Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash nearly 5 years ago.
Back in February 2021, Woods was involved in a rollover crash. The Los Angeles County authorities said he was driving roughly 84 to 87 mph in a 45 mph zone when this accident occurred. The impact of that crash led to him suffering open fractures to his tibia and fibula.
"Woods was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center by ambulance," the report from ESPN stated. "Later that night, Dr. Anish Mahajan issued a statement in which he said Woods suffered "significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity" and had emergency surgery for "open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portion of the tibia and fibula bones." Mahajan said Woods' leg was "stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia and additional injuries to the bones of his foot and ankle were repaired with screws and pins. To relieve pressure from swelling, doctors also removed the covering of muscles."
We're still waiting for an update on Woods' status. Hopefully, he avoided a major injury.
