Tiger Woods is expected to talk with police for the first time today, following his early morning car crash on Friday.



Officers travelled to Woods' Florida home yesterday, but were reportedly told to return today by his agent.



Meanwhile, a neighbour's 911 call, reporting the crash, could be made public, as ABC News released pictures of Woods's damaged Cadillac following the collision.



The world's number one golfer was reportedly injured outside his home after he crashed into a tree at low speed in the exclusive neighbourhood of Windermere, in the suburbs of Orlando, Florida.



Police attending the scene said they found a dazed and bleeding Woods being tended to by his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods. Nordegren told police she had smashed a window in the car with a golf club to drag her husband out of the locked vehicle. Woods was taken to hospital, but quickly released, and is apparently in good health.



Police tried to talk to Woods, 33, on Friday night, but officers were told by his wife that he was sleeping. They were denied the opportunity again yesterday by Woods' agent.



Sergeant Kim Montes said: Florida Highway Patrol has received information that Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to be interviewed by state troopers, as we had previously scheduled. This announcement came from his agent. Troopers were asked to return tomorrow.



Montes told the New York Daily News that Woods is not required to speak with troopers, but must produce his licence, insurance and registration because the crash is being investigated as a car accident.



A statement on Tiger Woods' website said simply that he was in a minor car accident outside his home and is in good condition. But it seems the longer Woods refuses to talk to police, the more internet rumours are fuelled.



Mystery over the crash intensified over the weekend, with gossip website TMZ posting a series of stories suggesting the world number one golfer was attacked by Nordegren.



TMZ claimed the couple had been arguing over Woods's alleged relationship with New York hostess Rachel Uchitel. The website claimed Woods was confronted by his wife over the reports before the argument grew heated. According to TMZ's source, the golfer fled in his car with his wife chasing behind.



The website also claims that Nordegren has changed the story she initially gave to police, but says it cannot be more specific.



Woods is well known for his fiercely guarded private life, and rarely speaks to the media, having reportedly been displeased with an interview he gave to GQ in 1997.



But it is unlikely interest surrounding the incident will subside soon. '#TigerWoodsWife' and 'Tiger Woods' are trending topics on Twitter, and speculation is likely to continue following Woods's expected meeting with police later today.
 
Overrated; tired of hearing about the Tiger Woods incident. It was an accident and he'll pay for the damages, now may we all move on? I've seen news channels over this situation as if it was 9/11 all over again. Honestly, no big deal and it should be left alone. Tiger has a life, now let's get ours and move on with it.

I wonder if he was all hopped up on perscriptions or something. They said he was dazed and seemed intoxicated but wasnt drunk.
 
He has cancelled his 3rd interview with the police. He has given them all the info that state law requires--driver's license, proof of insurance, and registration.....
