Hold that Tiger? More like find that Tiger.

Florida State Troopers can't seem to get a hold of Tiger Woods to discuss his car accident Friday morning. 

The holed-up-at-home sports star turned down the Florida Highway Patrol twice today, after troopers visited his Windermere, Fla., home looking for more answers regarding the bizarre tree- and hydrant-smashing crash. 

The Florida Highway Patrol received word from Wood's rep that the 33-year-old golf pro and his club-swinging wife, Elin Nordegren, would not be available for an interview that was previously scheduled for Saturday. 

Officers were asked to return to the home Sunday for a sit-down. The agency is still investigating the incident, and has not yet reviewed the 911 tapes from the accident. 

Woods' missing-in-action behavior comes on the heels of reports that the accident followed a spat between him and Nordegen over an alleged affair.  

Earlier this week, the National Enquirer identified Rachel Uchitel as the other woman.

Uchitel has denied the affair, telling the New York Post that, as the director of VIP services for a company that specializes in the New York club scene, she has met Woods several times, but has not had interactions with him outside of work. 

"We have never had an affair, and the claims we did are completely false," Uchitel told the newspaper. "I am really upset about it because I am being portrayed as a homewrecker, when it simply isn't true." 

In the meantime, Uchitel has lawyered up to battle the tabloid's story, and is being represented by Gloria Allred, E! News has confirmed.   

When asked whether she can confirm any of the salacious details involving her new client and Woods, Allred said, "Sorry, but we have no comment."
