Just days after hosting the 2021 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club north of Los Angeles, Tiger Woods was injured in a single-car accident and needed to be pulled from his vehicle by the Jaws of Life on Tuesday morning.
The news led to an outpouring of support for the 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, who has been recovering from a fifth back surgery.

“I’m sick to my stomach,” said an emotional Justin Thomas, who teared up as he spoke ahead of the WGC-Workday Championship. “You know, it hurts to see one of your ‑‑ now one of my closest friends get in an accident. Man, I just hope he’s all right. Just worry for his kids, you know. I’m sure they’re struggling.”
