Is still alive:

Rumors of the athlete’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Tiger Woods’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American athlete’s passing.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months.

Recovery:

Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an athlete of Tiger Woods’ stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (92%) of respondents think those Tiger Woods death rumors are not funny anymore.

Accident update:

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department explained about Tiger Woods’ cause of car accident Wednesdays, reporting that he approached a curve in the road, Tiger Woods apparently meant to hit the brakes but instead slammed on the gas, causing a high-speed rollover crash.

Six weeks after the golf legend’s leg injuries following the serious crash, Sheriff Alex Villanueva declared that the main causes of the crash were speed and Woods’ inability to negotiate a curve: the excessive speed of 82-87 mph in a 45-mph zone. 

Tiger probably mistook the gas pedal for the brakes, according to Capt. James Powers.
