IIn 2009, Woods smashed his car into a tree and fire hydrant outside his luxury Florida home, triggering a series of outrageous disclosures that led to the end of his marriage and damaged his reputation.

He divorced his wife, Elin Nordegren, with whom he has two children, after a number of women claimed to have had affair with the golfer.
