The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is reporting that Tiger Woods was injured in a “roll-over collision” Tuesday morning.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff, Woods was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when he crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage. He was then transported to the hospital for unspecified injuries. The Los Angeles Times reported sources said Woods had to be removed from the car’s windshield.
Tiger Woods’ agent has released a statement:
“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.”

not to jump to any conclusions, but Tiger appeared on the golf channel this past weekend to talk about his charity and said he can use only a putter. he looked tired and/or hung over.
he is recovering from yet another back surgery and he had trouble with medications just a couple years ago .. sooo …
hope this is just a blip and not a sign of worse. golf needs Tiger. The World Needs Tiger.
Huh.
Agreed. He looked high as a kite during that interview. Hopefully not the cause of this accident
At this point being under the influence has to be the first suspicion because it doesn’t look like weather or another driver caused this…and people don’t tend to roll over like that sober.
I also hope I’m wrong about this…but Junior Seau tried to commit suicide the first time by driving his car off a cliff.
Ahhh…I wouldn’t put Tiger on that pedestal. He hasn’t saved lives, run into burning buildings, etc. He was a great, great golfer, and what appears to be a very nice and kind man. I wish him a truly speedy recover, and pray his pain is limited. He’s endured a lot of pain with his back for many, many years 🙁
We’re all probably having similar thoughts. One, that he’s OK, and hopefully he was not impaired.
This might be it for Tiger the golfer. Depending on his injuries, to go along with his current recovery from a 5th back surgery. I hope he was just going to catch an early flight or something, really would be bad to find out he was impaired again.
the update looks really bad. prayers for Tiger. geez.
Yeah that doesn’t look good…especially since it was a single car rollover and the fact of how he looked this weekend.
Hope he’s okay. Anyone see a golf club smashed in the windshield?
This doesn’t look good for Tiger. If I had to wager on this, I’d say he was under the influence of something. Hopefully Tiger will be ok, but more importantly, he has a family that depends on him and he has kids that need their father. Golfing at a high level may never happen again for Tiger but he can still be a father to his kids. Prayers for him and his family
He wants to retire but the Golf Channel would cease to exist. None of the new golfers are not serious about winning. They would rather party before before they earn their fame
On a clear dry sunny day and he launched this suv into the air impaired and way high speed I would say not really a fan but certainly wish him the best.
