tonight, superstar golf phenomenon tiger woods leaving his home bare foot at 2:00 a.m. after thanksgiving day celebrations, driving out of his multimillion dollar compound and has a major smashup with a tree and a fire hydrant. his young wife, mother of his two children, reportedly hears the crash from inside the house. runs out and beats out both back windows of woods' cadillac. woods refusing to talk to police, not once, not twice, but three times. and why? why did a neighbor have to call

911? we have the 911 call. woods pulling out of his own golf tournament after rumors of an alleged affair between tiger woods and a nightclub hostess hit the newsstands just hours before the so-called crash. >> is he conscious or unconscious? >> at that point he was snoring. >> he was snoring? >> he was actually snores. >> did she say anything to you? >> no. she was actually very quiet. she was in shock. she wasn't very verbal. >> it is a black escalade. >> what's happened? >> tiger woods finds himself in a public relations bunker, and police are in the rough. >> is he conscious, unconscious? >> he was unconscious. i didn't hear the snoring part. i wasn't as close. but i never saw him open his eyes or anything.

>> what happened? what's wrong. >> i have a neighbor, he hit the tree. we came out here to see what is going on. >> you mean there was an auto accident? >> yes. there was an auto accident. >> hey, it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please take your name off your phone. my wife went through my phone and may be calling you. if you can, please take your name off that. just have it as your telephone number. okay. you got to do this for me, huge, quickly. all right. bye. >> i believe he was already on the ground when i got out there. >> on the passenger's side or the driver's side? >> i believe the passenger. >> was he in the street? >> okay.

he was on the street on the side. >> his wife. >> tiger woods makes a public admission and says he regrets his transgressions. the sports superstar is addressing tabloid speculation set off by his one-vehicle wreck last week in florida, he is apologizing for personal failings. >> did you smell alcohol? >> no alcohol. no any other kind of drug whatsoever. none. zero. >> joining us, drew, near tiger woods' home. >> this interview with investigators, they talked to the neighbors of tiger woods. one of the most interesting things that came out of that interview is that tiger woods was actually passed out cold, knocked out by the time they got out there early that morning. what exactly knocked him out is unclear. they say there was no signs of alcohol or drugs. by the time they got out there, he was out cold. another interesting fact we learned from the interview is

the neighbor actually heard 10 to 15 minutes of a knocking sound before they came downstairs. whether that was her, the wife knocking on tiger woods' window trying to wake him up or her knocking on their window trying to get someone's attention, we're not exactly clear yet. another thing that's interesting, i talked to somebody close to the family and they said that that sound of somebody saying what happened. that was actually tiger woods' mother. she was in the house when this whole thing happened. very exciting, interesting new developments from this interview. >> well, nancy, we've also learned that not only was tiger woods' mother there, but elin nordegren, his wife's mother was there as well. they both came out of the house. they were all standing there while elin nordegren was tending to her husband, tiger woods. now, the neighbor described tiger as having a cut lip. bleeding from the mouth as if maybe he bit his lip in the accident. however, we don't know very much of what might have led up to the accident.

kim serafin from "in touch weekly" may have heard about possible more damage inside the house. >> well, again, this all goes back to the original rumors that were swirling around. once we first heard about the accident. of course, everyone was saying, was this precipitated by a fight inside the house. now, reports have been coming out, was it because of text messages that tiger wads was receiving. did they have a fight? was this domestic violence? is that what caused his injuries? this all goes back to the fight whether a fight actually happened in the house or whether his injuries came from his accident. >> well, and also, drew, do we know anymore about why this alleged mistress, rachel uchitel, abruptly canceled that scheduled news conference? >> not exactly sure. leading up to that news conference, we all thought this is where she was going to come clean and say she lied in her original statement to the "new york post," i believe it was, that everything was made up,

