US golfer Tiger Woods injured in car accident in Los Angeles

Woods' agent Mark Steinberg told golf magazine Golf Digest that the golfer was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries.

Steinberg confirmed that Woods "is currently in surgery."

Law enforcement sources told The Los Angeles Times that Woods was traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control of the vehicle before crossing the center divider.

The sources told the newspaper that Woods' SUV rolled multiple times before coming to a halt and described his condition as "moderate to critical."

Law enforcement sources also told US celebrity-gossip site TMZ that Woods was alert enough at the scene of the accident to ask first responders to have his manager pick up his stuff. TMZ reported that police officers have not found anything illicit inside the vehicle.

The 45-year-old golfer was reportedly in California for his annual Genesis Invitational golf tournament over the weekend.
