I think it's safe to say that the world's number one athlete probably doesn't hit a tree and a fire hydrant in his driveway without some kind of distraction.

That said, Tiger Woods isn't talking and probably never will, so until then, we're all left to come to our own conclusions.

Using Occam's Razor, which states that the simplest explanation is probably the right one, I've come to this journalistic/investigative conclusion. Go with me here:

Tiger's daughter Samantha was playing outside and the garage door was open. She ran into her daddy's Escalade to grab some toys out of the back seat and left the door ajar. Excited, she ran inside with her toys and left both the door to the SUV open and the garage door as well.

Sometime around dinnertime, a pack of vicious, central Floridian squirrels found their way into the garage and into the Escalade, which had some chocolate chip crumbs lying on the seats and dash.

Later that night, Tiger decided to go out and pick up some ice cream for he and Elin, got into the Escalade, and upon pulling out of the garage, the pack of squirrels attacked him, causing him to swerve uncontrollably into a fire hydrant and tree.

This explanation is as plausable as any I've heard, so take note TMZ.com...