that she didn't have an affair. but she has a pretty famous and well-schooled lawyer out there in l.a. so behind the scenes they must have made the decision that this is what's best moving forward. >> well, and gloria allred is one of the most skilled, most well-known lawyers in hollywood. she was the one who was representing, or is representing rachel uchitel. she has not commented. she has not either denied nor confirmed any sort of payout to uchitel. and kim serafin, what exactly do we know about rachel uchitel and other alleged mistress? >> well, as you know, this press conference is what got a lot of coverage. because gloria allred knows how to do a press conference. when rachel hired gloria, it made people speculate what might happen. the press conference was scheduled wednesday night, it was supposed to be thursday morning. it was canceled because of unforeseen circumstances i believe is what they said. now, there were some rumors

swirling that it might have been -- there might have been some conversations between rachel and tiger. there was talk of, was there a payout. then now it's come out, no, there is not a payout. tmz is reporting that rachel is keeping silent because she's scared. so it's very interesting all of these details that are kind of leaking out, but so much of it is rumor, so much of it is speculation. we really don't know at this point. >> and also, take a look at these photos. these are modeling pictures of tiger woods' wife. and these were taken back when she was living in sweden. she apparently didn't really care about modeling, according to the photographer who discovered her. she would rather be a student. she actually quit modeling after she had taken a few of these pictures, went back to school to study child psychiatry, or child psychology. and this -- she also negotiated a deal. as soon as she became famous, linked to tiger woods, she went back to this photographer who had discovered her, negotiated a

deal with him about which photographs he would release to the public. so she's a very smart, shrewd business woman in that account. now, drew, do we know anything about a prenup that elin nordegren may have signed? >> yeah, that's very interesting. apparently there's some clause in the prenup where they would have had to have been together for a certain amount of time. for the payment to be made. but we understand now that that's being renegotiated, i think it was very interesting to adhere that tiger woods is still here in orlando, kind of holed up in his mansion there. we understand they're going through intense marriage counseling. so he has professionals coming in to try to work this out. we also understand there's been a large sum of money put into an account controlled by tiger woods' wife as kind of a gesture of good faith, that tiger really wants to try to work this thing out. >> drew, what exactly -- you said the payout before would be $20 million, is that correct? >> that's the figure that i've heard so far. of course, i haven't seen personally the legal jargon, or what would you have to say with this.

i'm not exactly sure what the contract reads. but some of the reports we've heard figure as high as $20 million. >> wow. so she gets $5 million now, just for signing this renegotiated prenup. then she would get -- and this is what the daily beast is reporting -- if she stays for another seven years, they've been married for five years at this point, if she stays for another seven years she'll get $75 million. if she only stays for another two years, she still gets $55 million. one thing, do we know, kim serafin, are they in any sort of counseling? is there any sort of negotiation going on right now? >> they are apparently, according to reports, in counseling. now, there is this new report out about a renegotiated prenup. initially the report says that her prenup was that she would get $20 million after staying with tiger for ten years. but according to the report, this renegotiation would give

her $5 million up front, and then $55 million if she stays with him for another two years. and then up to $80 million to stay with him for another seven years. according to this report. >> well, and drew, do we know, i know we touched on this briefly, but is there any sort of payout to these other women that are allegedly linked to tiger woods? do we know about any money changing hands, either from tiger woods to these women, or do they get paid to tell their story? >> well, i know there was a large sum of money paid out for that audio recording that tiger woods allegedly left on one of his mistress' answering machine, i think upwards of $150,000. whether the uchitel -- miss uchitel was paid out, she's denying that. reports that say she hasn't received any money from tiger. so it's a very shady situation. some money is being paid out. but at this time it doesn't seem like tiger is paying anyone to keep quiet. >> also, it sounds like tiger woods' wife said very little to these neighbors as she was comforting them. she apparently just told the neighbor, i need help.

please help me. please call 911. then she said nothing else after that. she just attended to tiger woods, never said anything about what had precipitated this early-morning crash the night after thanksgiving. >> yeah, right. when i talked to this person, somebody that's very close to the family of tiger woods' neighbor, they said they're really confused as to what actually happened. you know, when they first saw it, it seemed like a crash, cut and dried. but when these details come out, they think, was there a fight, what actually caused this crash. that's the biggest question, what caused the crash? >> now, let's talk about when mr. woods was laying there. could you see, you obviously were standing right over him and got blankets over him. can you describe any injuries you saw? >> just the lacerations on his lip. >> up ir lip or bottom lip?

