Woods’ mother-in-law released from Fla. hospital

OCOEE, Fla. - Tiger Woods’ mother-in-law was rushed to a hospital early Tuesday, touching off the second media frenzy in two weeks surrounding the pro golfer’s carefully guarded private life.

Barbro Holmberg was taken by ambulance to Health Central Hospital with stomach pains after a 911 call from Woods’ house. Holmberg, a Swedish politician and the mother of Woods’ wife, was released about 11 hours later and returned to Woods’ mansion, hospital spokesman Dan Yates said.

“She was wheeled out in a wheelchair just like everyone else,” Yates said.

Health Central is the same hospital where Woods was treated after he crashed his sport utility vehicle outside his home in a gated community in nearby Windermere last month.

Holmberg, 57, arrived in the U.S. a few days ago, just as her daughter grappled with fallout from the crash and the ensuing statement from Woods that he had extramarital “transgressions.”
