Tiger Woods transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles

Tiger Woods, who was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash on Tuesday, has been transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to a statement released Thursday.

Dr. Anish Mahajan said Woods, 45, was moved from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center "for continuing orthopedic care and recovery."

"On behalf of our staff, it was an honor to provide orthopaedic trauma care to one of our generation's greatest athletes," Mahajan said in the statement.

On Tuesday, Mahajan said Woods sustained multiple "open fractures" to his lower right leg and had a rod placed in his tibia and screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.
