Tiger Woods was "not drunk" during his single-car crash on Tuesday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday, calling it "purely an accident." "We can throw that one out," he said on the issue of Woods' sobriety. He added that there had been no evidence of impairment when authorities arrived on the scene. Woods was conscious and able to communicate as he was being removed from the vehicle, Villanueva said on Instagram Live. Woods, 45, was awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room early Wednesday morning after undergoing surgery for "significant orthopedic injuries" to his lower right leg. Dr. Anish Mahajan - chief medical officer and interim CEO at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center - said in a statement posted to Woods' Twitter that the star golfer had a rod inserted into his tibia to stabilize "comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bone." Screws and pins were inserted to stabilize additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle. "Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling," Mahajan said. Woods was the lone occupant of the 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV, which sustained major damage. "The interior (of the vehicle) was more or less intact, which gave him the cushion to survive. It otherwise would have been a fatal crash," Villanueva said Tuesday. The portion of Hawthorne Boulevard where the crash took place just after 7 a.m. PT Tuesday is curvy and steep with signs that warn drivers to use lower gears when going downhill. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. The street also features runaway truck ramps. There have been 13 accidents on that stretch of road since January 2020, Villanueva said. Woods, who shares the PGA Tour record with Sam Snead for most career victories at 82, was in Los Angeles to attend last weekend's Genesis Invitational, where he presented the winner's trophy. He was scheduled to be filming with GOLFTV and Golf Digest on Monday and Tuesday, giving on-course instruction to a number of celebrities, according to a statement from Discovery, GOLFTV and Golf Digest. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said he was "shocked" when he got the call about the accident. "I kind of had to sit down and ask the same question I had asked a second time because I wasn't sure I completely heard what I was being told," Monahan told reporters Wednesday at World Golf Championships-Workday Championship. Supporting Woods is the top priority right now, Monahan added. "When Tiger wants to talk about golf, we'll talk about golf, but I think right now the entirety of our efforts needs to be around the support," he said. "When you're going to overcome what he needs to overcome, I think the love of all of our players and everybody out here, it's going to come forward in a big way and across the entire sporting world. I think he'll feel that energy and I think that's what we should all focus on." Numerous athletes, celebrities and politicians also took to social media Tuesday to express their hopes and prayers for Woods' recovery. Former President Barack Obama tweeted: "Sending my prayers to @TigerWoods and his family tonight - here's to a speedy recovery for the GOAT of golf. If we've learned anything over the years, it's to never count Tiger out." The 15-time major champion told CBS's Jim Nantz over the weekend that he was hoping to resume more activity after the results of an MRI following back surgery in January. When asked if he would be ready in time for the Masters in April, Woods said "God, I hope so." Woods hasn't played a PGA event since the rescheduled Masters in November, though he and his son Charlie participated in an exhibition event in December. While Woods has had prior incidents behind the wheel, none have resulted in major injuries. The first was in 2009 after Woods' SUV ran over a fire hydrant and into a tree. This incident occurred just two days after the National Enquirer published a story alleging that Woods was having an affair. Subsequently, Woods checked into a rehabilitation clinic and stepped away from golf for five months. In 2017, Woods was parked on the side of the road, where the police found him asleep behind the wheel. The golfer was arrested on a DUI charge and later pled guilty to reckless driving. Woods said he had had an unexpected reaction to a prescription.

TORRANCE, Calif. - Tiger Woods told sheriff's deputies after crashing a car that he could not remember driving, and he did not know how the collision happened, according to an affidavit for a search warrant used to obtain the "black box'' of the vehicle Woods was driving Feb. 23.

Woods later said the same thing at the hospital, where he was treated for multiple leg injuries suffered during the crash, according to a copy of the search warrant affidavit obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

Woods initially was unconscious after the crash in Southern California when a resident found the golfer trapped in a loaner car and with blood on his face and chin, according to the affidavit, which was submitted by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Johann Schloegl.

