Tiger Woods injured in accident after car hits hydrant, tree

tigerwoods_optTiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday when his car struck a tree near his Florida mansion in a gated waterfront community, authorities told the New York Times.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the 33-year-old PGA star hit a hydrant and a tree after pulling out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sports utility vehicle.

The patrol reported Woods' injuries as serious, though Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan said the golfer was treated at the hospital and released in good condition.

The patrol said alcohol was not involved, though the accident remains under investigation. No one else was in the car, patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said.

Woods, who has won 82 times around the world and 14 majors, returned to his $2.4 million home in the exclusive Isleworth subdivision near Orlando earlier this week after attending the Stanford-Cal football game.
