Tiger Woods At Rehab Facility In Arizona, Possibly Recovering From Reconstructive Surgery On His Face!

X17online was the first to report that Tiger Woods entered an upscale rehab facility in Arizona, and while recent reports claim Tiger was in Palm Beach with alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel over the weekend, no one has come forward with pictures or additional information to prove it.
While rehab certainly couldn't hurt Tiger's reputation or his marriage, sports columnist Furman Bisher claims that he's received a "legitimate message" from a "trustworthy journalist" that explains what really went down back in November, and how Tiger went to Arizona for reconstructive surgery on his face! While several media outlets are questioning the lengthy message, it certainly seems like large chunks of it have some truth to them.
The message claims that wife Elin Nordegren found a text (and other damning evidence) from Rachel Uchitel on Tiger's cell phone, and when the golf champ returned home from a poker game with the boys on the night of November 26, she tried to talk with him about it. Here's an excerpt from the infamous (and anonymous) message:
- "At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 – iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club throughout the hallway to the garage (i.e. causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade."
After the incident, a doctor supposedly told Tiger's agent Mark Steinberg that he knew of a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic dentist in Arizona where Tiger could go to have his face fixed, which would help keep reporters and photographers off his back in Florida. Tiger and Mark flew out and stayed in Phoenix for several days as Tiger recovered from the operations which were much "more intense than what they had originally planned."
Though it's been reported that Tiger returned to Florida after he was partially healed, no one has any physical proof of his whereabouts, and since it sounds like his face was pretty bashed up, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that he was hiding out somewhere like a rehab facility in Arizona. I mean, why not keep a low profile, let your face heal and treat your sex (and possible drug) addiction all at once? Seems pretty logical to us!
Click after the jump to read the complete message which details Elin and Tiger's squabble along with the surgery he's reportedly had to repair his battered face...
I have a Member who lives 10 houses down from Tiger in Isleworth. As we know Tiger’s agent is Mark Steinberg. My Member plays golf and is real good friends with another IMG Agent; who is very good friends with Steinberg and they share the same office. This information came from the other IMG Agent to my Member, and then to me today, and according to them is up to date as yesterday when my Member left Orlando.
On Thanksgiving Day, after he and Elin and the family had turkey dinner, he spent the rest of the afternoon on the couch watching football and texting Rachel. After each received and sent text message he would clear his message box to rid himself of the evidence. Sometime in between there, one of his Orlando buds called him to see if he wanted to get together at the Clubhouse to play poker with the guys, to which Tiger said yes. Tiger left the house around 7:30 to go play poker, and left behind his cell phone….and one message he had forgot to delete from Rachel.
When Tiger returned home around 11:30 -12 that night, Elin confronted him about the text message in the phone, and the started a heated discussion to its regards. According to what I was told, there was more “incriminating evidence” than just the text message (i.e. photos). Tiger tried to play it off to Elin by telling her she was reading too much in to it, and did not know the story, etc. Tiger went upstairs to change into his gym shorts and t – shirt, came back down, and Elin confronted him again; to which Tiger gave the same story. Tiger sat down in a chair in the living room, and Elin sat across from him urging Tiger to just come clean. Tiger stayed to his guns and denied everything. At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 – iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club throughout the hallway to the garage (i.e. causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade. When Tiger crashed, Elin panicked and was not sure what to tell the police (which is why there are two conflicting stories from her). When this happened, Elin immediately called Mark Steinberg to tell him what happened, and Mark told Elin to tell him what hospital they were going to, and he would meet them there.
Tiger is transported to the hospital with Elin in the ambulance, and as they arrive Mark is there waiting for them. The people from the hospital and the doctors take Tiger in for X-Rays etc to check out the damage caused. The doctors tell Mark there is not much they can do to repair the teeth and the gash, but the doctor knows a cosmetic dentist and plastic surgeon in Phoenix who will make Tiger look as if nothing happened. Tiger tells Mark to get the jet ready and let’s head to Phoenix to get this done. Friday after Tiger is released from the hospital, he does not return home; he and Mark board the plane for Phoenix. If you remember FHP kept showing up at Isleworth to talk to Tiger, and was told by another FL attorney (who Tiger hired for PR reasons) Tiger was not ready to talk. Well now we know why, he was in Phoenix, and did not arrive back in Orlando until either late last Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. The surgeries were more intense than what they had originally planned, which meant Tiger was in PHX longer than he should have been. Upon arriving back in Orlando, Tiger and Elin have been in intense marriage counseling sessions (up to 6 to 7 hours a day) every day! Both Tiger and Elin have told the counselors they love each other, and want to make the marriage work. The reports you are reading on TMZ and RadarOnline are about 30% accurate at best according to Mark.
In regards to Tiger’s boat being in Palm Beach this week, along with Rachel; that part is true. However, Tiger is not on the boat, and is not in Palm Beach; and Rachel is not on the boat. Her parents live 6 blocks from where the boat is, but that is it. Tiger has not returned to his house at Isleworth since the day of the accident except for the therapy sessions. IMG has enlisted the assistance of one of its most recognized sports figures, and Tiger has taken up residence in his neighborhood, Bay Hill. IMG contacted Arnold Palmer because of the high regard in which Tiger holds Arnold. Arnold has agreed, and IMG has said if anyone can get through to Tiger, Arnold may be the only person who can, based on his public persona when he was at the height of his game as well. The moving trucks being shown on TMZ and RadarOnline are moving out pictures and furniture which was damaged during their Thanksgiving Day argument; not of her moving out. Yes, Elin has retained a divorce attorney, but has not filed any papers, and as of yesterday had no intention on doing so. Tiger has not made any public appearances or statements due to the surgery and plastic surgery he had in PHX. It will be about another month if not more before he gets in front of a camera. Yes, Tiger is hitting golf balls late at night at Bay Hill out of their teaching center (which is equipped with lights).
