Tiger Woods won’t be facing any reckless driving charges according to law enforcement as the crash did not involve any other cars. ‘A reckless driving charge has a lot of elements into it, this is purely an accident,’ Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told reporters. The 45-year-old could at most face a low-level offense known as an infraction.

Tiger Woods went through a long surgical procedure on his right leg and ankle. According to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center chief medical officer Anish Mahajan, the 45-year-old suffered ‘significant orthopedic injuries’ which were treated by specialists. This included the insertion of a rod into Woods's shinbone and the use of 'a combination of screws and pins' to stabilize his foot and ankle.

Following his operation, Woods was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday night ‘for continuing orthopedic care and recovery.’ Several including former USA president Barack Obama and Mike Tyson took to social media to wish the 15-time major champion a speedy recovery.
