Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported.
Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said.
FHP spokesman Jorge Delahoz said patients' conditions are always classified as "serious" if they are transported to a hospital.
Officials close to accident investigation told the Orlando Sentinel that Woods received facial lacerations. He was treated at Health Central early this morning and released.
A Health Central hospital employee said this afternoon that Woods is not a patient.
There are no other details available about Woods' condition.
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told USA Today that Woods was fine following the accident.
FHP said alcohol is not considered a factor in the accident, and it is unknown whether he was wearing a seat belt.
The crash is under investigation, and charges are pending.
The airbags in Woods' Cadillac Escalade did not deploy, which means the vehicle was traveling under 33 mph, according to FHP.
Orange County Fire Rescue received the call for aid at 2:28 a.m. Woods was transported from his Windermere-area neighborhood by the hospital's own ambulance.
According to his official website, TigerWoods.com, he is in the middle of a two-week break in tournament play. Woods next tournament is Dec. 3-6 at the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
