The most famous and wealthy (can you say $$$Billionaire???) athlete in the world has been the center of media attention for the last week, since rumors circulating his personal life and reports of a mysterious car crash at 2 AM on the day after Thanksgiving hit the media. The timing of the crash was crucial, less than 1 week before the Tiger Woods sponsored “Chevron World Challenge” tournament which Woods has now stated he will not golf again until 2010 due to injuries sustained in the accident.
To anyone who might have been watching CNN or Sports Center last Friday morning you might have noticed how the incident played out in reverse of the tragic loss of Michael Jackson just a few months ago. In less than 1 hour reports about the incident completely changed. At first the only info given was that Tiger was injured in a car crash outside his home and was in “Critical Condition” in a hospital. Slowly details emerged that he hit a hydrant and a tree, then that his wife had pulled him out unconscious, until finally he was barely injured at all and left with minor cuts on his face.
Since then police and reporters have failed to get an interview from Woods on the details of the crash and why it happened. We may never know but the good thing is he’s alive and well and hopefully will be able to get past this and catch Jack Nicholson in the Green Jacket race.
