Someone from Tiger's house taken to hospital...

The guy's life is turning out to be a bigger circus than Brittany Spears.

Various reports say the wife has left or is planning to leave. She's bought a house near Stockholm last week. Good for her.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/nationa...x1L2yHAVcf62rJ

Now . . . . . the big puzzle is how one might go about resurrecting Tiger.

Frankly, I think it's better for Tiger's rehabilitation campaign that Elin Nordegren is exiting with the kids. He was well past the point where he cared about her anyway, so let's just get that off the table.

Given the revelations we've seen - the sheer numbers - there was never any believable aspect in trying to sell Nordegren forgiving him and everyone living happily for a few more years.

Instead, with her out of the way, Tiger can have the tearful Baba Wawa interview or the confession on Oprah to lay it all out there that he deserved what he got . . . . . basically, try to go for the sympathy vote.

And, bonus points, he can go on boinking as much as he wants as a single guy.

How would you rehabilitate Tiger, aside from using a two by four? Does he have the personality to come clean in the first place?

His once-pristine reputation in tatters, Tiger Woods' next conquest needs to come on the links.

And it needs to come fast, if he hopes to quell the media firestorm swirling around him, experts say.

"He needs to bring the attention back to his primary expertise, which is playing golf," said Sean Cassidy, president of Dan Klores Communications. "The quicker he's on the course winning, the better."

PR gurus told the Daily News Friday the surest way for the embattled Woods to repair his reputation is for him to get back to what he does best: playing golf.

"He shouldn't say anything more about his social life," said Howard Rubenstein, president of Rubenstein Communications. "He ought to get back to his golf."

I'm not so sure now that golf is his primary expertise.

An interesting analysis of how this is all playing out in the black community.

As one blogger, Robert Paul Reyes, wrote: "If Tiger Woods had cheated on his gorgeous white wife with black women, the golfing great's accident would have been barely a blip in the blogosphere."

The darts reflect blacks' resistance to interracial romance. They also are a reflection of discomfort with a man who has smashed barriers in one of America's whitest sports and assumed the mantle of the world's most famous athlete, once worn by Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan.

But Woods has declined to identify himself as black, and famously chose the term "Cablinasian" (Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian) to describe the racial mixture he inherited from his African-American father and Thai mother.

This vexed some blacks, but it hasn't stopped them from claiming Woods as one of their own. Or from disapproving of his marriage to Elin Nordegren, despite blacks' historical fight against white racist opponents of mixed marriage.

That deserves some kind of mega-thanks you can only access from the uncharted universe of win.

Phil Mickelson called Elin Nordegren to get some tips on how to beat Tiger.

He would still slice it wide, so what's the point?
