Tiger Woods & Wife Argued Before Crash

Posted Nov 27th 2009 6:10PM by TMZ Staff

Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ Tiger Woods' early morning accident came right after an argument with his wife, Elin Nordegren.

Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren

We're told Elin told cops about the argument at the scene of the accident and Tiger gave the same story to authorities at the hospital where he was treated.

One Florida law enforcement official called it "a domestic issue."

Elin apparently was able to forgive and forget -- according to Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, Nordegren smashed out the back window of Tiger's car to help get him out.

UPDATE -- We're told the Florida Highway Patrol went to Tiger's house this afternoon to talk to him about the accident -- but they were turned away by his wife, who said he was sleeping. The FHP plans to try and talk to Woods again tomorrow.

6. Men experience over one-third of Domestic Violence-related injuries. Men are far less likely to report DV incidents than women

8. She broke out the back window to rescue him? He went head on with a tree either door would have done just fine. Sounds like the bitch was chasing him down with the clubs beating him.

10. He reportedly cheated on her. Who can blame her for getting angry?
Can't wait to see how Nike tries to prevent additional press coverage of their cash cow's domestic problems.

15. #1: What was he doing up 3:00 in the morning?
#2: How did his wife know he had an accident?
#3: If he had an accident, how did she know to get golf clubs to bust the window open to get him out?
#4: Why was he in such a hurry he didn't put his seatbelt on? He wouldn't have hit his face?
#5: What happened to the airbags? That was a 2009 Cadillac SUV, they do have airbags!!!!? Now his face has been scarred!

Recover quickly Tiger!!
