Statement From Tiger Woods

Golf superstar Tiger Woods posted a statement on his website today disputing wild rumors that he is a victim of domestic abuse.

Woods was involved in a one-car accident in the driveway of his mansion on Friday. He sustained facial lacerations and bruises that TMZ.com claimed were inflicted by his wife Elin Nordegren-Woods after the two argued about his rumored infidelity with an industry trollop.

Meanwhile, Woods canceled a 3rd scheduled meeting with FHP officers who sought to interview Woods and his wife about the accident.

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

This statement can be taken one of two ways: Either Tiger is admitting to having a substance abuse problem that led to his car accident (addiction to pain killers maybe?) or he really is telling the truth and Elin didn’t go upside his head with one of his own golf clubs.

    TMZ gets on my damn nerves. They always jump into people’s business and leak private info (MJ’s death, Rihanna’s battered face, etc).

    Anyways, this situation is confusing. I can’t wrap my mind around what happened. If his wife did beat his @$$, that goes to show that not all white women are submissive :lol:

    Tiger, I don’t believe you, you need more people. I find it hard to believe that you, a man whose livelihood, has been built based on your pin-point accuracy on the golf course, cannot successfully maneuver your own vehicle on your own property, thus causing a ONE CAR COLLISION. :YES:

    Sandra you might be on to something this time….they only said no alcohol was involved. Let’s see what going on w/ that blood work.

    there has got to be more to this story. if it was simply an accident, why won’t he meet with the police? you releasing statements but you can’t talk to the police to clear it all up?

    I believe he was trying to get away from the wife as she was coming for his a** over his supposed cheating.

    tmz will get the the story, they always have someone willing to spill it for some dollars. he probably figures that he f he does talk to police that is what will happen, someone will leak the info.

    Umm, I guess he’s finding out that going white didn’t save him from “ghetto” ish. And what does Mr. I’m not a Black man knows about being ghetto anyway? Self-hating negro puhleeze. He’s about to find out hell hath no fury like a scorned white woman married to money. I’ll be on the sidelines laughing and anticipating with the others waiting for him to once again get another dose of his blackness. Oh he may not get blown up like Chris and OJ but trust those same people that make remarks about chicken, greens and lynching regarding him will have plenty to say.

    in reading between the lines…when tiger says he will make sure this doesn’t happen again, it’s not that he wont cheat again, he’ll just make sure he’s more careful to not let wifey find out.

    i’m actually detached from this story and haven’t read how she found out, or if that’s just speculation. probably some trailor trash michael jordan hooked him up with.

    Anybody who believes this crap, let me seel you some land in the rain forest.

    1-Why is a car wreck a private matter
    2-Why did she break out the back window? He wasn’t surrounded by trees etc.
    3-Why is he saying he’s not perfect? Because he was cheating?
    4-Why you need a lawyer to keep you from talking to the po-po, for an innocent car wreck.
    5-The neighbor called the po-po not her. She wasn’t too concerned.
    6-He just trying to protect that fake azz image he been parlaying.

    As far as TMZ, I live in Calif. and Harvey has very good contacts, whether we like it or not. He’s lying.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    UhUh Auntie,,,Aint no substance abuse problem,,,It is much more to this story that is being hidden,,,if he’s telling the truth and there is nothing to hide then why hasn’t he talked to the authorities??? Plain and simple somebody is covering up something but it’s okay everything comes to light eventually and once we find out that Elin did indeed bust him upside his head wit that golf club I want every blogger and media outlet to GO IN on her just like they did Chris Brown. At least Chris Brown didn’t dodge the authorities SMH.

    Sometimes “no comment” or opting not to issue a press release is the best option. Tiger’s statement seems like an attempt to protect his wife and to get on her good side. After reading the statement all I processed was: “This is a private matter between me, my wife and my jumpoff and I will not be releasing any details.”

    ihatelameassmen says:

    I don’t why everyone is so concerned with “HIS” business. So what if his wife did whoop his a$s, he probably deserved it. It was a minor car accident. Leave it at that. Its too many nosey mo fo’s out here. WHO REALLY CARES!!!!!!! Seriously people do we really have nothing better to do than dissect this man’s marriage? WHO GIVES A $HIT!!!!! Let them folks be!!!

    Tiger’s statement is all about maintaining his endorsements. He knows he cheated. His wife whipped his azz. Look, it was bound to happen. He hangs around Michael Jordan – the super whore. Next.

    Leesa says:

    Let me find out his wife was gonna kill that ass!

    His statement and his actions seems a little too suspect!

    He already has a lawyer, for what? For hitting a neighbors tree? SUSPECT!

  43. 43
    Bird says:

    Actually Tiger’s statement doesn’t clear up anything. He didn’t say what rumors were false and he didn’t say why it was his fault? Was it his fault because he felt he had the beatdown coming or was it his fault because he was high? Oh yeah and where was he going at 2:30 AM? His statement is PR and nothing more. Still I like how he is handling this and if I were him I wouldn’t talk to the police. It will blow over waaaaay sooner than other situations where law enforcement was involved.

    BUT now I’m starting to wonder how often his wife is violent with him. I hope this was a one shot deal.

    free says:

    all he had to do was say that he and wifey had a “brief argument” and he wrecked his car while leaving to get a breath of fresh air. it happens. now it’s turned into TIGER-GATE.

    he doesn’t have a substance problem he has a “i’m rich and i finally succumbed to some side *ss” problem.

    commonswifey says:

    I agree with everything Talldrink said!!Tigers full of it. His statement is not consistent with what he wants us to beleive

    attorneymom says:

    LMBO @ TIGER-GATE reference made by Free.

    Anyways, Tiger Woods must remember that ain’t no n**** going to tell Florida Highway Patrol or Windermere police what to do. Are you crazy?? Blank stare. Once you and your wife took your beatdown outside to the streets, your privacy ended. We would not have known that you two were having problems if it were not for you running for life at 2:00 am. You and your publicist better remember giving false statements, even though you are a victim of a crime, to the police is a crime.

    *sigh* Tiger, sit down! The wife was whippin’ that azz because she found out he was cheating, he tried to get away, she probably was chasing the truck still hitting his azz while he was driving and he crashed! :lolol:

    chase says:

    Crazy, he got caught out there and now trying to cover it up. The media is on top of this because they know there is a lot of juice behind the story. If the tabloids did not report the affair story last week this car accident would not been that big of a deal…. He got caught with his pants down and now he is back peddling…. Lol at dudes and chicks still not realizing what happens in the dark will come to light at some point

    That is the label that tiger coined for himself.
    He says that is not a black man, instead he is “cablinasian” which is a mixture of caucasian, black, american indian, and asian (Thai and Chinese)

    attorneymom says:

    @Waterlily, his azz is about to find out that he is still a n****.

    Cops are pissed off about a dumbazz black man assassinating four officers in WA. They aren’t going to let some rich n**** continue to impede their investigation.

    Krysi, I’m with you and Attorney Mom. He gets no love from the black community. I’ll be damned if Al or Jesse step in on his behalf on this one.

    In essence he is no different than any other BLACK MAN, on this one
