UPDATE FROM LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods was moved to another hospital Thursday to continue his care and recovery after a rollover crash left the golf star with serious leg injuries.
Woods, 45, was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center “for continuing orthopedic care and recovery,” Dr. Anish Mahajan, interim CEO of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said in a tweeted statement.
Woods underwent emergency surgery at Harbor-UCLA shortly after the single-car crash Tuesday morning in southwest Los Angeles County. Doctors inserted a rod into his right leg, and pins and screws were used to stabilize his ankle and foot injuries.
Mahajan said that out of respect for Woods’ privacy, the hospital would not provide further information about his care.
“On behalf of our staff, it was an honor to provide orthopedic trauma care to one of our generation’s greatest athletes,” he said.

Tiger Woods on Tuesday sustained serious injuries after his SUV rolled over and crashed in suburban Los Angeles. He had to be pulled out through the windshield, and he is currently undergoing leg surgery. While this is not the first time that the champion golfer has fought injuries, setbacks, controversies and what is generally referred to in golfing as ‘the yips’, Tiger fans will be quietly hoping that his resilience can extend to this more severe and serious blow.
Here are 10 times Tiger Woods has fought back:
December 2002: He went through surgery to remove fluid from around the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his left knee. Woods then went on to win in his first start back at the 2003 Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines.
April 2008: Woods had arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage damage to his left knee. Later, it was revealed that had a pair of stress fractures in his left tibia.
June 2008: After playing through pain to claim the U.S. Open title at Torrey Pines, Woods did not return for nine months, losing to Tim Clark in the second round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February 2009 in his first start back.
May 2010: He withdrew during the final round of The Players Championship, because of a bulging disk. ‘I’ve been playing with a bad neck for quite a while,’ he had said.
May 2011: Woods again withdrew from the Players Championship after nine holes, exiting early from TPC Sawgrass for the second consecutive year. ‘The knee acted up and then the Achilles’ followed after that,’ he tells reporters.
March 2012: He withdrew with seven holes left in his final round at the WGC-Cadillac Championship, citing an injury on left Achilles’ tendon. ‘
March 2014: Woods withdrew on the 13th green in the final round of the Honda Classic, because of lower back spasms. Woods shot 5-over 40 on the front nine.
February 2015: He walked out after completing 11 holes of his opening round at the Farmers Insurance Open, because of a back injury. Woods explained that the injury stemmed from enduring multiple fog delays before the start of his round and that he was unable to keep his glutes activated.
September 2015: He announced that he underwent a second microdiscectomy surgery two days prior to remove a disc fragment that was pinching his nerve.
February 23, 2021: On Tuesday he sustained serious injuries after his SUV rolled over and crashed in suburban Los Angeles. He had to be pulled out through the windshield, he has undergone leg surgery.

The PGA Tour without Tiger Woods was always inevitable purely because of age. His shattered right leg from his SUV flipping down a hill on a sweeping road through coastal Los Angeles suburbs only brings that closer “SAYS SOME”, “MAYBE TO A LESSER MAN”, ” NOT TIGER WOODS “.
Golf wasn’t ready Wednesday to contemplate the future of its biggest star after the 10th and most complicated surgery on the 45-year-old Woods. There was more relief that he was alive.
“Listen, when Tiger wants to talk about golf, we’ll talk about golf,” Commissioner Jay Monahan said at the World Golf Championship in Florida. “When you’re going to overcome what he needs to overcome, I think the love of all of our players and everybody out here, it’s going to come forward in a big way and across the entire sporting world.
“I think he’ll feel that energy and I think that’s what we should all focus on.”
Woods made it clear what he faces with an update posted early Wednesday to social media by his team that outlined the “long surgical procedure” at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Anish Mahajan, the chief medical officer, said Woods shattered tibia and fibula bones on his right leg in multiple locations. Those were stabilized by a rod in the tibia. He said a combination of screws and pins were used to stabilize additional injuries in the ankle and foot.

