Dunya News

After five days of speculation about Tiger Woods' crash outside his mansion, the Florida Highway Patrol announced Tuesday it gave the world's No. 1 golfer a traffic ticket. Woods already has paid the $164 fine, court records show. Woods, 33, drove carelessly when he steered his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and then into a neighbor's tree about 2:25 a.m. Friday, troopers said. In addition to the fine, he received four points on his driving record, FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said. During a brief news conference, Montes insisted that the world-famous athlete had not received special treatment.
