Woods transferre­d to LA hospital

-

LOS ANGELES: Tiger Woods has been transferre­d to a Los Angeles medical facility for further treatment, according to the hospital where he underwent surgery for serious leg injuries after his car crash. “Mr. Tiger Woods was transferre­d to Cedars-sinai Medical Center for continuing orthopedic care and recovery,” said Anish Mahajan, CEO of the hospital where Woods was first taken. “To respect patient confidenti­ality, Harbor-ucla Medical Center will not provide any further informatio­n,” added Mahajan.

Woods’ latest injuries have cast doubt on the golfing legend’s ability to compete at the top level again. The crash comes just two months after the Woods underwent his fifth back operation. The first officer to arrive at the scene of the crash said it was “very fortunate” that

Woods even came out of it alive. Woods was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, said Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva. The most Woods could face would be a low-level offense known as an infraction if investigat­ors conclude that he was speeding or not paying attention.
