Sportsbooks had some big news hit them this past weekend as professional golfer Tiger Woods was in an accident outside his home. Woods is arguably the top athlete in all of sports and the one that affects the odds at the offshore sportsbook the most. Stories are swirling about what really happened to Tiger over the weekend.
Sportsbooks have Woods as a very popular player every time he gets on the golf course. Tiger is popular at sportsbooks now but not for the right reasons. Woods crashed Cadillac Escalade early Friday morning outside his home. Rumors have Woods being involved in a domestic dispute with his wife. Woods has still not talked to police about what happened but he did release a statement on his website. “This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me,” Woods said. “I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Police reports had Woods’ wife Elin using a golf club to smash out a rear window to help him get out of the vehicle after the crash which occurred at 2:25 am on Friday. “The only person responsible for the accident is me,” Woods said. “My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.”
Sportsbooks info had Woods’ account being questioned by many people. What makes everything suspicious is a National Enquirer story that was released saying that Woods had an affair while in Australia. That story was released on the same day as the accident as offshore sportsbook info had it. Some reports have surfaced that had Woods’ wife getting upset about the story and that is why Woods left the house. Woods has been very private with his personal life so it is speculation at the offshore sportsbook as to what really happened. What is clear as sportsbooks notes is that all the facts have not come out about the accident. Questions that have to be asked are why Woods was leaving his house at 2:30 am in the morning and why his wife had a golf club in her hand.
Woods hosts a golf tournament later this sportsbooks week so it will be interesting to see if he shows up and it will be interesting to see the odds at the offshore sportsbook on Tiger. So far Woods has been keeping a low profile as sportsbooks indicate.
