WINDERMERE, Florida (AP) — More than two dozen media and a cluster of television trucks camped outside the gates of Isleworth on Saturday waiting for authorities to visit with Tiger Woods and clear up questions about crashing his SUV into a neighbor’s tree.

The Florida Highway Patrol said it expects to release tapes of the emergency call on Sunday, and it will investigate the crash that left Woods’ mouth bloodied as a traffic accident.

Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sergeant Kim Montes said investigators are “trying not to get on the rumor mill.”

Police said the world’s No. 1 golfer smashed his Cadillac into a fire hydrant and a tree near his $2.4 million mansion at 2:25 a.m. Friday. The report said alcohol was not a factor.

Plenty of vivid details from the car crash that sent Woods to the hospital have emerged. His lips were cut, and Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor said Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to smash out a back window and help Woods from the car.

There are also plenty of questions. Troopers planned to speak to Woods on Saturday afternoon.

Montes said the investigation should be finished within the next couple of days.

Woods is to host his Chevron World Challenge next week in Thousand Oaks, California, which benefits his foundation. Woods’ news conference had been scheduled for Tuesday, although it was not clear if he would still play, or even attend.

“We do not know if Tiger is playing, we are anticipating a great week of competition,” said Greg McLaughlin, the tournament director and president of his foundation.

One of Woods’ neighbors, who didn’t want her name to be used, said it was quiet in front of his house on Saturday. She said there are usually two or three cars parked outside his home and that was the scene now as well.

The neighbor said everyone in the gated community was discussing Woods’ crash.

The first word from Woods’ camp — some 13 hours after the crash — was that it was a “minor accident,” and he was in good condition after being treated and released.

In a telephone interview, Woods’ father-in-law, radio journalist Thomas Nordegren, told The Associated Press in Stockholm that he would not discuss the accident.

“I haven’t spoken to her in the last few ... “ Nordegren said about his daughter, Elin, before cutting himself off. “I don’t want to go into that.”

Woods’ mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg also refused to address the matter.

“She doesn’t want to comment on private issues like these,” Holmberg’s spokeswoman Eva Malmborg said.

Asked at a Friday evening news conference if the couple could have been arguing, Saylor said he had no knowledge of that. The couple, married five years, have two children.

The accident came two days after the National Enquirer published a story alleging that Woods had been seeing a New York night club hostess, and that they recently were together in Melbourne, where Woods competed in the Australian Masters.

The woman, Rachel Uchitel, denied having an affair with Woods when contacted by the AP.

“I resent my reputation is getting completely blasted in the media,” she said during a telephone interview late Friday. “Everyone is assuming I came out and said this. This is not a story I have anything to do with.”

Uchitel said she was in Melbourne two weeks ago with clients and never saw Woods the entire time she was there.

“The story stands for itself,” National Enquirer executive editor Barry Levine told the AP on Saturday.
