Why the Tiger Woods car crash is a big deal (photos, videos, slideshow)

In this Nov. 14, 2009 file photo, Tiger Woods, from the United States, lines up a putt during the third round of the Australian Masters golf tournament at the Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia. Authorities say Woods has been seriously injured in a car wreck in Florida. The Florida Highway Patrol says the PGA star hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he pulled out of his driveway early Friday, Nov. 27, 2009, in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle. Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital. His condition was not immediately known, though the news release said his injuries were serious. (AP Photo/Andrew Brownbill, File)

You may be asking yourself why the Tiger Woods car crash is a big deal. After all, countless people are involved in minor car accidents and fender benders every day, these stories rarely make the news, let alone garner the worldwide attention given Tiger Woods’ November 27, 2009 accident. There are several reasons why Tiger’s accident remains headline news, first and foremost is the celebrity factor, second is that Tiger Woods’ story simply doesn’t make sense. The Tiger Woods Story: car crash, mistresses, affairs, apologies and domestic violence (photos, slideshows, videos)

Should Tiger Woods have given a story to authorities that was logical and reasonable, there is no doubt this story would have been put to rest by now; even with Tiger Woods’ celebrity status. Britney Spears has crashed a few cars in her day, even ran over a paparazzo’s foot and that coverage didn’t last more than a day. Tiger Woods, however, has not explained where he was going, what he was doing, why he crashed, how his wife was involved, or addressed the allegations of an affair with Rachel Uchitel head on. Therefore, the media circus surrounding this situation can be placed back at the feet of Tiger Woods.

If Tiger Woods wants the media frenzy, speculation, and rumors to end, he’ll have to confess to the mystery behind the crash. Until he does, it will remain headline news because everyone knows that there is something to the story and no one is talking.

Another aspect to the Tiger Woods car accident that has kept it in the spotlight is the fact that charges haven’t been filed yet. Tiger hasn’t yet been charged with a minor traffic violation, something that is routine in these cases. Should this have been nothing more than a simple Britney Spears, “Oops, I hit it again” moment, he would have faced a traffic violation charge and have been on his way to the next golfing game.

Tiger Woods story doesn’t add up, and until the police, Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren Woods, or Rachel Uchitel tell the public something that makes sense, this story is going to remain headline news.

    I am not interested in Tiger's private life, neither should you be. He has never professed to being holier than thou. Therefore, I hold him to the same standards as myself.
