Holy shit! Hopefully he's alright.

I wanted to make a Bruce Jenner joke, but didn't.

Hope he's ok.

Hate to speculate, but it was a single vehicle crash, he's the sole occupant, in a residential neighborhood in nice weather... His 2017 DUI toxicology report had Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC.

Good news.

And this crash was at 7am. Also hate to speculate, but with his history and all of those things considered, its really hard not to. Also, the "y" button on my POS keyboard keeps sticking and it's driving me crazy. Maybe I'll wake up in a white hot rage about it tomorrow. More to follow. :)

Tiger Woods was alive and conscious when first responders rushed to the scene of a single-vehicle rollover crash Tuesday morning, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.

Villanueva said that Woods was driving at a "relatively greater speed than normal" when he crashed in a hilly area and that Woods was driving northbound when he hit a center divider and flew several hundred feet. He added that there was no evidence of impairment when emergency personnel arrived.

"[The vehicle] crossed the center divider, to the point that it rested several hundred feet away so obviously that indicates they were going at a relatively -- a greater speed than normal. However, because it is downhill, it slopes and it also curves," he said. "That area has a high frequency of accidents. It’s not uncommon."

Prior to Tigers Woods’ horrific car crash on Tuesday, the legendary golfer was getting ready to pass along his knowledge of the game to two NFL stars.

Woods, who has been working with Discovery Networks, was expected to tape two "teaching lessons" at the Rolling Hills County Club at 8 a.m. local time. He was expected to meet with New Orleans Saints legendary quarterback Drew Brees and Los Angeles Chargers up-and-coming star Justin Herbert.

Sources told Fox News that Woods was running late when he took off from the hotel after waiting for his SUV from the valet. The sources said that Woods’ crew and a handler went ahead to get things for the shoot ready. They were waiting for about two hours before hearing about the crash.

Tiger Woods recovering from lengthy surgery to repair 'significant' injuries to right leg


As part of a statement on Woods' official Twitter account, Dr. Anish Mahajan of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center updated the famed golfer's condition, saying in part that Woods had multiple "open fractures" to his lower right leg, and he had a rod placed in his tibia and screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during an emergency surgery.

"Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia," said Mahajan, the chief medical officer and interim CEO at Harbor-UCLA. "Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling."

A comminuted fracture means the bone is broken into more than two pieces; open means a break in the skin.

Yuck.

Given that leg injuries were already kinda derailing his golf career this might just about do it for that. Still really fortunate if that's the worst result of the crash, but would be a bummer if that's it for his career.

Kind of strange since Ambien is a drug to help people sleep.
