WINDERMERE, Fla. -- Tiger Woods backed out Monday of his own charity golf tournament scheduled for this week, blaming injuries from his Thanksgiving weekend car crash. There's also a new eyewitness account detailing what Tiger was wearing, and what he wasn't wearing, when he crashed.

Tiger won the U.S. Open last year playing on a torn ACL, but these new injuries are apparently enough for him to skip a tournament altogether. With a cut lip after a minor accident, the Isleworth resident is not playing in his foundation's Thousand Oaks, California tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, starting Thursday and is done for the year. The tournament was to be the last of the year for Woods anyway, but he did not say just when he would make his return next year.

The first tournament of the 2010 PGA Tour is the SBS Championship, a tournament for winners from the previous year, in Hawaii beginning Jan. 7.

New photographs released by celebrity news website TMZ.com of Tiger Woods' crash in front of his neighbor's house show his SUV up against a tree, the damage the impact caused and how the two back passenger windows of his SUV had been knocked out (see TMZ photos).

TMZ says it's talked to an eyewitness who says Tiger had a bloody cut on his lower lip when paramedics got to him. The eyewitness told TMZ that Tiger was wearing a t-shirt and shorts, but was barefoot, and that when paramedics tried to revive him he went in and out of consciousness.

TMZ says his wife handed paramedics two of his prescriptions, but told them she didn't know when he last had taken them. Elin Woods was reportedly very upset and had to be told to stay back.

Woods will not talk to the Florida Highway Patrol about the accident, which is his legal right. The Highway Patrol is still investigating and says charges are pending.

“He's not getting special treatment because he's Tiger Woods,” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said Monday. “As a matter of fact, if he were anybody but Tiger Woods this would have been yesterday's news.”

There are unconfirmed reports that Tiger and his wife were arguing right before the crash over a National Enquirer report that he was having an affair with a New York nightclub 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 Associated Press. On Sunday, she flew to Los Angeles and was met by high-profile attorney Gloria Allred at the airport.

Tiger Woods’ wife said she broke his windows with a golf club to rescue her unconscious husband, but two windows in the back? One online report says she was chasing him and clubbing his SUV, but he's not talking to the Highway Patrol.

No domestic violence has been reported, or apparently witnessed, so the Orange County Sheriff's Office says it has nothing to investigate.

“If it had been a finding of alcohol or drugs than, you bet, it's a legitimate investigation to find out what occurred prior to the crash. Absent that, what occurred is between Mr. and Mrs. Woods,” Sheaffer said.

The Highway Patrol says alcohol was not involved and is still investigating. If it can't prove that his wife's two-window rescue story doesn't make sense, Sheaffer says it's a non-issue.

On Tiger Woods' Web site Monday, about his pulling out of his charity golf tournament, he wrote, "I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week. I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I'm very sorry that I can't be there."

By skipping the tournament, Woods will escape having to face TV cameras and a horde of media seeking more details about the smashup. Tiger Wood's Orlando attorney, Mark NeJame, who rarely shies away from cameras, has not made any statements in the case.

Woods released a statement Sunday (read it) saying the accident was his fault, but he did not address any of the questions still swirling around it. He asked that it remain "a private matter," but with the Florida Highway Patrol still investigating and the media in full pursuit, Woods may not get his way.

Woods even faced questions from fans leaving comments on his own Web site. Most voiced support for the golfer, but some said he should address the questions about his own actions and those of his wife before and after the accident.

Woods hasn't answered questions from Florida troopers, either, turning them down three days in a row. Meanwhile, the tabloid-fueled rumors continue to swirl around perhaps the richest and most-recognizable athlete in the world.

Four cars were parked in Woods' driveway Monday, but no lights appeared to be on inside. A new fire hydrant had already replaced the one that Woods plowed into. A dirt hole and an orange barricade remained in the old hydrant's place.

Woods, who both hosts and plays in the Chevron World Challenge, was there last year even though he couldn't play because he was recovering from knee surgery. His absence this year will be the first since the tournament -- which has only an 18-player field -- began in 1999. The charity golf tournament is now offering refunds for this year's tickets and already offering 20-percent discounts for next year's event.

WINDERMERE RESIDENTS DON’T LIKE ATTENTION

If Tiger's Thanksgiving crash seemed minor, it's become a big deal for the residents of Windermere. The town has found itself inundated with global media coverage, even though residents say it’s much ado about nothing but a simple car crash.

The media outside the exclusive Isleworth neighborhood seemed to be enough to prompt extra security. Reporters from news stations all over the country, and every major network, are camped outside the affluent subdivision where Tiger Woods lives, but those who live in and around Isleworth have had enough.

“Everyone kind of feels that way. The man deserves his privacy, and his wife, too,” Windermere resident Karen Murphy said.

“You're not a little bit curious about what really happened on Friday morning?” WFTV reporter Daralene Jones asked Windermere resident Chris Sapp.

“Not particularly. It’s really none of our business,” he said.

Windermere police didn't return calls to say whether they've increased patrols or had an unusual number of incidents since the story broke Saturday, but Eyewitness News found reporters aren't the only ones clogging Conroy-Windermere Road, the main street that leads to the area. Several times Monday, drivers stopped traffic to take pictures of the scene and the neighborhood where the pro golfer lives.

One woman Eyewitness News talked to is visiting Orlando from New Jersey.

“It is Tiger Woods, though, number one athlete in all of the world,” the woman said.

The problem is, Tiger Woods lives in a small town that's normally quiet and not used to all this attention and they want life to go back that way.

“There's a lot of speculation, but it’s not a lot of people's business either, so it would be nice to see them go away and let the town get back to the way it used to be,” Sapp said.
