Indian golfers pray for Woods' quick recovery

India's top golfers Jeev Milkha Singh and Anirban Lahiri on Wednesday joined a stunned world in praying for the legendary Tiger Woods after his car met with an accident that landed him in the hospital with multiple injuries requiring a major surgery. Woods was in the driver's seat of a mangled SUV after it crashed on a steep roadway in the Los Angeles suburbs, with his legs seriously injured.

From former US presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama to famous boxer Mike Tyson, well-known personalities from all walks of life reacted with shock after the accident.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with @TigerWoods. We have seen you do impossible things in impossible situations in the past. Make this a routine recovery," Jeev Milkha wrote on his Twitter handle. One of the country's best golfers in recent years, Lahiri hoped Woods would overcome this hurdle like he has done a few times in the past. "Hard to imagine the challenges you have endured and overcome time and again. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thoughts and prayers with the family. Golf is praying Folded hands for you," Lahiri tweeted.

Woods, 45, was hospitalised after being extracted by firefighters and paramedics using the ' jaws of life' tool on the accident site. The car has suffered major damages. Woods, 45, completed surgery Tuesday night.
