His wife Elin does come from a very distinguished Swedish family. Her mother was a government minister, her father a radio journalist and her twin sister lives in London and is a lawyer for a top firm. Not sure about their younger brother but education seems to be very important. I do remember though there was a minor scandal caused when Tiger didn't attend his daughter's Christening in Sweden and chose to play golf that day instead in California. The American press really didn't touch it be it was a story featured in the British media. According to the Swedish media Elin family was quite surprised that Tiger chose not to come.
Wondering though, how many of us have a gold club handy to break car windows?

If he wasn't wearing his seat belt and he hit a tree going 30mph he would definitely have those injuries.

Yeah sorry but I'm not buying the story that she had to break the back window with a golf club. The report makes it sound like it was a fairly minor crash at a low speed and not one of the 4 car doors would open? He couldn't crawl into the back and out one of the rear doors? He managed to crawl out over broken glass?
The People report seems to suggest she smashed the window, went into the car and pulled him out. I'm supposed to believe that she crawled into the car through the back window, managed to unbuckle him and drag him out through the back window with her? The police say he was in and out of unconscious so he would have been dead weight.

Well, if the accounts are true and they did have an argument, at least Tiger had the decency to leave the house instead of beating the crap out of Elin like what Chris Brown did to Rihanna. He shouldn't get scrutinized for arguing. Couples argue all the time. Especially with small kids and around the holidays. They seem like such a loving couple. I hope they work their issues out.

This happened at the end of his driveway, how do you pick up that much speed on a drive way, it can't be that long. His wife looks like she weights 90lbs soaking wet, I doubt that she could have hauled him out of that car. The media is already trying to spin this as a heroic wife saving her husband. The lesson in this story, don't drive angry, just ask my fella, he had to replace the garage door the next day. They have small children, I am sure they will work this out. They have always been a very very private couple. This must be hard on them both.

I think that because they are so private this raises people's curiosity tenfold. You always wonder if perfect couples are really that perfect. I also think because a window was bashed in at the back of the car there are questions. She may have bashed it in because she was afraid she would strike him or get glass all over him if she did a window closer to him. Also, the recent rumors of cheating don't help.

I am sure the maker of the vehicle he was driving is thrilled that their product cannot stand up to a fire hydrant during a low speed crash?

Yeah, that's the only way the back of the window being broken would make sense if she really didn't break it before. It's possible that the passenger door was locked so she couldn't get in that way. So, she chose to break the back window to avoid potentially cutting him with glass. Once inside she could have unlocked the passenger door and was able to drag him out that way. If he was somewhat awake he could have helped her. The scenario is a stretch but still plausible.
Being so private probably does add fuel to the fire along with the cheating rumors. It gets out they argued so people automatically assume the cheating rumors are true, Elin believes them, or they are splitting up. It's certainly possible any of those things are true. But, as another poster pointed out, it's the holidays and they have small kids and the stress from those things alone can spark an argument. Having an argument doesn't automatically mean a couple is breaking up. Of course, this incident should certainly make them rethink how they argue if they are indeed staying together.

This happened at the end of his driveway, how do you pick up that much speed on a drive way, it can't be that long. I've seen aerial shots of the enclave Tiger lives in. The driveways are long, easily long enough for a high performance vehicle to hit 30mph.
