State troopers arrived at the home of Tiger Woods on Saturday to interview the pro golfer and his wife about a car crash near his home but were told the couple was not available to talk as scheduled, a spokeswoman for the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The troopers were asked by Woods’ agent to postpone the interview until Sunday, spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes told CNN. She said she didn’t know whether a reason was given.
Troopers had also tried to speak to Woods on Friday as part of a routine car accident investigation, but his wife said he was sleeping, Montes said. Troopers decided they would come back Saturday afternoon.
While Woods is required to show his license, registration and proof of insurance, he’s not obligated by state law to give a statement on the crash. However, it’s “very unusual” not to do so, Montes said.
“We simply want to ask why did he crash his car,” she said, adding, “All we’re trying to do is get his side of the story.”
Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, did not respond to requests for comment Saturday.
