The ORLANDO SENTINEL reports two attorneys for the neighbors of Tiger Woods who called 911 after the golfer’s car accident said today that Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren was trying to help the golfer, not injure him.
“He was laying in the road. Mrs. Woods was beside him trying to help him,” Sharp said. “He couldn’t get up. Whether he was conscious, unconscious, I don’t know. She (Nordegren) was trying to help him. She wasn’t trying to do further damage.”
While Woods was completely out of it, and Nordegren later furnished attending EMTs with two prescription pill bottles, the the Adames family “saw no indication that Woods and wife Elin Nordegren were fighting or that drugs or alcohol was involved.”
The neighbors reported they didn’t see the crash not Nordegren with a golf club. They said Woods was out of the SUV and on the ground when deputies arrived and that Nordegren “asked the Adamses (neighbors) to help them.”
So Nordegren was able to smash out the back windows of the Escalade, pull Woods out of the truck herself but then went to ask neighbors to “help them” afterwards?
As for the comments of the attorneys of the neighbors, it’s clear that the lawyers want us all to think the Adames saw absolutely nothing that would be material in the Florida Highway Patrol investigation. Nor was there any sign of a domestic disturbance.

TW story is slipping away - the wagons have been circled pretty effectively.

This blog is great. I love all sports. I love professional golf. And I can’t get enough of this story. The people telling you to stop probably have professional relationships with Woods and are trying to protect the image of their cash cow! Keep up the great coverage.

no, this isn’t getting old.

Certainly not old … You’re right on top of this one. Thanks Brooks

The point here is that the neighbors did NOT see what led up to the accident. Of course Elin would start to help once the accident took place and Tiger was unconscious. What we don’t know is what happened before the accident. Was there an argument? Did Elin get physical with Tiger? Was Tiger trying to flee a confrontation?
I just saw the lawyer for these people say that Tiger’s injuries were not consistent with getting hit with a golf club. What about a fight that involved scratching?

Who cares?

Why is it anyone’s business that tiger had a accident, he didn’t hurt anyone else he has insurance and he can afford to pay the damages to property. None of us would want for everyone and their mother to know their business, if he had an affair it is his and his wife’s business and not ours. Society can come a long way if we would only stop judging people like we don’t want to be judge.

Why is it anyone’s business. If everyone put their business out there what would all their family and friends think. Leave the man alone. Let him live his life.

Leave the Woods family alone. They will have to work out any problems they have (if they have any) not you and me. Pray for him and his young family. God forgives………………and can heal any wounds that might have been inflicted on both Tiger and Elin. Remember the little children………….they are precious
6:25 pm on December 1st, 2009
Gee, I wonder why he has kept his personal life so private all these years! Jesus! One little incident and the entire media world goes crazy, speculations here and there, nasty money grubbing hoes coming out of the woodwork for 15 min of fame. Disgusting. Just leave the guy alone.

My prayer is that at some point men will realize, especially celebrities and politicians, that destroying their families is not worth a hour or two of sexual pleasure. It isn’t! The party girls want to get paid. And if these allegations are true, it will take years for his wife to forgive and trust him again. He will have hell to pay until that happens. Not to mention, if his family is destroyed as a result of a divorce, he will pay dearly as he should. Tiger, you have more to lose than the women who wishes they were in Elin’s place. Respect your wife and children’s mother. Women should not continue to be the down fall of men. Come on!

Leave this family along.Tiger and his wife have two beautiful little children,people love to stir up trouble,Tiger you and your wife just let the news ride on,you all are nice people every one love you,,this will all go away.take care of youself and your family,good luck

Okay Brooks, Wow.. thought it was done, but I have to give credit where credit is due.

OMG– now all the worms are crawing out of the ground — Saying they had a affair with Tiger. —- Keep on dreamin girls.
9:35 pm on December 1st, 2009
I don’t find it funny at all that he is not speaking of this to people he doesn’t know, would you? Tiger Woods has a lot of class for the day and age we live in, show him and his family a little respect! As the old saying goes “hit them when they are down” is all these ladies coming out with these voicemail’s trying to make a fast dollar are doing. Tiger is not paid to entertain us, he is paid for being one of the BEST golfers of all time. He doesn’t have to tell fans or random people anything. And a true fan would respect that and understand as well.

It is ashame that people can’t mind their own business. Some of you that have something to say probably doing dirty things yourself. For the tramps who say that they had or having affairs withTiger. All I have to say your wish you did Tramps. Now you quit your lies because you’re not getting rich. God bless the Wods family. Just remember that there haters out there.

So, what the “Worlds Best Golfer” has stepped up to the plate, and have brought billions to the table, yet just because of a little incident, now all the claims are of “alledged” so called affairs. Come on, TW had no blemish on himself, and now all of the aligations are being made about him, and what is all of this to be gained and by whom. The way I see it, I think the media, always has to screw things up, and so now they will start to believe any one that is walking on the streets, that say, “I had an affair with TW”, so the digging goes deeper, and so they start to crawl into a person private life, and attempt to ruin his family, career, and now its said his corps., and his image……I support his privacy. Thats why we have things call the Privacy Acts of 1974……..has it changed……….????

It could have been a domestic violence. But since the couple is obviously avoiding the issue and doesn’t want to talk about it - let’s just leave it as that.

I got arrested once for domestic battery. My neighbors didn’t see me hit her either. But they say the bruises matched my knuckles. I should have been let go.
12:51 pm on December 2nd, 2009
leave the the tiger alone you sad losers,he and his family will sort it so judge yourself first and see if its worth being critical of the tger and his beautiful family .

Domestic abuse is a crime that occurs behind closed doors. Attempts to be a good samaritan after the fact is common to avoid consequences.
As a male victim of domestic violence, this incident is of particular interest to me. It is not something to let go. It is criminal. It is gender discrimination. And it needs to be addressed, revealed, and investigated at all levels.
Tiger Woods is not doing anyone a favor by taking the hit in more ways than one for this. This is not to condone his infidelity. But put the criminality of infidelity, if there is any, against the criminality of assault. The answer is clear. He has an opportunity to be a true role model, not a phony martyr.
Come on, Tiger. Come clean. Be a true role model. Do real good for society and come clean on this. It’s not entirely your fault. There’s enough fault to go around. Share the blame.

of course its big news-thats what he gets the big bucks for- i wonder what his dad would say if he could see what a mess fame and too much money have made of tigers life!!!! his dad was a class act-as far as i saw- he is acting like a spoiled brat-which is a shame - i have always enjoyed watching him as he is the greatest golfer of our time!
