Tiger Woods has been moved to a new hospital in Los Angeles as he recovers from multiple injuries sustained in a serious car accident this week.
The 15-time major winner underwent surgery to stabilize compound fractures of his tibia and fibula, after his horror accident on Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff said Woods, 45, would not face criminal charges in the crash.
"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, who recovered from numerous surgeries to break an 11-year major drought and win the 2019 Masters, has received an outpouring of support from friends, athletes and former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in the wake of the crash.
Officers yesterday disclosed more details of the superstar golfer’s condition after revealing no charges will be brought against him.
Woods, 45, was calm when he was found trapped in a loaned SUV after Tuesday’s accident in California, said Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
He added: “At the hospital he was asked about it by investigators and said he had no recollection of the crash itself.”
Deputy Carlos Gonzalez, first on the scene six minutes after a 911 emergency call, said: “I don’t think he was aware of how gravely he was injured at the time.
"It could be a mixture of adrenaline, it could’ve been shock.
“From the moment he rolled over to when I arrived it was very quick, so I don’t know if he had time to fully assess his injuries.”
Deputy Gonzalez said he saw no signs of Woods being impaired by alcohol, which was why no blood test was performed.
