a fire hydrant and hitting a tree could so easily be fatal.
I hope this accident and the rumors surrounding it won't ruin Tiger's career. Not that he needs the money, but it would be a shame to see him go out this way.
....hmmm...
My prayers go out to Tiger and his family.
Glad to hear the rumors may have been overblown. Thank goodness and an excellent, speedy report.
The update is good news. Thanks for the report!
Quick report, well done
