Tiger Woods’ vehicle crossed the center of the roadway before crashing Tuesday morning, an official with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department told Fox News Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s kind of a downhill grade, and there are some winding turns, as well,” Capt. James Powers said. “It crossed the center median and went up the curb on the other side of the road, and it overturned into some shrubs.” 

He said he believes a person who lives near the scene reported the accident to deputies.

“It took them about six minutes to arrive on scene, and they found a vehicle that had been overturned,” Powers said, “and it was off into some brush.”

Powers told Fox that the cause of the accident is under investigation, but there are no signs of foul play. “That road is kind of a steep climb, and he was coming downhill. Speeds can increase just by the momentum of a vehicle,” he said.

 

Fred Ridley, chairman of the well-known Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, said that the "news of his accident is upsetting to all of us" and that "we pray for him, for his full recovery and for his family during this difficult time."

Ridley also said in the tweet that Woods is part of the "Augusta National family."

Some background: Woods has won the tournament five times throughout his career, most recently in 2019 – some calling it one of the greatest comebacks in sports. It was his first major title in 11 years and first Masters win since 2005.

Only fellow American, Jack Nicklaus, has won more Masters, with six. Woods also joins Nicklaus as the only player to have won the Masters in three different decades after he clinched his first as a 21-year-old in 1997.
