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.
In most, indeed pretty much all situations, frequent accidents on a road are the result of frequent bad driving by one or more of the drivers involved.
The most common cause of a rollover accident is a driver losing control of a vehicle. Falling asleep at the wheel, using a phone, and other distracted driving all may cause a driver to lose focus and control.
Tiger has suffered multiple leg injuries and he is in surgery.
That’s not a far-fetched theory.
SUVs are prone to rollovers. Woods is going at high speed, gets distracted, over-corrects. The SUV rolls.
I wonder just how fast he was going...
Tiger in surgery for multiple leg injuries . . .
Where was Elin and Tiger’s nine iron?

On track to be the best golfer of all time prior to his first back surgery......He still is in my opinion.
What is wrong with you? He is a fellow human being who was in a bad accident? I pray this never happens to you or your family.
Yep, not a pretty picture, hopefully he has no lasting injuries.
Considering everything he’s lucky to be alive. SUV’s offer you good protection. Many yrs ago my sister was hit in her Range Rover by a young woman(Probably illegal, had no insurance) my sister broke her wrist needed surgery, if she was not in a range rover I dont want to think what might have happened
That’s not far from the Palos Verdes Public Library, which I occasionally visit. It’s one of my favorite public libraries in the Southland.
There’s no doubt now that Jack’s record for majors is safe.
Yep, the information makes sense.
Agree. At least in the top two GOAT. Truly a golf legend.
Prayers for Tiger Woods.
A vehicle’s best safety feature is still a good driver.
A car is not a toy.
Hope he recovers quickly.
Tiger lives in Florida and has for many years.
This news just ruined my day. Was looking forward to seeing him make another comeback following his recent back surgery. Prayers out to Tiger for speedy, full recovery.
