Tiger Woods’ wife was kneeling over his body when police first arrived at the scene of his bizarre crash, new police documents reportedly reveal.

Despite accounts claiming the golfer was snoring on the road, the reports – from a never-before-seen police report from the first officer on the scene – say he tried to get up several times.

Windermere police arrived before the Florida Highway Patrol at the champion’s mansion following the accident in the early hours of November 27.

The responding officer reportedly wrote: “I arrived on the scene at 0233 hours. Upon my arrival, I observed a black male lying in the roadway not moving, covered in a blanket and resting his head on a pillow.

“There was a white female kneeling over the subject (later identified to be the wife Elin).”

The report also reads: “Mr. Woods periodically attempted to get up; for his safety, I kept him lying down, using the pillow to immobilize his cervical spinal column.”

Windermere police noted that the front passenger door of Tiger’s Cadillac SUV was jammed shut and there was $235 in cash in the centre console of the vehicle, which was still running.

The report also confirms there was a golf cart at the scene and “two golf clubs (irons) lying on the ground” next to the cart.

Tiger’s wife used the clubs to break the back window of the car. And the report notes there was glass on the driveway adjacent to the broken window.
