Professional golfer Tiger Woods was involved in a serious car accident Tuesday morning, and has been hospitalized, according to a report from the LA County Sheriff’s Department.
Woods, 45, was reportedly in the Los Angeles area to attend the annual Genesis Invitational golf tournament.
The Sheriff’s office released the following statement:
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 Ranchos 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 with the ‘jaws of life’ by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries.
