Tiger Woods was hospitalized after being involved in a single-car accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. The extent of any potential injuries, as well as the circumstances of the accident, remain unclear.
Woods, 45, was in California for a two-day content shoot with Golf Digest/GOLFTV after serving as host for the PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational over the weekend. Pictures surfaced on social media of Woods smiling with Dwayne Wade and David Spade at Rolling Hills Country Club on Monday, but with his movement still restricted, he did not hit balls or play any holes. The shoot involved Woods giving on-course lessons to a number of celebrities, but he mostly provided instruction and hit a few putts. He was in good spirits on Monday but did not arrive to the course for the second day of shooting.
On Sunday, Woods told CBS’ Jim Nantz that he was awaiting the results of an upcoming MRI before he could ramp up practicing and training for a return to competition.
Woods last competed alongside his son at the PNC Championship, which finished on Dec. 20 in Orlando. He then underwent a microdiscectomy procedure to remove a pressurized disc fragment that was pinching a nerve. It was his fifth back surgery overall and the first since his spinal fusion in April 2017.
I believe they extracted him out from where the windshield was.
you’re assuming everyone drives vehicles with antilock brakes...
newer passenger vehicles like tiger was driving have them...
semis and trucks with airbrakes don’t have them and will lockup...
No question about that.
Multiple leg fractures.
Not good....for his livelihood.
A hell of a lot better than tiger’s driving.
There were no post impact skids, but there was a trail of oil showing the path of travel as the car veered off the road, barely missing a power pole and a huge tree. I think Woods either veered off, hitting the sign in the median strip because of the shadows from the trees had obscured the curve in the road or, because there was a vehicle traveling towards him on the wrong side of the median strip. I will await Tiger’s explanation.
There are many factors as to why an anti-lock brake system will lock. More than I want to go through here.
I don't have to tell you anything, you're the one making the claims before any of the accident investigations are made official......You praying for a "Look at me, I told you so"? pat on the back or what?
Just curious, what motivates you pseudo-sleuths to make unsubstantiated accusations when you have absolutely no legitimate information into the actual event?
You add nothing to the conversation other than to stir up controversy where none should exist, much the same way the MSM does............
No doubt. The impact force nearly sent the engine into his knees.
LAPD has clarified- jaws of life were NOT used- he was taken out through a window and was conscious.
Just curious, what motivates you pseudo-sleuths to make unsubstantiated bla bla bla?
I don't have to tell you anything.☺
entertain us since you think you know everything about the cause of this accident...
There is nothing else to say. The vehicle was obviously traveling WAY too fast for conditions/speed limit. No?
But you’ll have to wait to see if this guy was DUI and what his story allegedly is.
Somehow, I just knew that this thread would turn into a pissing match.
I know that area well. My uncle lives about 2 miles from that location. The roads in Palos Verdes are all twisty and hilly, so drivers who are not familiar with it can make some serious mistakes.
He need to use a different driver.
The sheriff’s report on the accident will be live on Fox at 6 PM Eastern Time.
Btw, with that amount of fluid and being post impact from the curb/center divider and sign, I would guess he sheared or punched a hole in the engine oil pan. That’s a lot of fluid.
i don’t have to wait to see anything because i’m not assuming anything or jumping to conclusions like you are...
