New Report: What Really Happened the Night Tiger Crashed His SUV

Daily Beast investigative reporter Gerald Posner spoke to two sources who claim to know what really happened the November night Tiger Woods crashed his SUV.
Posner, who appeared on NBC's Today show Monday, says his two sources have discussed various details of the night with Woods' wife, Elin, but they are speaking on the condition of anonymity because she did not give them permission to discuss her conversations with them.
Before the Thanksgiving crash, the sources tell Posner that Woods, 34, gave Elin, 30, advance warning that the National Enquirer was about to run a story claiming that he had an affair with NYC club manager Rachel Uchitel.
See Tiger Woods and his family in happier times!
He swore to Elin that the story was false and that he had only met Uchitel once or twice at social outings. Elin remained suspicious, the sources say.
The day before Thanksgiving, as Internet rumors began to spread, Woods convinced Uchitel to talk to Elin. They had a 30-minute chat. After the conversation, Elin believed the relationship was platonic, the sources say.
But on Thanksgiving, Elin learned some of the Enquirer’s specifics about the purported affair and an argument ensued. To end the bickering, both sources confirm that Woods took Ambien to fall asleep.
While asleep, Elin looked through Woods' cellphone, both sources tell Posner. She found Uchitel’s number (she was listed under her real name) and found a text that read, "You are the only one I've loved."
Look back on Tiger Woods' worst week ever
Shortly after 1 a.m. in Florida, she began texting Uchitel, pretending to be Woods, according to both sources. She wrote, "I miss you," and asked, "When are we seeing each other again?"
Uchitel texted back.
At that point, Elin called Uchitel, who answered thinking it was Woods calling.
Both sources say that Elin said something along the lines of: "I knew it was you."
"Oh f--k!" a surprised Uchitel blurted out and hung up, one source says.

Enraged, Elin woke up Woods by screaming at him. He was disoriented, still in a stupor from the Ambien, the source says.
According to the sources, Elin began hitting him on the chest and arms with her fists, and then finally chased him from the house wielding a golf club. Shoeless, he ran into the car and barreled out of the driveway before careening off a fire hydrant and then smashing into a tree, Posner reports.
Neither source knew the details of how the rear windows in the Escalade were knocked out. One source says Woods lied to police by telling them that his wife smashed them in an attempt to free him from the wreck; he wanted to protect her.

When he was later released from the hospital, Woods was taken to an undisclosed location. Elin was too furious to allow him back home.
Elin - who has two children with Woods, Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months - is still furious, but she will wait for Woods to finish sex rehab before making a final decision on whether to pursue a divorce, the sources tell Posner. She reportedly visited him this weekend at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services clinic in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Tell Us What You Think
97I'm so sick of the Tiger hatred going on here. While I was stationed in Iraq my wife cheated on my with five different guys that I know of. There were probably more. I've NEVER cheated, ever. But, even I'm man enough to admit that if I lived the type of life that Tiger lived I don't know if I would actually be tempted or not. Come on people, men or women. Imagine if you had a billion dollars, and every good looking person on the planet wanted you, oh you couldn't imagine, that's right. Not to mention, and here's the kicker, instead of Tiger fighting back, he took his butt whoopin. Women out there, how many men do you know that would have put their hands on the woman back. So don't tell me that Tiger didn't do anything decent in this ordeal. Not to mention, protecting her and denying it all. Which again is manning up. Lastly, Tiger will become a better man from this, he will become a better husband, and father. And hopefully he can be a better husband to Elin. But, he will be a good husband next time around. Quit raggin on the guy please, everyone makes mistakes. And the worst thing is women cheat just as much, if not worse. My ex wife was cheating on me with mulitple partners, and it took 3 years for me to find out, and I only did because she felt like she could drop her guard while I was deployed. Yeah, I still had friends stateside.
To AMBIEN: THAT'S FUNNY, BUT SO TRUE! Since all of you like to speak on Tiger and Elin's behalf, I, also an "unnamed source" (hah), I will speak on their behalf for them and here's what they have to say: "SHUT THE F*** UP! STOP TRYING TO SPEAK UP FOR US!WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE , THOSE WHO ARE CLAIMING TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT US! WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT, WE WILL ADDRESS THE PUBLIC! TIL THEN SHUT YOUR BIG F****** MOUTH, LIARS!" Tiger and Elin personally told me to tell everyone this cause they are tired of gossips, rumors, and lies from other people! THEY ALSO SAID THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THIS MESSAGE! HAH
Who wouldn't be angry to find out your husband is cheating on you.
To all the bimbos out there, he said "I Love You" means sorry I'm so dozed up on drugs right now, I don't even know what I'm talking about! They said he was mostly on AMBIEN when he was with them...HELLO?!?! THAT MEANS HE NEVER MEANT ANY OF THOSE THINGS HE SAID TO YOU CAUSE IT WAS ALL THE DRUG TALKING!!! I guess you're all just too gullible to think so since in your tiny little brain you want to believe it's all true! HAH, NOW WHO'S LOOKING PATHETIC AND STUPID!!!

