Tiger Woods has spoken out with an official statement following a car crash earlier today (February 23).

Earlier in the day, it was revealed that the 45-year-old pro golfer was involved in a single vehicle car accident that required surgery on his leg and ankle.

“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,” officials said in a statement. “The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage.”

Later that afternoon, the LA Sheriff’s office responded to press asking for more details and revealed that the crash was not due to impairment.

Now, Tiger and his team are speaking out after the crash.

“We thank everyone for the overwhelming support and messages during this tough time…He has undergone a long surgical procedue on his lower right leg and ankle after being brought to the hospital,” it reads, before adding another statement from his physician, Dr. Anish Mahajan.

The statement goes on, saying that Tiger is “currently awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room.”

There are new updates about Tiger Woods‘ car crash that took place this afternoon (February 23) in Los Angeles.

If you missed the news, Tiger, 45, was involved in a single car accident “on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Ranchos Palos Verdes”, officials shared in a statement about the incident.

During a press conference on the accident, LA sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed that Tiger was not impaired in any way when the crash occurred, via CNN.

He added that neighbors called 911 at 7:12 a.m. local time: “We have to assume they made that call almost immediately, as soon as it happened, because the neighbors are sitting right within 50 feet of the location.”

Villanueva did say he believed that Tiger‘s SUV was traveling at a high rate of speed as it was traveling on a steep downhill slope, which led to the roll over.

Tiger was airlifted to a local hospital and underwent surgery on his legs.

The PGA golfer was involved in an accident in 2017, and in 2009 in Florida. The latter unveiled a cheating scandal that led to his divorce from Elin Nordegren.

More details are coming to light about Tiger Woods‘ car accident on Tuesday (February 23).

The 45-year-old golf legend suffered a devastating accident, resulting in “multiple” leg injuries requiring surgery.

“Law enforcement source tells me that as of right now, there is nothing ‘salacious’ about the Tiger Woods crash. No charges pending. He went off an embankment and rolled and it is currently just an investigation for a bad traffic accident as of *right now*,” FOX LA reporter Bill Melugin tweeted.

“I’m told Tiger Woods was conscious and speaking to deputies when they arrived on scene. I’m also told Sheriff Alex Villanueva will be holding a press conference at the Lomita Sheriff’s station at 3pm.”

The PGA Tour Commissioner has also issued a statement following the news.

You can see footage from the wreck…

Tiger Woods has undergone surgery on his back due to a pinched nerve.

The 45-year-old golf champion is on the mend after the “microdiscectomy procedure to remove a pressurized disc fragment that was pinching his nerve after experiencing discomfort following the PNC Championship.”

Tiger‘s team shared a message on his official Twitter account with a message to fans on his condition.

The golfer himself shared that he is looking forward “to begin training and am focused on getting back out on Tour.”

This is Tiger‘s fifth back surgery since 2014, when he first alleviated the pain of the pinched nerve.

While he will not be competing at the Farmers Insurance Open later this month nor the Genesis Invitational in February, he is still expected to serve as the tournament host for the latter event.

At the end of 2020, Tiger competed in an amateur golf competition with his 11-year-old son, Charlie.
