$$(CNN) -- Golfer Tiger Woods was treated and released after suffering
minor injuries in a car accident early Friday in his central Florida
neighborhood, his publicist said.
Woods, 33, was in a minor accident outside his home, according to a
joint statement from his publicist and Health Central Hospital.
He is in "good condition," the statement said.
The single-vehicle accident occurred about 2:25 a.m. in Windermere, a
suburb of Orlando, according to police. Woods pulled out of his
driveway in a 2009 Cadillac SUV and struck a fire hydrant and then a
tree, according to an incident report from the Florida Highway Patrol
in Orange County.
Police Chief Daniel Saylor said two Windermere police officers were
the first to arrive on the scene.
"There was Tiger Woods laying on the ground in front of the vehicle,
with his wife over him rendering first aid," he said.
"He was in and out of consciousness with lacerations to his upper and
lower lip," Saylor said. "He was mumbling but didn't say anything
coherent."

Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, told police she was inside the house when
she heard the accident. She went outside and used a golf club to break
out the rear window of the vehicle, then pulled him from the SUV, he
said.
"According to the officers, yes, she was very upset," Saylor said.
"Things like this happen all the time. ... I understand he's stable,
and he's fine."
About 10 minutes later, Orange County fire and rescue arrived and took
him to Health Central Hospital, where he was treated and released,
Saylor said.

The crash is under investigation, and charges are pending, the police
report said, though it was not clear who could face charges. The
accident did not appear to be alcohol-related, the Florida Highway
Patrol statement said.
Highway patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes said Woods had been taken to the
hospital by the time a trooper arrived. Police have not spoken to the
athlete, though they plan to, she said.
Saylor said the vehicle's front end was damaged.
The 33-year-old golf phenomenon has won the Masters Tournament and the
PGA Tournament each four times, as well as three U.S. Open
Championships.
He was set to host and play in the Chevron World Challenge on Monday
at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. Woods has won
the tournament -- which helps raise money for Tiger Woods Foundation
programs -- four times.
Woods has won six times on the PGA tour this year after returning from
knee surgery. In a post on his blog last month, Woods said he was
"absolutely thrilled" about his PGA Tour.
He added, "this has been one of my most consistent years on the PGA
Tour."
Woods lives in Orange County with his wife and two young children.