Elin is pretty! If not prettier than that Uchitel woman. Why the heck would Woods cheat on her? I don't get it. Somebody explain?
That witch
what a joke. "sex addiction rehab". I bet $30,000 the first sex rehab was invented by a christian. (Just a guess and theory. I have no way of knowing that as fact). "intensive recovery program" hahahaahhaah. God. I thank god my businesses can be easily moved to asia thanks to the glory of the internet (where 97% of my customers are derived from). My fellow Americans have gone insane and have turned EVERYTHING into a disease or sickness. And it wont be j-apan either because they copy everything we do. There are probably "sex rehab clinics" there too hahahahaha yet they don't even have sex as frequently as us westerners do according to sex surveys. The J-panese need clinics to make them MORE addicted to sex. Oh god!!! I can't stop laughing. I gotta pee now. Now.. .what about an anger management/spousal abuse clinic for her? Sex and lust is not an illness...but violently chasing someone with a golf club is. Oh thats right, white females think they are above the law and ethics. Cheating is wrong but spousal abuse is illegal.
hgbhnb
Good for her. If I ever caught my hudband chearing on me I'd kick his a$$ too. All you tempted married men out there- DIVORCE your wife, don't cheat!
Why is this so shocking? People make bad decisions all the time, and this is and should be a private matter. Regardless of his private life Tiger is a great golfer. I'm sure you would like your indiscretions thrown in your face or made public.
Elin what you did is a good job even though it must have been heartbreaking. It's time to figure out if your so called husband is aware how lucky he is to have you as his wife. Time will tell but you have all the power right now. You can do whatever you want of this "man". Make him big time for what he did to you and make sure that everything he did will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Well done Elin. But I would have hitten very hard where it hurts the most: his balls !!! No man has to treat his wife the way he did. This guy is a loser and a pathetic human being. He denied everything instead of telling the truth and trying to make things. What a coward, liar !! If you see the h__ker Rachel Uglytel please hit her as hard as you can. You can call me if you need some help I would be more than delighted to smash her ugly face of homewrecker. Elin you are not only a gorgeous woman but also a smart one and a fantastic mother. Your kids sure will be proud of you. Go Girl.
I personally think that she shouldn't wait until he has had his "sex rehab". Obviously it has gone too far if he is telling another woman that he "loves her".
I Elin Woods already purchased her one way ticket to Sweden for her and the kids. I also hope the divorce papers are in order so her lawyer can hand them to Tiger as he is walking out of sex rehab for his "disease." Disease??? My ass!!
Mr Woods has proven to be a total loser in all aspects of his life. Yes he is a great golfer but for the rest NOTHING NADA NIENTE RIEN !! This guy is nothing more than a spoiled child who still hides because he can't act like a man. He thought he was so special he could afford everything even hurting so bad his family. I used to be such a huge fan of his and I feel so ashamed right now to have supported such a phoney. Yes this is true that money can't buy class and dignity because Mr Woods must be a multi millionaire he has no principles, morals and values. So sad and pathetic really. When you have everything life can offer and you are still not satisfied well you'd better stay hidden for the rest of your miserable life....
She was too kind.
