Investigators: No request for Woods' medical records
The Florida Highway Patrol have distanced themselves from reports that they are seeking search warrants for medical records relating to Tiger Woods' facial injuries from last week's car crash.
Speculation continued on Monday as to the events that led to golf's world number one crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant outside his Windemere, Florida, house and then a neighbour's tree, an accident in the early hours of Friday that led to Woods being treated in hospital for facial lacerations.
Reports surfaced on Monday that an FHP source had said the investigating officers were applying for a search warrant to obtain hospital records of Woods' treatment at Ocoee Hospital. A police statement, however, dismissed the suggestion.
"As of Nov. 30, 2009, the Florida Highway Patrol has been unable to speak to Mr Woods about the crash he was involved in on the morning of Nov. 27, 2009, despite attempts to do so," the statement read.
"Mr Woods' representatives have provided us with his driver licence information, vehicle registration and current proof of insurance, as required by Florida Law.
"Contrary to various media reports, the Florida Highway Patrol has not made any comments regarding the details of the ongoing crash investigation involving Tiger Woods as it relates to medical information, or any other aspect of this investigation.
"The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending."
Woods, meanwhile, was due to travel to his native California ahead of this week's Chevron World Challenge tournament, an annual event he hosts to benefit his Tiger Woods Foundation at Sherwood Country Club near Los Angeles.