"The deputies asked him how the collision occurred" at the scene of the crash, according to the affidavit ."Driver said he did not know and did not even remember driving... Driver was treated for his injuries at the hospital and was asked there again how the collision occurred. He repeated that he did not know and did not remember driving."

Schloegl said he believed information stored on the black box - such as the speed the car was traveling at the time of the crash - would assist in determining how and why the collision occurred, according to the affidavit.

Data from the car Woods was driving "constitutes evidence that tends to show the commission of a felony or misdemeanor offense,'' according to the form filled out to obtain the search warrant. But Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has said the ongoing investigation into the crash is not a criminal investigation.

"The investigators in the accident, or in the collision, they did a search warrant to seize in essence the black box of the vehicle,'' Villanueva said Wednesday. "And that's all it is. And they're going to go through it and see if they can find out what was the performance of the vehicle, what was happening at the time of impact. And with that, they'll have more information they can attribute the cause of the accident. And that's all it is, and we'll leave it at that, OK?''

Villanueva also addressed why the sheriff's department did not seek a warrant to obtain a sample of Woods' blood that could be used to determine whether someone was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

"In order to seek a search warrant, you have to have evidence of impairment,'' said Villanueva, who had previously stated there was no evidence that Woods was impaired at the time of the collision. "Absent the evidence of impairment ... you're not going to get a search warrant. It's not getting signed by the judge.

"And investigators will determine what is needed to determine the accident, or the traffic collision."

Car accident reconstruction experts told USA TODAY Sports that available evidence in the case indicated that Woods was not paying attention and had a "very delayed response" to the emergency when his vehicle, a Genesis GV80, left the road before crashing that day.

One said it looked like a classic case of being asleep at the wheel, because Woods' vehicle went straight into a median instead of staying with the road as it curved right. He then kept going straight into opposing lanes, then off the road, where he hit a tree and his vehicle rolled over. The vehicle traveled about 400 feet after hitting the median. There was no apparent evidence of braking on the road.

In 2017, police found Woods asleep at the wheel in Florida. He was arrested for drunk driving, and several drugs were found in his system then, including Ambien and Vicodin, according to a toxicology report released later. Recently, Woods, 45, has been recovering from a surgical procedure on his back.

Villanueva said Woods is "in good spirits."

"Which is a good sign,'' Villanueva said. "And hopefully he'll get himself back on his feet some point down the road.''

Golf superstar Tiger Woods had painkillers, sleep drugs and an ingredient active in marijuana in his body when Florida police arrested him in May, a newly released toxicology report shows.

The report says the five different drugs that were traced in his system were: Hydrocodone, an opioid pain medication; Hydromorphone, another type of painkiller; Alprazolam, an anxiety drug also under the brand name Xanax; Zolpidem, a sleep drug also under the brand name Ambien; and Delta-9 carboxy THC, which is found in marijuana.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office did not say whether Woods had prescriptions for all of the medications or medicinal marijuana, which is legal in Florida.

Earlier this month, Woods agreed to enter a diversion program that would see his driving under the influence charge dropped later this year.

Prosecutors say the four-time Masters champion will also plead guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving when he returns to court in October.

Woods said in a statement Monday that he had been trying to treat his back pain - which forced him out of competition in the summer of 2015 - along with insomnia on his own.

"I realize now it was a mistake to do this without medical assistance," he said. "I am continuing to work with my doctors, and they feel I've made significant progress."

He added that he recently spoke to his doctor about his lower back after getting another surgery in April, and that it is on its way to healing. Since his arrest on Memorial Day near his home in Palm Beach County, Woods has not detailed his plans for his future in golf.

But he has slowly returned to social media. He tweeted a picture of himself free diving for lobster earlier this month, responded in another tweet that he has not gotten back together with his ex-girlfriend, personal stylist Kristin Smith, and on Monday night, shared a photo of himself with 2017 PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas.
