Tiger Woods dropped from wrongful death suit

A wrongful death lawsuit no longer names Tiger Woods in a claim against a South Florida restaurant that carries the golfer's name.

Woods attorneys' announced Monday that the estate of a bartender who crashed his car and died after leaving the restaurant in December had voluntarily dismissed Woods as a defendant. But the lawsuit filed last month by the parents of Nicholas Immesberger is on going against both The Woods Jupiter -- the name of the restaurant near Woods' South Florida home -- and Woods' girlfriend, who serves as general manager.

According to Woods' attorney Barry Postman, Woods invests in but does not own the restaurant.
