Golfer Tiger Woods was in the hospital Tuesday after being involved in a single-vehicle accident in Los Angeles, police said.
Woods was rescued from the shipwreck with the “jaws of life” by firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
“Woods was in a car accident this morning in California, where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we appreciate his privacy and support,” said Mark Steinberg, his agent.
The full extent of Woods’ injuries was not immediately known. The vehicle suffered significant damage, authorities said.
Police responded to a rollover traffic collision at around 7.12am local time and said a traffic investigation was underway.
The 45-year-old American had hosted the annual Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club over the weekend, but did not compete due to ongoing problems with his surgically repaired back.
