Medics respond to call near Tiger Woods' home

WINDERMERE, Fla. — Fire department medics responded overnight to a 911 call in the same block as Tiger Woods' Orlando-area home.

A spokeswoman for Orange County Fire Rescue declined to confirm local news reports that the 2:36 a.m. call came from Woods' home early today or that the patient they saw was a woman. Spokeswoman Genevieve Latham said an adult patient was taken to the hospital.

On Nov. 27, the world's No. 1 golfer crashed his SUV into a hydrant and a tree. The Florida Highway Patrol fined the golfer $164 and cited him for careless driving.

The accident — and Woods' refusal to answer questions about it — fueled speculation about a possible dispute between the golfer and his wife.
