Tiger Woods Injured in Car Crash | Pacific Palisades
Golfer Tiger Woods, who hosted the Genesis Invitational last week at Riviera Country Club, was hospitalized Tuesday morning, February 23, and underwent surgery for what his agent Mark Steinberg described as “multiple leg injuries” after a single-car crash at 7:12 a.m. on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Ranchos Palos Verdes.
Woods remained in the Los Angeles area after the tournament for a two-day shoot for Golf Digest/GOLFTV that involved the 15-time major champion giving on-course lessons to celebrities at Rolling Hills Country Club.
“The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed,” according to a statement from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “The vehicle sustained major damage.”
As the Post went to print Tuesday, no further details were available about Woods’ condition, but a traffic investigation was being conducted by investigators from LASD Lomita Station.
