According to new documents released in the Thanksgiving car crash that eventually brought golf prodigy Tiger Woods back down to earth, Woods’ wife handed ambulance personnel two bottles of pain medicine which she told them Woods took earlier in the day.

The paperwork, released by the Florida Highway Patrol to the Orlando Sentinel today, also shows that Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, tried to ride to the hospital in the ambulance with Woods.

The paramedics, however, barred her from entering, saying that the case was domestic violence-related.

The state troopers’ notes also intimates that the hospital where Woods was taken after he hit two curbs then a tree while pulling out of his driveway in Windermere, went all out to protect Woods’ reputation.

As Page2Live first reported, embattled golfer Tiger Woods has been building this magnificent mansion in Unincorporated Palm Beach, just north of Jupiter, for mom Tida. And here are the first pictures! Woods bought two adjacent properties directly across the Intracoastal from his soon-to-be Jupiter Island residence for $2.4 million in 2007. Now, the cleaned up serial philanderer is plunking down another $2.6 million for construction. Usually a presence in the background only, Tida burst onto the media stage Friday with her long embrace for her son after his televised apology. Mama Tiger then went after the media for treating her son “like a criminal.” She’ll be one of us next year. Click on either picture, or here, for more.

Another Tiger Woods headache: A lawsuit from yacht crew

A slew of demanding galpals. An angry wife. Sex rehab. Humiliation. Sponsors dropping like flies. The scorn of former fans. All have been a fact of life for superstar golfer Tiger Woods recently.

Now, this. A 25-year-old former deckhand is suing Woods’ Florida corporation, ETW, after losing a part of a finger in an accident aboard Woods’ yacht, Privacy.

If you believe the lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County, ETW did the right thing — but only to a certain extent. And now the plaintiff wants Woods to pay up.

Privacy enters Old Port Cove

Alexander McKee, who now lives in Vancouver, Wash., claims he was cleaning the deck of Woods’ 155-foot floating palace, as he had done for five months in 2005, when a hatch slammed shut on his hand.

The hatch, says lawyer Wayne Mitchell, severed two of his fingers. Surgeons managed to re-attach one of the tips but the other finger had to be partly amputated.

“This was a very serious injury,” Mitchell said.

Mama Woods stands by her cub; Tiger stands by the $5 million-home he’s building for her

Embattled golfer Tiger Woods is building a whole lot of homes for a whole lot of people these days.

Woods’ company, ETW, financed his public relations man Glenn Greenspan’s modest $1 million-dwelling in Stuart.

A Scandinavian-looking house is going up just south, on Jupiter Island, from blue prints bearing the specs of Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren.

And, according to recent paperwork filed in Palm Beach County, the 22,000-square-foot crib he’s building for his mom, Tida, is moving along quite nicely.

Usually a quiet presence by her son’s side, Tida jumped into the fray with both feet at his made-for-TV apology Friday when she blasted the media treating Woods “like a criminal.”

Still, there’s nothing like the soon-to-be-reformed philandering fool to kick a down real estate market into gear!

Golf’s love cheat warmed up for today’s TV groveling session (11 a.m., CNN) by hitting golf balls in the backyard of his Orlando-area mansion.

Tiger Woods, 34, is expected to deliver his first televised apology, then return to sex rehab in Hattiesburg, Miss.

But in the meantime, an apparently relaxed Woods practiced his swing Thursday afternoon for the benefit of a shutterbug summoned to the mansion.

Woods’ quiet suburban life unraveled at Thanksgiving when he crashed his car outside his home in the middle of the night, lifting the veil on his double duties as husband and dad by day and stud by night.

Good thing the Nike-clad Tiger’s looking much cleaner than when he was photographed in the courtyard of the rehab center last month. And he may even have gained a few pounds! Check out the gallery of Thursday’s action and Friday’s mea culpa by clicking on the photo, or here.

And get the bird’s eye view of Tiger’s properties all over Florida here.

Fresh from sex rehab, Tiger Woods goes jogging

Guess who materialized bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on a Central Florida street after a stint in sex rehab?

The formerly squeaky clean golfer Tiger Woods, that’s who!

The photo agency Getty Images found Woods jogging with an unidentified chaperone Wednesday afternoon, about the same time his agent announced Woods will be addressing the press Friday.

The world’s No. 1 golfer seemed fairly light on his feet: He didn’t have to carry the weight of a wedding band!

Is all forgiven?

Super Bowl XLIV: SoFla’s home to thousands of NFL players, officials, team owners

Burress, who's serving 20 months on a gun charge.

Burress, who's serving 20 months on a gun charge.

Retired three-time Super Bowl champ and former Florida Gator star Godfried Myles sums it up best: “There are two places in this country where most football players live:  South Florida, and Arizona. But South Florida’s the place.”

He ain’t kidding. The area is home to thousands of former, and current, NFL players, officials, TV commentators and team owners.

There are actually so many NFLers here that former Dolphins majority owner H. Wayne Huizenga used that fact a few years back when he unsuccessfully tried to talk the league into declaring Dolphin Stadium the permanent home of the Super Bowl.

When gun-toting wide receiver Plaxico Burress is released from jail next year, he’ll probably rebuild his life at home in Lighthouse Point, not too far from where New England Patriots star Randy Moss lives, in a modest $250,000-home in Boca Raton.

And Washington Redskins owner Dwight Schar spends nearly every winter weekend in his $68 million-Palm Beach mansion. Baltimore Ravens financier Steve Bisciotti is at home in Martin County’s Jupiter Island, down the street from Canadian songbird Celine Dion.

Galpal: Tiger Woods’ a champ in bed, too

Tiger Woods‘ not just an animal on the links.

He’s one in the sack, too.

At least, that’s what one of his dozen-plus galpals claims in a book she’s trying to sell to publishers.

Loredana Jolie, a shapely former Playboy model who worked for a high-class escort service, claims in her manuscript that Woods is so into the art of horizontal mambo that there’s no way his on-going stint in a Mississippi rehab center will work.

“He would engage in sex from 9 p.m. until the sun came up the next morning,” Jolie told the New York Post. “But he wasn’t a healthy guy.”

Tell us something we don’t know, Lore!

“He couldn’t sleep and would stay up all night. I am not really sure rehab for sex addiction will help him.”

Wait, there’s more:

“Tiger’s sexual fantasies were not normal. He likes role-playing, he likes to be the guy in control and wearing a suit while there are girls performing girl-on-girl and guys entertaining guys. By that, I mean they would dance for each other like girls would do for a man.

“He’d have different girls all the time, entertaining, role play, fetishes, stuff like that . . . But he would only watch . . .
