TIGER WOODS has been moved to a new hospital in Los Angeles in the next stage of his recovery from multiple injuries sustained in a serious car accident.
Open fractures to the 45-year-old’s tibia and fibula and further injuries to his foot and ankle were stabilised during surgery with the insertion of a rod, screws and pins.
The severity of the injuries, coupled with the fact that he was already sidelined following a fifth back operation, leaves the prospects of the 15-time major winner being able to return to action hanging in the balance.
“Woods was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for continuing orthopaedic care and recovery,” Harbor-UCLA Medical Center interim CEO Anish Mahajan said on the hospital’s Twitter account.
“It was an honour to provide orthopaedic trauma care to one of our generation’s greatest athletes.”
Woods survived “what would otherwise have been a fatal crash” on Tuesday morning because the interior of his vehicle remained largely intact, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
He added that “deputies at the time did not see any evidence of impairment” after arriving on the scene at 7.18am local time and confirmed on Wednesday that Woods was “not drunk” and that the crash was “purely an accident”.
It’s John Delaney that should be put in row z !!!
He is overrated & not in the top 50 in the world in my opinion…. I’m all for people loving themselves but this guy takes it to the narcissistic zone.
He’s an amazing player. granted he’s not in the real top elite Ronaldo /Messi level but he’s easily in the top 50. A complete narcissist but every bit as good as he thinks he is.
He’s won a league title in 9 of the last 10 years, being the top scorer for his club in 9 of those seasons!! He’s a world class striker, easily top 8 players in the world!
