Professional golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured in a car accident early this morning, the Florida Highway Patrol just reported.

Woods, 33, pulled out of his driveway in the Isleworth community about 2:25 a.m. when he struck a fire hydrant, and then drove into a tree at his neighbor's property, FHP reported.

Woods was transported to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee in serious condition, FHP said. His airbags did not deploy, which, according to the report, means that he was going less than 33 mph.

There is an investigation underway, and "charges are pending."

MSNBC is reporting is that he was in a Cadillac SUV, and it was non-alcohol related. The incident happened early this morning, around 2:30 a.m. in Florida.

UPDATE: Per MSNBC, Woods has been released from the hospital (according to Mayor Gary Bruhn, and he was sure of that information). He has facial lacerations, says the Windermere mayor. He believes it's nothing more than an accident, despite the ongoing investigation. He believes nothing "unusual" was going on, just a rather strange accident.

UPDATE: A statement from his publicist: Tiger was in a minor car accident, admitted, treated, and released in good condition.
