He’s since been rushed to hospital…
Tiger Woods is in critical condition after a huge car accident this morning, rolling his vehicle across traffic after driving back from the The Genesis Invitational, one of his PGA Tour events.
The event came as Woods was already shaky with his health, suffering numerous back problems since competing last December. Thus, he was remaining cautious. However, after his car accident it’s unclear what condition his back and the rest of his body is currently in, the car being so damaged the jaws of life were used to extract him from it.
LA news crews provided footage and images of the wreck, showing Woods’ car totally brutalised on the side of the world.

This isn’t the first time Woods has been in a car accident, crashing his SUV in 2009 in Florida and passing out behind the wheel in 2017. Regardless, fingers crossed he makes it through okay.