>> i couldn't tell. between the two. >> when you say laceration, was there a lot of blood? >> not a lot. >> would it be like a bloody nose? >> right. maybe if you might have bitten your lip. not on his shirt, nothing on his hands. i was holding him still and i didn't get any blood on me whatsoever. >> you were holding him still? >> trying to keep his neck. >> did you see any broken bones. >> no.

what happened? what's wrong? >> i have a neighbor.

he hit the tree. i see him. he is laying down. >> you mean there was an auto accident? >> yes. >> my two officers arrived at the scene and noticed tiger woods laying on the ground in front of his vehicle with his wife over him rendering first aid. >> this situation is my fault, woods says, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. i'm human and i'm not perfect. i will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again. >> everybody wants to know, all right. what happened? what does tiger woods have to tell us? >> he was backing out of his driveway and hit a fire hydrant and subsequently hit a tree. and this is in his escalade. and as such, you know, suffered some injuries. >> his wife came out of the house when she heard the accident, him hitting the fire hydrant. used a golf club, is what we were told, to break out the rear window to gain entrance. >> my wife elin acted courageously when she saw i was

hurt and in trouble, woods said. she was the first person to help me. any other assertion is absolutely false. >> every time you stonewall the cops three days in a row, you look like you're hiding something, or looking like you're guilty or something. >> as tiger woods reportedly hovers in and out of consciousness, a neighbor claims woods' wife asked them to call 911. new photos of tiger woods' cadillac emerge. take a listen to what unfolds next. >> looked at the headlights. saw the headlights shining out. i went out there, i went out there to see exactly who it was, what it was, what was going on. i went out there and i saw tiger on the ground. i saw elin talking to him. i immediately ran back into the house, got the phone dialed 911. and ran back in the house again to see if she needed any

assistance. at that point i instructed my sister while i'm on the phone with the 911 operator, i instructed my sister to come back in the house and get pillows and blankets for tiger because it was cold outside and obviously he is laying on the ground. so my sister comes back in the house and i'm on the phone with the op rar tor. she got pillows and we wrapped him up and basically just waited until the authorities arrived. i tried to keep everyone kind of calm or whatever the case may be. >> okay. we are going to backtrack. which side of the vehicle was he on? >> i believe he was situated on the ground. >> on the passenger side of the vehicle or the driver side?

>> i believe the passenger. >> was he in the street or was he still -- >> he was in the street. >> okay. who else was with him? >> his wife. >> her name is? >> elin. >> was he conscious or unconscious? >> at that point he was snoring, actually snoring. >> did she say anything to you? >> no. she was very quiet. she was in shock. just kind of sitting there. she wasn't very verbal. >> did she ask you for any help or anything? >> yeah. when i went out there she said can you please help me whatever the case may be. other than that i don't recall me and her ever -- >> was there anything else out there besides her? any other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic? >> no. >> nothing parked on the road?

>> i believe a golf cart was out there. >> let's talk about when there woods was laying there. you could see him. could you describe any injuries you saw. >> just the lacerations that were on his lip. >> on his lip. upper lip or bottom lip? >> i couldn't tell. between the two. >> was there a lot of blood? >> not a lot. not a lot. >> would it be like if he had a bloody nose? >> right. maybe if you might have bitten your lip. nothing on his shirt. nothing on his hands. i was holding him still at one point and i didn't get any blood. i was trying to keep him still. >> did you see any broken bones or anything like that? >> no. okay. what about yourself, ma'am? >> no. just on the lip. >> no other contusions?

no big cuts? >> no. he was clean.

