The Florida Highway patrol has released the 911 call made late Thursday night by Tiger woods’ neighbor after Woods crashed his vehicle in his driveway.
(Wait, Tiger wasn’t able to make the police cancel the call?)
After the jump is audio and a full transcription of the call.
Once you hear the call, you’ll know why Woods was in no hurry to talk to the police.
“He hit the tree. I see him, he’s laying down. (It was) an auto accident. … We don’t know what happened.”
The caller did confirm that Woods was unconscious. Interestingly, Nordegren was not mentioned at all.
By the way, the Guinness Book people just emailed, the call is now under heavy consideration for the worst cell phone call made in history.
Transcription of entire call:

DISPATCHER: Yeah.

DISPATCHER: OK. We’re going, too.
RESCUE: Ok, appreciate that. Thank you.
DISPATCHER: You’re welcome. Bye.

no story. what are oyu going to do now,
3:39 pm on November 29th, 2009
I wonder what would happen if I refused an interview with the cops three times. I suspect I would regret it after I came to.
5:58 pm on November 29th, 2009
Uh, why does he have to talk to the police? It is his right not to answer questions. What is he being charged? He is protecting his wife. Wouldn’t you do the same thing? She made inconsistent statements that could lead to charges being pressed against her. So should he make a statement to quench the thirst of the prurient needs of the public? Also, I don’t see any smoking gun in the 911 call. As for the bull crap about Tiger endorsing, we have a rapist (Kobe) and a murderer (Ray Lewis) endorsing products left and right, and if an affair is a reason for him to get dropped, then no one would have endorsements. Please.

Why dont you leave Tiger alone???
He has only been an idol to thousands of people!
What you are doing to him makes me sick!

In the State of Florida domestic violence is a jailable offense no matter the perpetrator. It’s the law.
Stone walling the police while they are conducting an investigation is hardly a “stand up” move on Tiger’s part - no matter how nice a guy he may be.
Sure, protecting your wife is a good thing. But protecting her by hindering an investigation is a very stupid thing to do.
It’s better to get beat up on a Monday instead of a Friday. What that means is that you should tell the truth from the beginning (children, are you paying attention?) because if you tell the truth from the beginning things will not snowball into a certain PR nightmare and potential legal conundrum.
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.
Here endeth the lesson.

He is not hindering an investigation, and he does not have to make a statement if he does not want to if he feels that he may incriminate himself. I actually agree in some ways, that he should stand up. But not to get Dr Phil in this, he feels that, as he says in his statement that this is his fault, so he will take the hit to make sure Elin does not go to jail. But this is getting to be a circus.
1:59 am on November 30th, 2009
It wasn’t a cellphone folks. It was clearly a house phone that went out of range.
11:12 am on November 30th, 2009
WTF he’s driven a GM car and he doesn’t have ON Star?
12:40 pm on November 30th, 2009
Worst cell phone call? How about worst transcription as well. Horrible. Did you even listed to the call?

There is no evidence of any kind here. You are all Church Lobby Gossip Queens. And by the way. MANY home phones cut out when taken out side. I’m sorry were you all born on Mars? Do you not have a mother or grandmother with an old wireless HOME phone. I am so sick of IDIOTS jumping to conclusions for their own drama satisfaction. Don’t act smart and draw “conclusions” when you aren’t even smart enough to SPELL when you type. As far as Woods “stone-walling” the police. WHAT? How is anyone stone-walling? Ever here of freedom of speech? Apparently you have heard of it when it comes to accusing people with no evidence, but NOT when it comes to protecting your family from ass holes like yourselves. Maybe you listen to TMZ too much. There is no evidence here. None. ALL of the speculation on this does not even qualify as speculation. It’s pure fantasy tabloid drama. I’m guessing y’all are the same people who believed there were weapons of mass destruction. Jack asses. Hell there was MORE evidence of THAT lie. Get your asses to “church” and talk to each other in the damned lobby. Save us from your idiocy.
8:46 am on December 1st, 2009
btw I will refuse an interview with the cops as many times as they ask me, because I’m not an idiot. Ever here of lawyers?

He should have married little kim. At least she would have given a real ass kicking.
