GOLF superstar Tiger Woods was knocked out for six minutes and suffered face injuries in a 2am car crash after a bust-up with his wife.
The 33-year-old was pulled from the vehicle by Swedish model missus Elin Nordegren after hitting a fire hydrant and a tree close to their Florida home.

Elin, 29, heard the accident and is reported to have rushed out of the house with a golf club to smash out the back window and pull Tiger clear.
The world's highest-paid sportsman was drifting in and out of consciousness with his wife hovering over him when cops arrived.
Tiger had cuts on his lips and blood in his mouth.
Police gave him first aid until he was taken to hospital about ten minutes later.
Sources said Tiger and beauty Elin had been arguing before the accident.
Reports in the US claim he has been cheating on her with party hostess Rachel Uchitel, 34.
Rachel is said to have followed Tiger around the world.
She was photographed at the same hotel where Tiger was staying while playing in the Australian Open.
Lawyers for the golfer have denied the allegations.
Tiger had not been wearing a seat belt when he crashed, shortly after pulling out of the driveway of his £15million home.
He smashed his face into the windscreen.
The air bags on his car, a Cadillac Escalade SUV, did not deploy, indicating he was travelling at a low speed.
