(CNN) -- Golfer Tiger Woods has been taken to a Florida hospital after being injured in a car wreck near his Windermere home early Friday, officials said.

The one-car accident occurred about 2:25 a.m., according to an incident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.

Woods, 33, had just pulled out of his driveway and begun to drive down the street when his Cadillac SUV struck a fire hydrant, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The front of his vehicle then struck a tree. He has been transported to Health Central Hospital, the statement said.

The crash is under investigation and charges are pending, though it was not clear who could face charges. The accident did not appear to have been alcohol-related, the statement said.

Oh man.. I hope he's okay.

Guess the Asian gene had to kick in sometimes.

lol

such sketchy details... 2am, no alcohol involved, fire hydrant + tree and no airbag deployment?

Sounds like a booty call gone wrong.

Edit: "The newspaper said that airbags typically do not deploy if a vehicle is traveling less than 33 miles per hour." How do you get seriously injured when driving so slow?

I heard someone on cnn reporting that he had face lacerations.

It does sound rather odd. You'd hate to think the negative about athletes these dyas, but sometimes you have to.

Fucking weird, this dude popped up in a dream I just had, which would definitely be the first time I've ever dreamed about Tiger Woods, or golf, ever.

He's the last person on earth that should have issues driving.

[archibaldcrane]

Bravo.

[Tyche]

Maybe he needs a new driver.

[Headspace]

He certainly wedged his car in there good.

Obviously the car was just putting along.

Think any of his fellow golfers will chip in for the medical costs?

[Akiyama]

My mother's called me over and over about this shit. I'm pretty fucking sure CBS and ESPN will update this story about 3000 times throughout the weekend, and I'm already sick of it. Hope he gets better, but oh god here comes the Media Blitzkrieg.

[Rhinox]

How this doesn't effect his handicap.

[Mizango]

Saw that about an hour ago, shit is fucked up.

Best wide receiver to ever play the game and only reason I'm a fan of the Cowboys. RIP
