SCRATCH, WHACK, TAKE THAT YOU CHEATING ..........

The following TMZ report is rather at odds with what the local police chief had to say about Tiger Woods’ accident. The chief said Tiger’s wife used a golf club to break out the back window so she could get him out of his wrecked SUV and that the responding officers found him lying in the street with her hovering over him. She told the officers she was inside the house when she heard the crash.

I don’t know which version is correct, but I don’t think Tiger left his house around 2:30 a.m. to get a six pack at the nearest convenience store. And why would his wife run out of the house with a golf club? Sure looks like a spousal spat to me. And sports columnist Mike Lupica has said that it was incredulous to believe that Tiger's wife would use a golf club as the jaws of life.

TIGER WOODS: INJURIES CAUSED BY WIFE, NOT SUV

Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren -- according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident.

Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

We're also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.
