Mr. Tiger Woods has been transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to continue his orthopedic care and convalescence
said on Twitter Dr Anish Mahajan, acting director of Harbor-UCLA Hospital, where the champion was transported by rescue after his accident.
It was in this trauma center located south of Los Angeles that he had been operated on for a long time on Tuesday, in particular for multiple open fractures
to the right leg which required inserting a metal rod into the tibia and screws to consolidate the bones of the foot and ankle.
In order to respect medical confidentiality, the Harbor-UCLA center will no longer provide additional information on the patient
, adds the press release, specifying that the nursing staff had the honor of providing orthopedic care to one of the greatest athletes of our generation
.
According to the police officer who discovered the injured but conscious champion in his seriously damaged car on Tuesday morning, Tiger Woods was very lucky to make it out alive
.
Tiger Woods rolled over several times after presumably losing control of his vehicle on a steep, crash-prone road near Los Angeles.
According to the county sheriff, Woods was circulating at a relatively faster than normal speed
on a portion limited to 72 km / h, specifying that no sign of braking had been noted.
No other vehicle was involved and there is nothing to suggest that the golfer was under the influence of alcohol or other substances, according to the first elements of the investigation which could last several weeks.
Tiger Woods was in the California megalopolis due to a tournament he sponsored, the Genesis Invitational, which wrapped up last weekend.
Recently operated on the back, for the fifth time, he had confided Sunday that he was not sure to play the Masters in April. The champion has won 82 American Golf Tour (PGA) tournaments in his career, tied with the legendary Sam Snead (1912-2002).
