Tiger Woods announced today that he won’t be playing in the tournament he has hosted the last nine years, the Cheveron World Challenge.
“I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week. I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I’m very sorry that I can’t be there.”
This is probably good on all accounts, for Tiger and the players. Tiger probably isn’t ready to face the media and the circus which would no doubt happen at this event. Me either. My right forefinger is tired from clicking on all the Tiger headlines…
Tiger has canceled talking to the Florida Highway Patrol a 3rd time and issued an official statement regarding the car crash outside his house at 2:25am a few nights ago:
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.
Dispatcher 1: Orange County Sheriff’s dispatcher
Dispatcher 2: Orange County Fire-Rescue dispatcher
Dispatcher 1: 911 what’s your emergency?
Caller: I have, this is, uh … (redacted) in the Isleworth subdivision. I need an ambulance immediately. I have someone down in front of my house. They hit a pole. I came out to see.
Dispatcher 1: Is it a car accident, sir?
(inaudible)
Dispatcher 1: Sir, is it a car accident? Hello? Sir? Hello?

My phone rang at 7:06am on a Saturday. That better be an emergency or something very important. It was my pal Jay Flemma calling to let me know he’d just interviewed Rachel Uchitel, the woman rumored to have been having an affair with Tiger Woods in a recent article in the National Enquirer. This exclusive interview is one of only 3-4 she has done regarding this subject to date.
This is a person I’d hoped not to mention when I was referring to Tiger Woods rumors in the post about the fishy Tiger Woods car crash. I’d really hoped none of this would pop up and I really hope what Rachel Uchitel says in her interview with Jay is true and that I and millions of other TW fans can go back to enjoying watching this guy play golf.
Please let 2010 be a great and record breaking year in golf history. Say it isn’t so.

The press has Tiger mania about Tiger mania. They’re all going crazy about Tiger playing in Australia, and his $3 million appearance fee. The course, Kingston Heath measures out at 6923 yards (I had to convert it from meters), which is pretty short for PGA Tour players and the scores reflect it. Tiger sits at -10 (66, 68) after two rounds and has a three shot lead currently. I’ll try to wind the DVR up and watch a bit this weekend…
