Case is closed but scrutiny of Woods accident continues

That story came out just two days before Woods wrecked his SUV in the early morning hours following Thanksgiving. The accident — and Woods' refusal to answer questions — fueled speculation among tabloids and gossip Web sites about a possible dispute between Woods and his wife, who told police she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the SUV to help him out.

But Montes said there were “no claims of domestic violence by any individual” stemming from the accident. And an attorney for the neighbors who called 911 said Woods did not appear to be driving under the influence and showed no signs of having been in a fight.

Attorney Bill Sharpe said the Adams family found Nordegren kneeling beside her husband, upset about his injuries. Sharpe said Woods appeared woozy and had scratches on his face and that his wife was trying to console him. The Adamses wrapped Woods in a blanket and made sure he didn't move.

By skipping his tournament, Woods was able to escape the TV cameras and a horde of media seeking more details. The event was to be the last of the year for Woods anyway, and he did not say when or where he would make his return next year.

But Woods remained the subject of intense media scrutiny, and the Us Weekly report didn't help his appeal for privacy.

According to the magazine Grubbs said she was 21 when she was approached by Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub on April 13, 2007. The magazine said the meeting “progressed into a clandestine on-and-off affair” that lasted nearly three years and included hundreds of texts.

“I hope he can forgive me for doing this and I know he probably can't,” Grubbs is quoted as saying. “Whatever happens with Elin, I hope Tiger and I can reconnect and remain good friends.”

Reached in Sweden on Wednesday, Woods' father-in-law, Thomas Nordegren said: “I don't want to comment on this whatsoever.”

An AP reporter went to a residence in Escondido, Calif., seeking comment from Grubbs. A person who identified himself as Cody came to the door but didn't open it, said she wasn't there.

Grubbs recently appeared on VH1's reality series, “Tool Academy.”

"No comment" from Thomas Nordegren (a veteran Swedish journalist)

Is it a dodge or complete ignorance from someone who reports news for a living?
