Barbro Holmberg, the mother-in-law of Tiger Woods was reportedly taken to hospital by ambulance. Apparently, Barbro Holmberg was visiting her daughter Elin Nordegren at their home in Flordia.

Holmberg, a prominent politician in Sweden, made an unscheduled trip to the USA to visit her daughter after the highly covered scandal regarding Tiger Woods and his alleged affairs.

A middle-aged, blond woman was taken to the hospital early this morning. We have now confirmed the call came from Tiger's address. The spokesperson for Orange County Fire initially said the 911 call came from Tiger's home but for some reason she later backed off that statement and said it might not be the same address. But, it is indeed Tiger's address. We also know a younger blond woman followed the ambulance to the hospital. And, as we reported, Elin's mom is in the U.S. to be with her daughter.

An ambulance was called to the Woods residence around 2;30 am and Holmberg was rushed to the hospital followed by her daughter, Elin.

The woman from Tiger Woods' home who was rushed to the hospital early this morning on "advanced life support" has been released, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Health Central Hospital's emergency room told Fox News that she was allowed to leave.

Tiger is lost in the woodsWhen it doesn't rain it pours, as the saying goes. Things seem to get from bad to worse at the Woods residence. The Tiger Woods saga continues to go on and some sports blogs listed on sports index www.dozensports.com say the count of women linked to the richest sports star is up to 8. So the last thing you need is a sick mother-in-law thrown into the bargain! Barbro Holmberg, the mother of Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, was taken to the same hospital that treated Woods after his strange late-night car crash. Thankfully she returned after 11 hours, but it makes me wonder how on earth Woods can live in the same house as his wife and mother-in-law with all these allegations? I bet he wished he could get out and shoot some golf balls rather than be hounded at home.
