Agent: “Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery”; Injuries described as “non life-threatening” by Sheriff’s department; CNN later reported Woods’ condition as “serious”

Tiger Woods has suffered “multiple leg injuries” in a car crash in California.

Woods was reported to be conscious and responsive when he was removed from the wreckage by the local fire department early on Tuesday morning before he was rushed to hospital in a “serious condition”.

Although his injuries have been described as “non life-threatening”, it was reported that he was undergoing surgery at the nearby Harbor-UCLA Medical Center for multiple compound fractures in both legs.

His agent, Mark Steinberg, said: “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.”

The LA County Sheriff also stated there was “no obvious sign” that Woods was impaired by drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the accident, although this could not be confirmed until tests were performed by investigators at the hospital.

The Sheriff’s department had earlier confirmed that Woods’ vehicle had rolled over and sustained “major damage”, while also clarifying that no other vehicle is believed to be involved. Overhead pictures of his car showed clearly the significant damage as it lay on its side on a grass embankment, several yards from the road.

The Sheriff’s statement read: “On February 23, 2021, at approximately 7:12 AM, LASD responded to a single vehicle roll-over traffic collision on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes. The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage.

“The driver and sole occupant was identified as PGA golfer, Eldrick ‘Tiger’ Woods. Mr. Woods was extricated from the wreck by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries.”

Woods has been in Los Angeles as tournament host for last week’s Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, but the 15-time major champion is currently unable to play, or even practice, following further back surgery towards the end of December.

He was also forced to sit out last month’s Farmers Insurance Open, and in an interview on Sunday, the 45-year-old admitted he had not yet set a date for a return to competitive golf, with the Masters just seven weeks away.

“There is no timetable, that’s one of the more frustrating things. I’m just waiting for another MRI to see if the annulus has scarred over and sealed,” Woods said. “Once that happens, then I can dedicate to start doing more.”

When asked about whether he will be able to feature at Augusta National, Woods told CBS: “God I hope so. I’ve got to get there first. A lot of it is based on my surgeons and my doctors and my therapists and making sure that I do it correctly. This is the only back I’ve got, so I don’t have much more wiggle-room left there.
