Investigators were still waiting to interview champion golfer Tiger Woods after being denied the opportunity for the second day in a row.
Florida Highway Patrol officers had been preparing to interview the world number one about a mysterious car crash which left Woods with facial cuts.
He suffered the injuries in an accident described by his spokesman as "minor", when he lost control of his car and reversed into a fire hydrant outside his Isleworth, Orlando, home.
Woods' Cadillac then hit a tree in a neighbour's garden with police reporting that officers found the golfer lying in the road being tended to by his wife Elin Nordegren, but drifting in and out of consciousness.
As part of a continuing investigation, state troopers were set to interview Woods to hear the 33-year-old's version of events, police spokesman Sgt Kim Montes said. Hours later, however, Sgt Montes issued a statement saying the planned interview had not taken place.
"Florida Highway Patrol has received information that Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to be interviewed by state troopers, as we had previously scheduled," the statement read. "This announcement came from his agent."
Earlier in the day, Sgt Montes had stressed Woods was not being treated differently to other drivers in similar situations having failed to meet troopers visiting his home on Friday. "A couple of troopers were sent to the hospital to talk to Mr Woods on Friday to get his side of what happened as the driver of the vehicle," Sgt Montes said.
"He had already been discharged so we went by the house and Mrs Woods invited us in and when she went to go back, Tiger was sleeping. So we agreed to come back, though that's not preferential treatment. We've done that on other crashes."
Sgt Montes said troopers had been due to return to the golfer's house to "give Mr Woods an opportunity to tell us what happened". She added that the troopers were specifically interested in the particulars of the accident.

"There's a lot of rumours and scenarios that are being thrown out there about all kinds of different things that may have happened but right now the only evidence that we have is that this is just a traffic crash," she said.
