Tiger Woods has been pulled from a wrecked car after a serious smash in Los Angeles.

The 45-year-old golfing legend was extracted from the wreckage after a single-car rollover on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes.

In a statement posted on Twitter, LA County Sheriffs said the vehicle sustained “major damage”.

The cause of the accident remains unclear, but Woods has been taken to hospital in a serious condition, and is undergoing surgery for injuries to his legs.

Golf News Net founder Ryan Ballengee told Ben Fordham his golf comeback is in doubt.

“This seems to confirm that it’s almost impossible for him to be able to compete (in The Masters).”
