Tiger Woods Spoke of Putting an End to his Career
The winner of 14 Major Tournaments and the world's richest athlete, Tiger Woods, admitted that he would never return to competitive golf.
Tiger Woods is "awake and responsive" following surgery on serious leg injuries suffered in a car crash in Los Angeles.
The 15-time golf major champion, 45, had to be "extricated from the wreck" by firefighters and paramedics.
Injuries to his foot and ankle have been stabilised with screws and pins.
"He is currently awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room," added the statement.
Police official said the golfer was "not able to stand under his own power" before being removed from the vehicle which had sustained major damage.
He said that the American was wearing his seatbelt and was "still calm and lucid" when he told him his name.
"It's very fortunate that Mr Woods was able to come out of this alive," he added.
LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said that Woods' car "crossed the centre-divider to the point that it rested several hundred feet away" and "that indicates they were going at a relatively greater speed than normal".
He added: "However, because it is downhill, it slopes and curves, that area has a high frequency of accidents. It is not uncommon."
Wood's car hit a kerb, a tree and rolled over several times. Villanueva added "there was no evidence of impairment" with Woods.