911, what's your emergency? >> i have -- this is -- i need an ambulance immediately. i have someone down in front of my house. they hit a pole. >> the florida highway patrol has concluded its investigation of the vehicle crash involving mr. tiger woods. the investigation has determined that mr. woods is at fault in the crash. >> after he crashed his suv, investigators found tiger woods on the ground without any shoes. the florida highway patrol

released the audio taped interviews with neighbors who rushed to help him. jarius adams says he put a blanket on tiger and pillows under his head. >> in the street or was he still -- >> he was in the street. >> he's in the street on the side. okay. and who else was there with him? >> his wife. >> and her name is elin? >> elin. >> was he conscious, unconscious? >> at that point he was snoring. >> he was snoring? >> he was actually snoring. >> hey, it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please take your name off your phone? my wife went through my phone and may be calling you. so if you can, please take your name off that. >> more breaking details continue to emerge. take a listen. >> now, let's talk about when mr. woods was laying there. could you see -- you obviously were standing right over him, and got the blankets over him.

can you describe any injuries that you saw? >> just -- just the lacerations that were on his lip. >> on his lip? upper lip or bottom lip? >> i couldn't tell. i mean, between the two. i don't know. >> between the two. when we say lacerations, was there a lot of blood? >> not a lot. >> would it be like a bloody nose or something like that? >> maybe if you had bitten your lip, something like that. nothing on his shirt, nothing on his hands. i was holding him still at one point and i didn't get any blood on me whatsoever. >> and you were holding his head? >> i was trying to keep him still. just to make sure his neck and spine wasn't -- >> exactly, exactly. did you see any broken bones or anything like that? >> no, no. >> how about yourself, ma'am? >> no, just the blood on the lip. >> no scratches, no other contusions, nothing like that?

no big cuts from anything? >> no, no. >> he was clean? >> pretty much clean. >> since you were the initial person out there and you actually orchestrated getting the blankets and pillows for him, during the time that you were as close to him as you got, did you smell any alcohol on him? >> no alcohol. no any -- any other kind of drug whatsoever. none. >> zero? >> zero. >> did you get close enough you think you would have smelled him drinking? >> yes. >> and you did not smell it? >> not at all. >> did you or you ma'am, did either of you see a golf club out there near the vehicle? >> no. >> or in the area? >> i saw two sitting in the seat of the golf cart. >> nancy, the people that you hear talking on this tape are jarius adams and his sister kimberly. they were apparently both asleep and actually kimberly said she heard this sound, like a continuous knocking. very faint. she at first thought that maybe somebody in the house had forgotten their keys. so she went downstairs to kind of investigate, figure out what

was going on. that's when she said she saw headlights shining into their house. so she woke up her brother. he went outside. he sees tiger woods laying there on the street. he sees elin nordegren, tiger's wife. elin then asked him for help. what isn't clear, and drew petrimoulx, tell me if i'm wrong about this, we still don't know exactly if the neighbors heard anything or not. is there various reports whether anyone heard an argument before this happened? >> these neighbors didn't. there are reports other neighbors did. but i looked at an aerial shot of how that neighborhood is laid out, and it seemed to me it would be really hard for any of the other neighbors to hear anything. these are really huge houses. and across the street is a golf course. and so the only neighbor that's next to -- or even remotely close to tiger woods' house is pretty far off in the corner of that street. so it would strike me as really strange if any other neighbors were able to hear it. those are big houses and they're far apart. so it would seem to me to be pretty difficult for another neighbor to hear a fight, even

if there was one. >> and kim serafin, what does elin nordegren, tiger's wife say? did she hear the crash? why did she end up outside? >> again, this is really interesting, because we don't really know much about elin. now, according to these neighbors, she was there. she was -- she asked for help, but she was kind of in shock. she was apparently very quiet. really focused on tiger, asked for help, but that was about it. but it sort of goes hand in hand with what we know about elin. which is not much. like tiger, she is very, very private. we really haven't heard much from her. she's not that typical celebrity wife that goes along and, you know, starts a clothing line or does a lot of interviews. she's been with tiger at his golf games. that's about it. we know that she was, of course, a beautiful former swimsuit model who really gave up modeling for education. but other than that, she really stayed very private. didn't want to live that celebrity life.

