The auto accident yesterday morning near Orlando in which Tiger Woods sustained minor cuts and lacerations to his face brings a few interesting points to the surface.

First, without doubt, Eldrick Woods is the most identifiable person in the world. That means he has more cred across the planet than President Obama, the Pope or Miley Cyrus. The late Michael Jackson would have eclipsed Woods in a "WhoDat?" quiz, but he is gone and doesn't count here.

Now folks, this is a golfer I'm talking about! Woods is not a footballer like Maradona or David Beckham, or a basketball player like Michael Jordan or the King in Cleveland. He is not a race car driver, an astronaut or a movie star.

He plays professional golf.

Even in his prime, Jack Nicklaus never achieved that kind of worldwide fame.

The news says "charges are still pending" regarding the accident. According to the reports, Tiger was not wearing his seat belt. That could be one charge, a misdemeanor, but a reporter stated that they cannot charge him with that infraction because by the time the police arrived, Tiger was out of the vehicle and prone on the street with his beautiful wife attending to him.

She is a hero. She broke open the hatchback window of the 2009 Caddy Escalade with a golf club and helped drag Tiger from the car. He was trapped inside with the doors locked and was only semi conscious. He smacked his face into the steering wheel and possibly the broken windshield when he struck the tree.

Interestingly, it seems that the air bag did not deploy! What? In a $60,000 Cadillac the air bag didn't work!?

I wonder which golf club she used to break the safety glass? I would have used a nine-iron or a good solid sand wedge. I would never have used my putter. Wouldn't want to ding-up that club!

The police report indicated that Tiger had not been drinking (I hear that he is a teetotaler) and that drugs were not involved. So why was he driving away from his golf course home at 2:30 a.m.?

Your guess is as good as mine, but I think he was heading for the 3:00 a.m. opening over at Target (Black Friday Special!) to pick up a few boxes of those Titleist PRO-V1 golf balls that were on sale.

They were fifteen dollars off per box of twelve! OMG!

First come. First serve.

And don't worry about Tiger Woods. He will be there in January, teeing off in the first tournament in Hawaii.
