NY Daily News Reports:
Tiger Woods was hospitalized early Friday when he struck a fire hydrant and a neighbor's tree while pulling his Cadillac Escalade out of the driveway at his Florida home.
The world's greatest golfer hit the hydrant about 2:25 a.m. before driving into the tree on adjacent property in the gated community of Isleworth.
He was leaving his $2.4 million Florida mansion when the accident occurred. It was unclear if he was wearing a seat belt.
Woods, 33, was taken by ambulance to North Central Hospital in Ocoee, Fla., in serious condition, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Woods spokesman Glenn Greenspan told The Associated Press that the golfer was treated at the hospital and released in good condition.
A local Florida mayor told CNN that Woods suffered facial lacerations.
The hospital declined comment.
Police said the airbags on the 2009 SUV did not deploy, meaning Woods was driving under 33 mph.
The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending. The highway patrol said the accident was not alcohol-related.