apparently told people, or people have said she never wanted to be a celebrity wife, celebrity girlfriend. she didn't want to be tiger's arm candy. staying with this whole privacy issue. important to both her and tiger. >> she was attending to tiger woods after this crash. and it's interesting, because when he was first admitted into the hospital, the first reports we were hearing, the police report, it says that his injuries were serious. however, he was apparently treated for a bit, released a few hours later. now we're hearing this neighbor saying that he was snoring. i don't understand the snoring. dr. marty mckarri, why would a person be snoring after a car accident? >> we recognize heavy breathing or snoring to be the hallmark feature of temporary loss of consciousness. a head injury can quickly put someone into a deep sleep and the body will repeatedly gas of for air. it's sort of a fight-and-flight response, as we say. snoring is a function of loss of consciousness and related to your head positioning and any swelling in the airway area. we know that he had an injury to the lip.

so it does make sense. >> the lip injury, could that have been either striking the steering wheel, or could it be something as simple as he bit his lip when he crashed the car? >> right now it appears it could have been either of the two. what we do know, and i would feel comfortable concluding that he does appear to have sustained a concussion. a concussion is simply somebody who lost consciousness temporarily and then had a normal head scan. because quite honestly, that's the only way you can get out of a hospital after any kind of head injury. so we know he was rushed to health central hospital. the troopers described his injuries as incapacitating. but that could be difficult to assess in the urgency of getting someone to a hospital. and he was treated and released the same day, which is a common pathway for any trauma patient with a mild concussion and a normal head scan after a car accident. >> and we didn't learn much about tiger's injuries, of

course, those hospital reports have still been kept secret. the highway patrol actually came out and said they had no probable cause to obtain any medical records. they wouldn't say if there was any blood taken. we do know that tiger woods was not given a breathalyzer test. his blood and urine were not tested for drugs or alcohol. so we don't know much about that at this point. but we do know that all tiger woods has said about his injuries, and remember, he pulled out of his own golf tournament, he said that he had cuts, he had bruises, and he was very sore. but no more details about what injuries tiger woods actually has. >> since you were the initial person out there and you actually orchestrated getting the blankets and the pillows for him. >> yes, sir. >> you were as close to him as

you got, did you smell any alcohol? >> no alcohol. no any other drug whatsoever. >> zero? >> zero. >> did you get close enough you think you would have smelled it? >> yes. >> and you did not smell it? >> not at all. >> did you or you ma'am see a golf club? >> no. no. >> i saw two sitting in the seat of the golf cart.

>> on the ground when i got out

there. >> on the passenger's side of the vehicle, or the driver's side? >> i believe the passenger. >> was he in the street or was he still -- >> he was in the street. >> okay. and who else was there with him? >> his wife. >> and her name is elin? >> elin. >> and was he conscious, unconscious? >> at that point, he was snoring. >> he was snoring? >> he was actually snoring. >> okay. did she say anything to you? >> no. i mean, at this point -- she was actually very quiet. just kind of in shock. >> to max ine paige. how far away from his home was woods when he had a head-on collision with a tree and a fire hydrant? >> it was very close. it was just outside his house. >> i understand it was about two houses away? >> correct. it was a neighbor's house, yes.

>> so he was two houses away. but his wife says she heard him hit a tree two houses away from inside tiger woods' home? >> that's what she says, yes. >> okay. now, she hears the crash, according to her, and she races out with a golf club? >> there's been two conflicting stories. one story she said she ran out and the other story she said she actually drove a golf cart. but yeah, she appeared on the scene with a golf club and smashed out the window of the suv. >> maxine, you said two conflicting stories. from where are they coming? who's giving conflicting statements? >> she has, elin has. two different statements. she said first of all that she ran there, and the second statement she said she was in a golf cart. >> and with her, she happened to bring a golf club? >> very handy, she brought a golf club with her, yes. >> and masine paige, she beat out the back windows of the vehicle in order to pull him out

