Woods has been at the top of the profession for many years

Golfer Tiger Woods is in a serious condition after being involved in a car accident in Florida, according to US unconfirmed media reports.

The golfer's car reportedly struck a fire hydrant and tree as he pulled out of the driveway of his home.

Associated Press news agency, quoting the Florida Highway Patrol, says an inquiry into the crash is under way.

Woods was taken to Health Central Hospital, local reports said, but the hospital has not confirmed this.

The story was reported by the Orlando Sentinel newspaper, which also cited the Florida Highway Patrol.

An official was quoted as saying the accident was not alcohol related.

Woods, 33, owns a property in the suburb of Isleworth, an exclusive area near Orlando.

Hit a fire hydrant pulling out of his driveway ? Im presuming he has a really long driveway where you can pick up speed ?

Tiger doesn't normally have problems with his drive.

I would presume getting "facial lacerations" would be caused from having the airbag deploy...

I've got a black eye from an airbag hitting me upon impact..

I hope so, they don't come cheap in this recession

You know you play too much GTA when you picture him backing over the hydrant and then it shoots up water for 20 seconds. Man, I need to get out more.

I love how the media made it sound like he was on his death bed, and only a few hours later:

Golfer Tiger Woods was slightly injured in a car wreck Friday in central Florida, officials said. Woods' wife told police she used a golf club to break the SUV's window and pulled him out.

Glad he's ok though.
