Charles Barkley says Tiger Woods changed his cell phone number the day after his car accident and is not talking to some of his famous friends.

On a show that airs Sunday on news network HLN, Barkley and filmmaker Spike Lee worry that Woods isn't taking advantage of the invaluable advice that can only be offered by friends who are used to the spotlight.

"You should reach out to your celebrity friends when things go bad," Barkley told the Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday. "They're the only people who understand what it's like."

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Forget the facts, which are bad enough. The conjecture has been even more damning and unsettling.

Yet, of all the teeth-grinding, eye-popping and ear-grating noise out there on the speculative front, here's some forward-looking semi-guesswork that on its face seems even more incredible. At least, initially.

In a blink, Tiger Woods wrapped a Cadillac around a tree. Wrapping your head around this notion might require a bit more time.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Tiger Woods came clean.

Why do we all feel the need to take a shower?

With evidence of serial philandering mounting at a seemingly hourly pace over the past week, Woods on Wednesday fell on his sword, pardon the pun.

Another false idol has thus been toppled. Angry at being duped, people in the streets picked up rocks and began stoning him immediately.

In by far the strongest sentiment expressed so far by a PGA Tour player, Swedish veteran Jesper Parnevik blistered Tiger Woods on Wednesday for the way he has treated his wife, Elin, who is Parnevik’s former nanny.

Parnevik introduced the two in 2001 and they began dating soon thereafter, eventually marrying in 2005. If and when Woods finally relocates from Orlando to his new mansion under construction in Jupiter, Fla., he and Parnevik will be neighbors, their homes separated by the Intercoastal Waterway.

Those waters might be a bit chilly.

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

Jason Norris fired a blistering third-round 64 to give himself a strong chance of winning his second New South Wales Open golf title in three years.

SYDNEY -- Fred Couples is out of the Australian Open and Vijay Singh has withdrawn from the Australian PGA due to injuries, the Australasian PGA golf tour said Saturday.

Couples was a late addition to the Dec. 3-6 Australian Open at New South Wales Golf Club in Sydney after tournament drawcard Greg Norman withdrew due to slower-than-expected recovery from shoulder surgery. Couples has now had to pull out with a lower back injury.

WINDERMERE, Fla. -- Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to speak to state troopers for the second straight day, asking that they return Sunday to try to clear up questions about how he crashed his SUV into a neighbor's tree.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the announcement that the world's No. 1 golfer and his wife, Elin, could not speak Saturday to authorities came from his agent. Mark Steinberg of IMG did not immediately respond to a text seeking comment.
