Tiger Woods' car accident in Los Angeles which caused 'significant' injuries to his right leg casts a shadow over World Golf Championships event in Florida

A vehicle rests on its side after a rollover accident involving golfer Tiger Woods in Los Angeles, California, US on February 23, 2021.

Fifteen-time major winner Woods was awake and responsive on Wednesday after a car crash the previous day in Los Angeles in which he suffered "multiple leg injuries," according to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where he underwent surgery to stabilise compound fractures of his tibia and fibula. The US flag flutters outside the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where professional golfer Tiger Woods was brought following his accident, in Torrance, California, U.S., February 24, 2021. Prominent sporting figures — as well as former US presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama sent their well-wishes.

"It's kind of strange to share the same idol as everyone else out here, but we all do for a good reason," said the 27-year-old American. "He is the reason a lot of us are playing golf and the reason a lot of us do what we do."Woods, an 82-time PGA Tour winner, had hoped to compete in the upcoming Masters, the site of his epic career comeback, where he broke an 11-year major drought in 2019 after undergoing numerous surgeries.
