Tiger Woods suffered facial lacerations after being involved in a car accident outside his Florida home Friday morning.

Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac SUV about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

His airbags did not deploy (the Sentinel points out that this means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph).

According to CNN, his wife, Elin Nordegren, used her husband's golf clubs to rescue him.

He was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla.

His rep said the accident was "minor" and that Woods was "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."

No other information about his condition has been released.

Officials are investigating the crash. It is not clear whether Woods or anyone else will be charged. The accident did not appear to have been alcohol-related, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

In February, Woods and wife Elin welcomed their second child, a boy, Charlie. Their first child, Sam Alexis, was born in 2007

    Woods has NO obligation to give a statement, and his lawyers should be disbarred if they let him do it. The cops care nothing about facts (they just invent their own) -- they just want to exploit Woods' fame, the same as his wife and his supposed mistress, for their own selfish purposes -- period.

    The cops are lying. They don't care about investigating domestic violence by a husband-beating ex-model (even if that happened, which they doubt). They're looking for anything that will make the cops look like big-shots in the news. They're hoping the hosp. records will let cops charge him with driving 20 feet while drunk. Who cares!

    Even the most successful, talented and intelligent male is subject to complete manipulation, exploitation and destruction by a supposedly "beautiful" woman. This guy's wife is no different from his alleged mistress -- a star-chaser, using her alleged beauty (cosmetics, starvation, plastic surgery and hair-dye) to nab a big-time meal-ticket and all the glamour that goes w
