PGA golfer Tiger Woods was involved in a very bad accident on Tuesday morning in California. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the accident near Los Angeles.
Initial reports said that the “jaws of life” had to be used to remove Woods from the SUV. However, the Los Angeles Fire Department refuted that report as their spokesman said that Woods went through the windshield after fire personnel used a pry bar.
The vehicle that Woods was in rolled over. The golfer was in the area, as he served as a tournament host of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.
