Tiger Woods' mother-in-law has been released from an Orlando-area hospital after being treated for stomach pains.
Health Central Hospital spokesman Dan Yates said Barbro Holmberg was released Tuesday afternoon, about 11 hours after she was admitted. She went back to Woods' mansion.
Emergency crews had been summoned to the home when someone there called 911 about 2:35 a.m. Tuesday.
Holmberg, who arrived in the U.S. a few days ago, was taken by ambulance to Health Central. She lives in Sweden and is the mother of Woods' wife, Elin.
Health Central is the same hospital where Woods was treated after he crashed his sport utility vehicle outside his home in the gated Isleworth community in Windermere last month.
In other news, Woods' wife has had enough of the alleged affairs - now as many as 10 - surrounding the golfer and has moved out of their Orlando-area mansion, celebrity Web site Radaronline.com reports.
As more women surface, claiming to have had an affair with Woods, Nordegren has moved to a nearby home, also owned by the golfer,
Radar reports.
Emergency crews were last at the Woods' home early on the Friday after Thanksgiving, when the world's No. 1 golfer hit a hydrant and a tree around 2:25 a.m. The Florida Highway Patrol last week cited Woods for careless driving and fined him $164.
The accident - and Woods' refusal to answer questions about it - fueled speculation about a possible dispute between him and Nordegren.
Just days before the crash, a National Enquirer story alleged Woods had been seeing a New York nightclub hostess, Rachel Uchitel, who has denied it. After the crash, Us Weekly reported that a Los Angeles cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs claims she had a 31-month affair with Woods.
Last week, Woods issued a statement saying he had let his family down with unspecified "transgressions" that he regrets with "all of my heart." He did not elaborate.
A police report on the crash released Monday showed that a Florida trooper who suspected Woods was driving under the influence sought a subpoena for the golfer's blood results from the hospital he was taken to after the crash, but prosecutors rejected the petition for insufficient information.
A witness, who wasn't identified in the report, told trooper Joshua Evans that Woods had been drinking alcohol earlier. The same witness also said Woods had been prescribed two drugs, Ambien and Vicodin.
The report did not say who the witness was but added it was the same person who pulled Woods from the vehicle after the accident outside his home. Woods' wife, Elin, has told police that she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the Cadillac Escalade to help her husband out. His injuries were minor.
The sister of a neighbor who called 911 after the crash told troopers that Woods' mother, Kultida, and mother-in-law, Barbro Holmberg, were also at the scene, but the AP has not been able to confirm that.
Eva Malmborg, a spokeswoman for Holmberg, said Tuesday that she could not comment on the reports about a woman being taken from Woods' neighborhood to the hospital.
"I haven't been in contact with her and like I said I don't know where she is - and so I can neither confirm or deny anything," Malmborg said.
Malmborg confirmed Holmberg had taken a week's leave from her job as Gavleborg county governor in central-east Sweden, but said she did not know where Holmberg had gone.
According to the New York Post, Holmberg has been visiting Nordegren for the past two days.
