The Florida Department of Children and Families paid a visit to Tiger Woods’ Florida home on Saturday, according to a gossip Web site.
The agency went to the golfer’s mansion mid-day, accompanied by a marked police car and stayed for “roughly an hour,” radaronline.com reported without naming its source.
State officials did not confirm or deny the story.
“Child abuse, adult investigations, in the state of Florida are confidential,” Carrie Hoeppner, an agency spokeswoman, told the Daily News. “I’m just not able by law to give confirmation about whether we visited the family and that is in the interest of protecting the child.”
The Orange County Sherrif’s Department, however, acknowledged a partnership: “Our deputies met with members of the Department of Children and Families. But all details are being kept secret,” Capt. Angelo Nieves told radaronline.com.
Nieves refused to say whether deputies and DCF officials were at the Windermere home Saturday.
Repeated calls to Nieves by the Daily News were not returned.
Meanwhile, the Florida Highway Patrol, which investigated last month’s car crash, has stayed out of the picture.
“FHP has not been to the Woods home since the weekend of the crash,” Sgt. Kim Montes told the Daily News on Sunday.
Tiger has denied reports that he and his wife, Elin, fought over his cheating, leading to a single-car crash that sparked the recent explosion of media attention of the typically tight-lipped golfer’s home life.
The celebrity couple has two children, 2-year-old daughter Sam and 10-month-old son Charlie.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
This is all an absolute joke! First off, Woods is full of it. Take time off to work on his marriage? The only thing he’s taking off time for is: A) maybe say some final good buys to Rachael and the rest, B) let the media et al chill a bit (time heals all wounds), C) get a divorce lawyer and get the ball rolling (don’t think for a minute that Elin would consider taking his filandering ass back, it’s not like it was only one trist), D) try to salvage what little may be left of his contracts with sponsors, and E) if he’s smart (and that’s a big question mark right now) try and get some professional help for what appears to be a serious problem. This boy’s goose is cooked for the moment. Time to retreat to square one and start all over. Just like an alcoholic. Advance to jail, do not pass Go and do not collect $200.00.
