US LA police officials said that Tiger Woods was admitted to the hospital in a car accident at the dawn of our time today (24th).



The vehicle that Woods was riding on was overturned as it left the road and was severely damaged.



Woods is known to have no harm to his life, but it is said that he injured several legs and is undergoing surgery.



The exact details of the accident have not yet been determined.



Prior to the accident, Woods was reportedly taking photos for a golf magazine over two days.



The magazine said that Woods finished filming on Monday in good shape, but did not show up on set the next day.



Woods, who won 15 wins in the PGA major competition alone, was recovering after undergoing back surgery last month.



It is his fifth back surgery.



Afterwards, it is known that he stopped participating in the official tournament and performed treatment and rehabilitation in parallel with the aim of participating in the Masters in April.



Local media predict that today's accident will likely disrupt Woods' plan to return to Green in April.
