BREAKING: Tiger Woods Suffers Multiple Leg Injuries In Single-car Accident

Tiger Woods was hospitalized after being involved in a single-car accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.

According to his agent, Mark Steinberg, Woods suffered “multiple” leg injuries.

“He is currently in surgery,” Steinberg told Golf Digest, “and we thank you for your privacy and support.”

Woods, 45, was in California for a two-day content shoot with Golf Digest/GOLFTV after serving as host for the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational over the weekend.

Pictures surfaced on social media of Woods smiling with Dwayne Wade and David Spade at Rolling Hills Country Club on Monday, but with his movement still restricted, he did not hit balls or play any holes.

The shoot involved Woods giving on-course lessons to a number of celebrities, but he mostly provided instruction and hit a few putts. He was in good spirits on Monday but did not arrive to the course for the second day of shooting.

On Sunday, Woods told CBS’ Jim Nantz that he was awaiting the results of an upcoming MRI before he could ramp up practicing and training for a return to competition.

Woods last competed alongside his son at the PNC Championship, which finished on Dec. 20 in Orlando. He then underwent a microdiscectomy procedure to remove a pressurized disc fragment that was pinching a nerve. It was his fifth back surgery overall and the first since his spinal fusion in April 2017.

We will continue to update this post as more information becomes available.

See The Four Countries That Have Qualified For AFCON 2025 Group Stage Qualifiers

Published

on

By

Four more countries have just secured their places in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) group stage qualifiers after the second leg matches of the preliminary stage on Tuesday, March 26.

Liberia, South Sudan, Chad, and Eswatini are the last countries to enter the group stage of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, thanks to their aggregate win in a two-legged encounter.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/27/naira-appreciates-to-n1350-in-parallel-market/

The said countries had to enter the group stage of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers through the preliminary round due to their poor placement in the African ranking.

Eswatini almost lost the opportunity to qualify for the group stage qualification round as they struggled to draw 2-2 with Somalia in the second leg of the preliminary round. But their 3-0 win over Somalia in the first leg was all they needed to scale through 5-2 on aggregate.

Chad completed a home-and-away smashing of Mauritius before booking themselves in the group stage. They won the first leg 1-0 and finished it with a 2-1 second-leg win to scale through 3-1 on aggregate.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/27/bobrisky-reacts-as-police-summon-femi-adebayo/

Liberia made it to the group stage after defeating Djibouti 2-0 in the first leg and then drawing 0-0 in the second leg, which added up to a 2-0 aggregate victory.

South Sudan knocked out Sao Tome and Principe via an away goal rule after scoring a goal in their away 1-1 draw. The second leg, which was at home, ended in a 0-0 draw.

The four aforementioned countries will now join 44 other countries in the group stage of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. The qualifiers will produce 24 national teams for the tournament proper in Morocco next year.

I Won't Rule Out Playing At 2026 World Cup – Messi

Renowned Argentine football star Lionel Messi recently shared insights into his retirement plans.

During an interview on the Big Time Podcast, Messi offered glimpses into his future endeavours as he approaches the latter stages of his career.

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/27/why-she-almost-quit-acting-beverly-naya/

Since joining Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, Messi has significantly impacted with 16 goals and seven assists in 19 appearances across various competitions.

However, the 36-year-old has also grappled with injury issues, including a recurring hamstring problem and a recent knee injury, leading to concerns about his longevity in the sport.

Reflecting on his retirement plans, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner emphasized his self-awareness. 

https://gwg.ng/2024/03/27/mortar-and-pestle-church-where-members-pound-out-their-enemies-video/

He acknowledged that he evaluates his performances critically, always striving to maintain his high standards and not shying away from admitting when he falls short.

Messi stated his preparedness to retire from football when he feels incapable of performing at his peak or finding joy in the game, irrespective of his age.

Messi said, “I am very self-critical of myself. I know when I’m good, when I’m bad, when I play well, and when I play badly. When I feel it’s time to take that step, I will take it without thinking about age.

“I know that moment I feel I am no longer ready to perform, that I am no longer enjoying myself or helping my teammates.
