It's a very windy road apparently. He is in the area organizing his upcoming golf tournament.

They had to use the jaws of life to get him out of the car. He was taken to the hospital with injuries.

Don't see any more details yet.

Tiger Woods was hospitalized following a bad single-car accident in L.A. County on Tuesday morning -- with officials requiring the jaws of life to free him from the vehicle.

"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 say.

"The vehicle was traveling northbound on Hawthorne Boulevard, at Blackhorse Road, when it crashed. The vehicle sustained major damage."

"The driver and sole occupant was identified as PGA golfer, Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods," officials confirmed.

"Mr. Woods was extricated from the wreck with the 'jaws of life' by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries."

Not that that is good, but it could have been worse.

Of course, these are early reports...

Sounds like his legs are mangled, but glad to hear no upper body or head injuries reported yet. Sounds serious, but not life threatening.

It does seem like his career will be over for sure though. He made the game so much more fun to watch.
