Remember these celeb scandals?
TMZ has reported that Woods and his wife Elin were arguing about the alleged fling just before the crash.
But Maj. Williams added said there were "no claims of domestic violence by any individual" in the case and that were was "insufficient evidence" to try to seek Woods' medical records.

Tell Us What You Think
16We only know about this because we know him. This happens everyday to us "regular folks". I found out my husband cheated on me AFTER he left me. I was furious...and when I confronted him (on the phone) he denied it. Imagine that. It's up to her what she wants to do...it's not up to us. He chose poorly if he did cheat...let them work it out and the media needs to stay out of it, too. (Wonder when Oprah will have him on her show?!? lol)
KIM- i see that you are trying to make some kind of point here. can you use proper grammar at the very least so people can actually UNDERSTAND what you are trying to say?
Good thing theres another no class woman waiting to dish all the dirt on their affair! How do these people live with themselves that is not something that you should be proud of and feel you need to prove. You are ruining other peoples lives. Well worth the 100$ cheque she probably got from the national enquirer! Making women look bad on top of it.
First, this story has nothing to do with who is wat race u dumba$$ and THis is obviously his fault, but she ruined his career and his life for tht matter. But he brought all this F*ck on himself for cheating on her. He better watch his back cuz if he was my husband I Would kick his A$$ long time ago for humiliating me publicly. She needs to dump his a$$ on the street! And im glad his f*cking career is done and ovr with, nevr liked him anyway.
kim i am not a racist but my husband did cheat and i did beat the s--t out of him.i am 5 feet and he is 6 feet
This is HILARIOUS...this happens every day, and becuase we all know who he is he is supposed to answer everyone here. SAD!
monique you got to be kidding,if that was my husband he would of never made it to the door.
Monique - there's no evidence that his wife beat him/hit him with anything, and he's not saying she did, so therefore she's off the hook. But if it's true, then Tiger had better watch his back - next time it could be a knife in his back instead of a golf club thru the back window.
Leave the man alone - Whatever the problem is it is between Tiger and his wife. Some reporters will stop at nothing to get money no matter who it hurts!!!!! elaine
Money talks - BS walks
Glad the case is closed!
Cover up and pay off. Who didn't know this outcome???!!!
Bring it to Judge Judy - she'll determine if it's real or hoax.
There was no evidence any criminal activity took place by anyone so the headline is misleading. The media and the cops were unprofessional in the way they handled this story. Hopefully this country of busy bodies moves on and leaves this family alone.
Woods is a lucky, rich, cheating scumbag.
His wife should be the one charge with domestic abuse.
