Tiger Woods cited for careless driving; no criminal charges

Tagged:

The Florida Highway Patrol cited Tiger Woods for careless driving related to Friday morning’s one-car accident that sent him to the hospital, but closed its investigation without criminally charging the star golfer. At a press conference, Sgt. Kim Mondes of the FHP announced that Woods could face a fine of $164 and four points on his driving record.

    Kinda hard to drive carefully when your wife is chasing you with a nine iron.

    • Bobby

      I was gonna say the same thing.

    • Linda L

      LOL. So true

    • Carole

      forgot to “secure” the weapons in the house – ain’t that one of the golden rules

  • mishka

    Mrs Woods handlded the whole cheating affair like a b-b-black woman (compare “Madea”). Tiger better think before he cheats again…

    • Anonymous

      there’s actually no proof that he cheated yet. some gossip magazine stirred up that rumor. it might be true but it hasn’t been confirmed

        Give it time. You don’t hire Gloria Allred for nothing, because you don’t have anything important to say.

      • Gabby

        @Shamrock: No, but you do hire her when you want your 15 minutes of fame.

  • Shamrock

    Cops totally wussed out.

  • fred

    • jeff

      At last. We’ve finally found someone who can beat Tiger Woods.

  • hates golf

    I guess some of you should thank Woods for giving you the opportunity to make jokes at his expense, apparently making you feel better about yourselves.

  • judy

    what happen was he was going to the store and while he was texting and hit one thing and then he backed up to fast and droped his phone and he hit again no lie iamserious thank you

  • Just Sayin’

    Why would he face criminal charges? Why the hell are they still talking about this?! He had an argument with his wife about some dumb sh*t that he did that resulted in him crashing! It’s no ones business but there’s. However, I would like to point out that a similar situation happened with Chris Brown and Rihanna, but of course no cares about domestic abuse when it’s the male that gets attacked.

    • Gabby

      If his wife had beat him senseless with the golf club, then people would care. And people were concerned about the possibility of domestic abuse even though it was just wild speculation about her INTENTIONS (and we have absolutely no proof that that’s what she even intended to do), not anything she actually DID (whereas Chris Brown really DID verifiably beat the living sh*t out of his girlfriend…that HAPPENED).

      What a clumsy, thoughtless comparison. You’re distorting these incidents to air your own agenda on such a serious issue.

      • Muffy

        A lot of ppl are saying, I really don’t care if she beat him or not. It’s their private business, it’s their marriage.” But when Rhianna and Chris and their spat, people did not respect their privacy. People even got angry when Chris said, “I want the details to remaine private” CB, and Rihanna should’ve been married. Rihanna was beaten so bad, the hospital released her on the same night.

      • Muffy

        Typos: But when Rihanna, and Chris Brown had their spat. I want the details to remain private.

    Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.

    What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

    Tiger Woods wasn’t seriously injured in the crash, but he’s still below par.

    What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went night “clubbing”.

    Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.
    Perhaps Tiger should be using a driver?

    This is the first time Tiger’s ever failed to drive 300 yards.

    After a wayward drive, Tiger Woods found water before nestling behind a tree

    Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.

    Apparently, Tiger admitted this crash was the closest shave he’s ever had. So Gillette has dropped his contract.

  • Jed

    Serves him right for what he did but he got off too easily. Maybe he’ll think twice before he cheats on her again.

    • BJohnson

      You know he cheated? Who told you? Or are we speculating because it kills the world to know that a celebrity won’t talk about something.

  • Hubert

    Since no one else has raised the issue, let me the first to ask: what the hell does this have to do with “entertainment”? I don’t see Sports Illustrated covering “Twilight”. Geez…

  • BJohnson

    This has got to be the lamest story ever covered. The press really looks stupid covering this. Now one girl says nothing happened then some other girl runs to a talk show to tell about her affair. Really? I was stuck listening to my radio station cover some stripper who claims she slept with Fergie’s husband. Ignorance, stay quiet Tiger because anything you say will be called a lie anyway so why bother with making a statement. Seems like the press has all the story they are willing to spin.

  • Maxine Gibson

    They had a fight over a woman, the wife lost her temper and scratched Tigers face and was chasing him with a golf club. She smashed the window before he had the wreck causing him to have the accident, he was trying to get away fast because she was still chasing him with a golf club, she wanted to injure him. He didn’t even have any shoes on. He had to get out before she really injured him.
    Tiger is covering up for her, he doesn’t want her arrested for domestic violence.

  • jools

    Wonder what kind of machinations were involved in that settlement. How easy to cover things up when you’re rich and famous.