That is as up to date as I have……..

While the contents of the email appear to be consistent with what we're seeing, I think it a bit pathetic that Mr. Bisher would claim that he received the email from a "trustworthy journalist". I received the same email on Dec 26th and trust me, the original source was not a journalist.
I will attempt to post the entire email in subsequent post if comment space allows.
To say to Elin...."you go girl" is just not right! She had no right to hit him with a 9 iron. Even if he did cheat that does not give her the right to use a weapon and smash in someone's head! That is domestic violence and she should be arrested for it. Likewise Tiger and his agent should be charged with interferring with an official investigation. These celebrities should not be allowed to follow a different set of laws than the rest of us. They should be charged and placed in the court system when they break the law or try to cover it up. I hope the police and the DA in Florida does the right thing and charges them. I don't care how much marriage counseling you get. Assault causing reconstructive surgery on your face is a FELONY! That's what everyone would say if it was a man that was the aggressor. Equal rights means you serve your time in the penalty box too baby.
If he'd been playing poker prior to the incident then how do they explain the fact that Tiger was deemed incoherent (possibly drugged up) when the ambulance came to see him? This sounds like a story from Tiger's people to spin the story further. Too late I say, people have already made up their minds, Tiger is a fraud, a sex addict, a coward and a cheater. Go team Elin.
I know some of Tiger's associates... they have the real story. Elin knocked out Tiger's teeth with his cell phone, then chased him out of the house with the golf club. The first responding law enforcement guy, a local deputy sheriff knows the truth, because Tiger and Elin each told him, but she quickly changed the story. Higher ups in the DA's office, under pressure from Tiger's legal team and friends, decided not to arrest Elin for spousal abuse. The police are furious.
There are false reports [ET, other places] that claim Tiger has been in Palm Beach with Uchitel. Hogwash. She's been partying and beaching in the Palm Beach area, and pictured in the local papers, but has not been seen with Tiger. He's not here... I live near where his boat is still docked, Old Port Cove.
Everyone needs to step back and realize this a TABLOID website and unless you are close family or friends you dont know exactly what happened or how it felt to be in Elin's shoes. Getting your information from the media is like the game of telephone...facts will get distorted or exaggerated to make good headlines for $$$$. Remember we're all just human and would not want our private and dark moments broadcast for the world and complete strangers to cast judgement on...most of us couldnt handle that kind of invasion. Tiger will live the consequences of his actions, if not with his wallet than everytime he looks at his kids.
Bisher got the same email thousands of people did from a "friend of a friend" and got fooled. Old idiot.
Tiger is a piece of work, that's for sure. It's one thing to cheat on your wife and children, he should be ashamed of himself but he was even cheating on his mistress with other women. I think he's so full of himself that he thinks he can get away with bad behavior and all that goes with it. If I were his wife I would hit him where he lives, in his wallet. How dare he come off like the victim here. He's lucky he just got a few bumps and bruises, he put his entire family at risk with his selfish actions. I hope he's dropped by all his sponsors so he can see what it's like to suffer.
What a giant a-----e!
Good for her he deserved it!!! Hope she takes him to the cleaners too!
if he was the one hitting at her ..he will be at jail, for no reason - opnly for self defense - you can attack another person,she could it kill him, and you said go ellin ?? come on, chetting is not right but smashing someelse face is a crime ... but yes just becuase the woman was the woman that did it is alright...is just no right ...and i am telling you this like a woman..we should not take advantage of our image as delicate and fragil thing ... you want equal right?? well ....you can not hit a man and expect no consecuanse
If you're gonna talk criminal stuff, should Tiger be criminally charged including child endangerment because he had unprotected sex with porn actors and prostitutes during the pregnancies and marriage
Okay just happy birthday Tger if i were Elin´s father and educated I think I would be hurt and support my daughter.
Elin got fed up she couldn´t imagine that Tiger doin´s repeatedly cheating her.Yeah always the law in the US that´s why people keep on doin crimes If Elin got an Iron to Tiger it was a barbaric law.Just hit tiger face so that in the future that women might terrify scar face tiger but there will be still sluts coz of his money
I think that this letter posted by Furman Bisher is a publicity stunt created by Tiger's team to present him as a victim and as a way to explain his disappearance since the scandal broke up. They are trying to protect the "Tiger brand" at all cost after the media is reporting that Tiger's stocks are down everywhere. The paramedics and the neighbors stated that Tiger had a bloody lip, not the injuries of the magnitude reported on Mr. Bisher's letter.
The true victims on all this are: Elin Nordegren and her two small children.I hope that someday Elin Nordegren will find a true man that respect and love her and the children. A man that could be a better father figure and role model to the children than Tiger Woods.I think that this letter posted by Furman Bisher is a publicity stunt created by Tiger's team to present him as a victim and as a way to explain his disappearance since the scandal broke up.
