The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released a statement about the crash, which took place on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes at approximately 7:12 a.m. local time.

“The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage,” the statement read, noting that Woods, 45, was the only person in the car. “Mr. Woods was extricated from the wreck with the ‘jaws of life’ by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries. The traffic investigation is being conducted by investigations from LASD Station.”

The athlete’s manager, Mark Steinberg, subsequently told Golf Digest in a statement that Woods was undergoing surgery following the accident: “Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.”

Woods, who resides in Florida, was in California for his annual Genesis Invitational golf tournament at the Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades. Earlier on Tuesday, Dwyane Wade shared a video from the course with Woods taken on Monday, February 22.

“I told y’all I was about to do something amazing today. I got an opportunity to — I say the GOAT, he’s not comfortable with it — but an opportunity to come out here with this guy man,” the NBA player said via Instagram. “Tiger, thank you for teaching me something.”

After Woods joked that Wade was “getting better” at golf, the basketball player reiterated that the PGA pro was the greatest of all time.

Woods was previously involved in a car crash back in November 2009 when his then-wife, Elin Nordegren, learned that he was having an affair. (Woods and Nordegren, who share daughter, 13, and son Charlie, 12, finalized their divorce in 2010.) The scandal made headlines again last month after the release of the HBO documentary, Tiger, featured interviews from one of Woods’ mistresses Rachel Uchitel.

The 15-time major champion got in trouble behind the wheel again in May 2017 when he was booked for driving under the influence after taking opioid painkillers and four different prescription drugs, including Xanax and Ambien. Woods subsequently pleaded guilty to charges against him and completed DUI school, community service and 12 months of probation.

Woods, who has had back issues for years, confirmed last month that he underwent his fifth back surgery. He said in a statement at the time that he was looking forward to playing again soon.

“I’m feeling fine, I’m feeling fine. I’m a little bit stiff. I have one more MRI scheduled,” Woods told CBS on Sunday, February 21. “Still in the gym, still doing the mundane stuff that you have to do for rehab, the little things, before I can start gravitating to something more.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
