Ambulance called to Woods' home | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A woman has been taken to hospital in an ambulance from golf star Tiger Woods' home in Florida. | |
It came after a 911 emergency call was received from Woods' home in the gated Orlando community in the early hours. | |
TV footage showed an unidentified woman - who is not believed to be Woods' Swedish wife, Elin - being wheeled on a stretcher into a nearby hospital. | |
Last week, Woods apologised to his family for letting them down amid speculation about his private life. | Last week, Woods apologised to his family for letting them down amid speculation about his private life. |
The statement on his website - in which he referred to unspecified "transgressions" - came days after he was found bleeding and semi-conscious after his car hit a tree and fire hydrant outside his home. | |
The crash fuelled speculation that he had had a dispute with his wife. | |
Woods has been married to Elin, a former model, for five years. The couple have two children. | |

On Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Fire Rescue service told the Associated Press that medics had responded to an 911 call from the gated Deacon Circle community in Isleworth, near Orlando. | |
An adult was taken to Health Central Hospital in nearby Ocoee, the spokeswoman said. Police confirmed the emergency call came from Woods' home. | |

Orlando television station WESH said a radio log showed an adult woman had been transported from Woods' home to the hospital. | |
The log showed the patient had initially refused transport, but was later listed as an advance life-support patient, WESH added. | |
TV pictures showed a blonde woman being taken through the hospital entrance to the emergency room. | |
Unconfirmed reports said the patient was "middle-aged", adding that Woods' mother-in-law, who lives in Sweden, has been visiting her daughter. | |
Blood test results | |
Woods' car crash followed a story in a US gossip magazine that he had had an affair with a Los Angeles cocktail waitress. | |
The 14-time major champion was later charged with careless driving and fined $164. | |
A police report on the crash that was released on Monday showed that a Florida Highway Patrol trooper had suspected Woods of driving under the influence, and sought a subpoena for the golfer's blood results from the hospital he was taken to after the crash. | |
Prosecutors rejected the request. |