of the driver's front -- the driver's seat? >> correct. apparently she smashed out the back window, got into the car and pulled him out. >> okay. maxine, one more clarification. it's my understanding she smashed out both back windows, right and left, yes/no? >> yes, correct. >> why? why smash out both windows? >> that's the question. i mean, it seems like excessive force. also, to smash the back windows seemed strange when he was in the front. but yeah, she smashed out both back windows. >> maxine -- >> yes. >> -- the likelihood of this incident occurring the same day as the enquirer hits the stands. now, in new york, the enquirer can hit the stands or thursday, which is thanksgiving. then it gets to the rest of the country, friday, saturday, sunday, monday, sometimes later.

but i believe it's on the front page of the enquirer about an alleged affair between tiger woods and a hostess -- what is a hostess for a nightclub? whatever. that alleged affair which the lady denies, and woods denies, hits the stands that day. and a couple of hours, smashup, and wife runs out of the house, or comes out in a golf cart armed with a golf club. thoughts? >> it's a big coincidence. we've got reports saying that they had a heated argument over this woman. and over the affair. and that he told her that she totally spoiled their thanksgiving before running out of the house. >> of course, nobody can know what went on inside that house. it can't be confirmed whether he or she told people. it happens that night. maxine page, isn't the hostess denying the affair? >> she has denied it. she's come out and denied it. but there's a lot of inconsistents in her story.

>> to you, barry levine, executive editor of the "national enquirer." you guys are the ones that broke the story originally about the alleged affair. both tiger woods and the woman deny the affair. of course, we don't know if there was a domestic dispute in the home because there's no witness inside the home? >> that's correct, nancy. i mean, at this point, you know, we are standing by our story. obviously an argument took place, from what we've been told. we specifically reported the day before the accident that tiger was involved in a cheating scandal with a woman named rachel uchitel, a new york city party girl. that rachel had gone in mid-november to australia to hook up with tiger. we followed her based on source

information from new york halfway around the world to australia. we saw her go into tiger's hotel, check into the hotel, get off on the 35th floor of the hotel where tiger was staying. of course, rachel is denying this. but we feel very comfortable with our report. we have multiple sources -- >> just let me ask you this, mr. levine. >> sure. >> has anybody threatened to sue you over the story alleging libel or slander? >> no. we have not received any threats of a lawsuit. tiger's people denied the story. when we went to them for comment, rachel denied the story. and i'm told she has an attorney, a great attorney, gloria allred out in los angeles. but we have not received any communication on -- >> that's one of the last things i would want is gloria allred chewing my behind. i can tell you that much, mr.

levine. so no threat of a lawsuit right now. now, mr. levine, let me ask you this. the alleged other woman gave her side of the story -- hold on, let me go to ellie jostad. ellie, i know this woman is denying the affair. what does she say? >> rachel uchitel gave a long interview to the "new york post" -- >> i think i would call it rambling. she kept saying the same thing over and over. >> this interview apparently took place last week before she was using the services of gloria allred. she tells the post the story is ridiculous. she said a word of it is not true. she said the sources were just out for a pay day. she said she only met tiger twice, short meetings, never spoke to him on the phone. and she says they are not having an affair. >> okay. barry levine, back to you, the executive editor of the "national enquirer." mr. levine, what is your response to the things that the so-called other woman had to say, giving her side of the

story? >> yeah, i read her account today and on her website today we posted a point-by-point denial. she's in a damage control mode. we believe in our sources. our sources passed polygraph tests. and in addition to that, we saw with our own eyes rachel uchitel go to australia to meet with tiger woods. tiger's people denied the story. when we went to them for comment, rachel denied the story. i'm told that she has an attorney, a great attorney, gloria alred, out in los angeles. we have not received communication on -- >> that's one of the last things i would want is gloria alred chewing my behind. i can tell you that, mr. lavigne. >> i have someone down in front of my house. they hit a pole.

>> it is a car accident? sir, is it a car accident? hello. sir?
