(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez) Tiger Woods was seriously hurt in a car crash early this morning outside his home in Orlando, the Florida Highway Patrol reported this afternoon. Alcohol was not a factor. The golf megastar was pulling out of his driveway at less than 33mph—the speed at which airbags deploy—when he struck a fire hydrant and then a neighbor's tree. The highway patrol, which did not report the 2:25am incident until just after 2pm, says charges are pending, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