Four previous surgeries to repair ligaments were done on the left knee. This is the first major trauma to the right leg. Woods has had five surgeries on his lower back in the last seven years. The most recent was in December, a microdiscectomy to remove a pressurized disk that was pinching a nerve.
“I would say, unfortunately, it’s very, very unlikely that he returns to be a professional golfer after these injuries,” said Dr. Michael Gardner, chief of orthopedic trauma at Stanford Medical Center. “His age, his multiple back issues, this is going to be a very long road ahead if he chooses to attempt to return to his previous level of golfing.”
Can golf do without the player singularly responsible for its growth? NOT A CHANCE, TRULY IMPOSSIBLE!!!
His watershed victory in the 1997 Masters sent media interest in golf soaring. More than just the first player of Black heritage in a green jacket, he won at a more prolific rate than anyone in history. The timing was impeccable, for the PGA Tour negotiated a television contract that made prize money spike.
Woods won his first tournament as a 20-year-old in the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, where the total purse was $1.65 million. At the World Golf Championship this week, first place alone is worth $1.82 million.

Woods made everyone rich.
What now?
The PGA Tour has been down this road before.
Ten years ago, when Woods was still smarting from the sordid revelations of serial adultery and missed three months with more injuries, the PGA Tour negotiated a nine-year television deal with increased rights fees. There was no assurance Woods could get back to the top of his game.
Woods was playing a small schedule even when he was younger and healthier. He has never played more than 21 times in a year on the PGA Tour, which stages events in 46 weeks this season.
He also tends to return to the same courses. But when he plays, and there isn’t a pandemic, no one needs to study TV ratings to measure his impact. Fans often stand six and seven rows deep behind tees and greens to get a look. No other player attracts that kind of attention. The top 10 in the world combined don’t do that.
Woods doesn’t move the needle. Woods is the needle.
“It’s always great when he plays at a tournament or is out here because it gives that tournament an extra dimension that it usually doesn’t,” four-time major champion Rory McIlroy said. “We were all sort of heading towards that day that Tiger wasn’t going to be a part of the game.”
Woods had only one top-10 finish last year, and that was before the pandemic. Even after golf returned, he waited an additional month to get started. He played only seven times since July and never cracked the top 35. He remains one victory short of his 83rd victory, which would set a PGA Tour record, the one most reasonable for him to break. That was before the crash.

McIlroy already has seen one comeback. He often talks about having lunch one day with Woods in Florida, right after Woods’ fourth back surgery to fuse his lower spine. He saw the pain. And two years later, he saw Woods win the Masters for a fifth time, his 15th major.
“I don’t want to take anything away from what Ben Hogan did after his car crash or any of the other comebacks that athletes have had in other sports, but right now I can’t think of any greater comeback in sports than the journey that he made from that lunch we had in 2017 to winning the Masters a couple years later,” McIlroy said.
Hogan threw himself in front of his wife right before they were struck by a Greyhound bus in 1949. He broke his pelvis, collarbone and left ankle, chipped a rib and had blood clots that left him with circulation problems the rest of his life. Hogan was 36 at the time.

What the future holds for Woods and for the tour is not anything players were ready to embrace.
“At this stage, I think everyone should just be grateful that he’s here, that he’s alive, that his kids haven’t lost their dad,” McIlroy said. “That’s the most important thing. Golf is so far from the equation right now, it’s not even on the map.”
List of career achievements by Tiger Woods

- Woods holds at least a share of the record for lowest 72-hole score in relation to par in one of the four majors.

Woods and Nicklaus have both achieved this twice: Woods in 2000 and 2005, and Nicklaus in 1971 and 1973. Fowler joined the list in 2014, Spieth joined in 2015, and Koepka joined in 2019.
- Woods and Bobby Jones are the only golfers to have won 10 majors before the age of 30. Jones achieved 13 majors in 21 attempts, (winning percentage 62%), while Woods achieved 10 wins in 44 attempts (a 23% winning ratio).[13]

U.S. Open
- Woods holds the record for the largest margin of victory at the U.S. Open based on 72 holes (no playoffs): 15 strokes (2000).

- Also in 2000, Woods became the first player to finish a U.S. Open at double digits under par. (In 1992, Gil Morgan was the first ever to be double digits under par at any stage of a U.S. Open, but failed to finish in double digits under par, and indeed failed to win that event, with Tom Kite winning instead.)
