TMZ has some photos of Tiger Woods’ car crash which makes me question the safety of the Escalade – no airbags for this? Tisk tisk.

My hubby and I were taking about this and the question he asked was “what do you tell people if it WAS your wife that attacked you?” and I said to avoid the question all together “last night I was in an accident on my own property and thankfully my wife was first on scene to help me. I have suffered some minor injuries but will be fine in no time. Thank you for your concern.” Done. Acknowledge it, provide no details, move on. Tiger put a statement on his site today that did pretty much that:

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.

Stacey: I have a feeling we will never truly know what happened that night, but speculating is so much more fun.  As for Tiger though, the fact that he didn’t throw is wife under the proverbial bus after she allegedly attacked him with a gold club is pretty good.  Hey, I am not defending her, but if I found out my hubby was cheating on me and it was plastered all over the front cover of every magazine for the whole world to see, I might chase him with a golf club too.  And the fact that he is protecting her, rather than calling her a crazy bee-atch, shows that he might really be sorry for what he did.  No excuse but still.  Or maybe he just really is an idiot and crashed his car in his own driveway?
