More drama for Tiger Woods after gas leak emergency near his home
More drama surrounded shamed golf superstar Tiger Woods when a gas leak sparked an emergency inside his exclusive gated community today (Wednesday).
Fire engines and police vehicles flooded the sprawling Isleworth complex, in Orlando, Florida, after a gas pipe burst at the country club, around 1pm.
A special operations unit also raced through the main gates as police and news helicopters circled above.
The emergency happened amid reports that Tiger’s Swedish wife Elin Nordegren was set to move out of the family’s $2.5 million mansion with their two young children.
Rumours were rife over a removal truck having visited the house on Tuesday and taken away carefully wrapped artwork.
Orange County Fire and Rescue officials said residents were not in any danger and that they aimed to clear up the gas leak within half an hour.
“A gas pipe burst at the country club,” said Orange County Fire and Rescue spokesman Marianne Nuckles.
“It did not involve Tiger Woods or his properties. The residents weren’t in any danger.”
