TMZ reveló que el golfista Tiger Woods ingresó a una clínica de Miami debido a una sobredosis de medicamentos.
De acuerdo con el sitio web, el deportista ingresó al Health Central Hospital, de Miami, un día después del Día de Acción de Gracias con problemas para respirar.
Tiger Woods fue registrado con un alias, William Smith, y su esposa Elin Nordegren estaba a su lado.
Elin entregó a los paramédicos que auxiliaron al polémico golfista, dos frascos de medicamentos: Ambien y Vicodin, que Tiger Woods había ingerido minutos antes.
El estado del deportista cuando ingresó al hospital era delicado, ya que estaba inconsciente y fue necesario ser entubado para ayudarlo a respirar.
Cabe indicar que el golfista número uno del mundo sufrió un accidente automovilístico el pasado 27 de noviembre en fechas en que en Estados Unidos se celebraba dicha festividad.
Tiger Woods' Mother-In-Law -- The 911 Call
TMZ has obtained the 911 call made this morning from Tiger Woods' home, after his mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg complained of stomach pains.
The caller hysterically tells the dispatcher that her mother has "collapsed." At one point, you can hear a kid screaming in the background ... and there's no evidence Tiger is in the house.

Now sponsors take their first small step back from Tiger Woods, Bloomberg News reporting Tuesday that advertisements featuring him, at least on prime-time broadcast television, are as hard to find right now as Tiger himself is.
This is completely predictable when it involves a guy who has been a masterpiece of marketing the way Woods has. The sponsors all say they'll stand by their man. For now. But you never know. Some of them may turn out to be as fickle as, well, Tiger and his alleged girlfriends seem to be.
So it continues for this guy, 12 days that must feel like that disaster movie "2012." And you wonder now when this is over.
You want this to be over now.
Nobody came into this looking to get Tiger Woods, and now it doesn't matter, anyway, he did a good enough job on himself. And nobody ought to feel betrayed. If you thought you knew the "real" Tiger, then you just bought into the Tiger he was selling, the one he wanted us to buy.
I never thought he was some fascinating character when he didn't have a golf club in his hands. I never thought Michael Jordan - and doesn't it seem as if athletes of a certain age still want to be like Mike, in all ways? - was a fascinating character when he wasn't making big baskets.
But this is how fast we find out about celebrities, and not just sports celebrities. It has been less than two weeks since Woods' SUV hit a fire hydrant and a tree outside his Florida home.
Where are we now with the women who say they were with him? Eight? Is that some kind of record number for married athletes or rock stars or movie stars or politicians? Not even close.
Is this is a drug and alcohol story at heart? No one knows that, either. But it sure looks as if it started that way, unless you've got a better explanation about how the most famous man on the planet this side of Barack Obama ended up snoring in the street at 2:30 in the morning after a one-car accident that has now turned into a train wreck.
Some people look at his behavior with other women as reckless. But you know what? An awful lot of young guys just think Tiger is livin' their idea of the dream. Beautiful wife at home, and then all the babes he wants, from here to Australia.
Woods opened the door after Thanksgiving by walking out the door and getting behind the wheel in what sure seems to be some kind of altered state, and making himself part of the public record. Then the other women turned into a conga line and now one of the most famous people on the planet is the most famous punch line.
And this is somebody else's fault?
I never felt as if I had some kind of moral contract with him, or demanded he keep his zipper up. Just as a golfer, I loved watching him play golf at such at a ridiculously high level. And will do it again when he starts playing again.
Alex Rodriguez? Loser in the spring because of steroids, cheered up the Canyon of Heroes in November. Is he really a changed man? Who knows? He just hits better in the clutch now.
Woods seems to have acted like a slob. It doesn't mean you want this to continue, or take joy in something this sad.
John Edwards is considered a prime bum of American life because he's the guy who ran for vice president and President and acted like a bimbo while he had a wife with cancer trying to get him elected. Tiger? He just comes up like another celebrity who got to the 9th and 10th stages of Dan Jenkins' famous list of the 10 Stages of Drunkenness in his novel "Baja Oklahoma":
Invisible at No. 9, followed by Bulletproof.
Drunk with power in this case. Bill Clinton got there. Eliot Spitzer got there. Mark Sanford got there. Whether they're elected or not is irrelevant. You either care about behavior like this or you don't.
Tiger thought he was invisible and bulletproof and then he wasn't. Where does he go from here? Maybe to the only rehab that will ultimately get him past this:
More major championships. We love winners in this country, even when they act like losers.
