BBC Sport - Golf - Golf star Tiger Woods 'injured in car accident'

Golfer Tiger Woods is in a serious condition after being involved in a car accident in Florida, according to US unconfirmed media reports.

The golfer's car reportedly struck a fire hydrant and tree as he pulled out of the driveway of his home.

Associated Press news agency, quoting the Florida Highway Patrol, says an inquiry into the crash is under way.

Woods, 33, was taken to Health Central Hospital, local reports said, but the hospital has not confirmed this.

Tiger Woods Car Accident: BIZARRE - SB Nation

Just for the record, let's look at what we know so far about the Tiger Woods car accident that apparently has him in "serious condition" right now. Or, maybe he's fine. Depends on who you ask, I suppose. What do we know so far?

Apparently, Woods pulled out of his driveway and hit a fire hydrant and then a tree. Still, no airbags deployed and he was presumably going at modest speed, so... How could he have possibly suffered "serious" injuries from that accident alone? And what "charges" are pending if it was a fender bender with a fire hydrant and a neighborhood tree. Not to go all CONSPIRACY theorist on you, but it just doesn't make sense.

Or, if he did suffer the injuries in the accident, how could it possibly have happened with him sober and coherent? It is pretty damn difficult to hit a fire hydrant and THEN hit a tree on a different person's property. Although if you're drunk or otherwise impaired, it's much easier.

It was Klatsch, and then Thud and then Ouch.

About as likely as a hole in one...
