Most of you have heard that Tiger Woods was in a car accident over the holiday weekend.  It is a messy situation, and Tiger has basically refused to dispel the wild speculation about what really happened.  Here are the basic facts we do know: Early Friday morning Woods crashed his car into a fire hydrant outside his house.  His wife Elin Nordegren was standing there with a golf club in hand.  Woods had a laceration on his face after he was rushed to the hospital.  We also know that stories about an affair between Tiger and a woman named Rachel Uchitel surfaced recently.

So what really happened?  Here are a few possibilities.

• Tiger and his wife got in an argument.  Elin cracked him in the face with a golf club.  She chased him out of the house where he got in his car and accidentally crashed into the hydrant in front of his house.
• Tiger and his wife were arguing.  Tiger needed to get away so he went out to his car.  She chased him out with a golf club and smashed in the window.  He hit the hydrant.
• Tiger innocently left the house for a drive.  He accidentally ran into the hydrant.  Elin came running out with a golf club and smashed the window in order to pull Tiger to safety.

The 3rd one is what Tiger would want you to believe, but the 2nd one seems most likely.  While I can understand that Tiger wants to keep the incident private, he has to understand that by not clearing the air, it gives rise to the wild speculation that is occurring in the media right now.  I hope they are able to figure everything out, but until then the rumors and stories will continue to swirl.

What do you think really happened?
