(Reuters) - Tiger
Woods has been moved to a new hospital in Los Angeles, the
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center said on Thursday, as he recovers from
multiple injuries sustained in a serious car accident this week.
The 15-time major winner underwent surgery to stabilize compound
fractures of his tibia and fibula, after the grisly accident on
Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff said Woods, 45, would not face
criminal charges in the crash.
"Woods was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for
continuing orthopaedic care and recovery," Harbor-UCLA Medical
Center interim CEO Anish Mahajan said on the hospital's Twitter
account.
"It was an honour to provide orthopaedic trauma care to one of
our generation's greatest athletes."
Woods, who recovered from numerous surgeries to break an 11-year
major drought and win the 2019 Masters, has received an
outpouring of support from friends, athletes and former U.S.
Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in the wake of the
crash.
