Tiger Woods voluntarily allowed the Florida Highway Patrol to visually inspect his upper body for signs of injuries, according to television station WESH.

WESH’s source says Woods lifted his shirt and allowed troopers to look at his chest, back, arms and hands.

As previously reported, on December 1, days after Woods’ November 27 accident, he showed up at an undisclosed  to get his $164 ticket for careless driving.    The highway patrol says that the only injury they saw  on Woods was a “fat lip.”    They said there was no sign of domestic violence.

The highway patrol’s report contradicts an Internet rumor that was published by veteran sportswriter Furman Bisher.  That rumor said that Woods’ injuries were so severe that after being released from the hospital on November 27, he flew to Arizona for plastic surgery and that he had to stay there longer that expected because his injuries were more severe than expected.

FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes told WESH, "all of these rumors of these injuries are false." She said his injuries were consistent with hitting the steering wheel.
