Tiger Woods receives outpouring of support after car accident in California
Just days after hosting the 2021 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club north of Los Angeles, Tiger Woods was injured in a single-car accident and needed to be pulled from his vehicle by the Jaws of Life on Tuesday morning.
“Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries,” said his agent, Mark Steinberg, via a statement. “He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.”
The news led to an outpouring of support for the 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, who has been recovering from a fifth back surgery.

"I'm sick to my stomach," said an emotional Justin Thomas, who teared up as he spoke ahead of the WGC-Workday Championship. "You know, it hurts to see one of your ‑‑ now one of my closest friends get in an accident. Man, I just hope he's all right. Just worry for his kids, you know. I'm sure they're struggling."
