There's a ‘real sense of relief’ Tiger Woods is ‘on the road to recovery’: Murphy

Bridgestone Golf President & CEO Dan Murphy gives an update on the golf icon’s recovery after horrific car crash.

The investigation into Tiger Woods’ horrific crash reportedly put the focus on the "black box" located in the luxury SUV the golf legend wrecked last week in Southern California.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant to extract data from the "black box" in the 2021 Genesis GV80 to determine how fast the vehicle was going, among other things, according to a report Tuesday.

"We’re trying to determine if a crime was committed," Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy John Schloegl told USA Today. "If somebody is involved in a traffic collision, we’ve got to reconstruct the traffic collision. If there was any reckless driving, if somebody was on their cell phone or something like that. If there was no crime, we close out the case, and it was a regular traffic collision."

Authorities have already said that Woods will avoid reckless driving charges in the crash.

Woods, 45, suffered "multiple leg injuries" after being involved in a single-vehicle roll-over collision on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes last week.

It's the latest health setback for Woods, who has had nine previous surgeries.

The golfer is known for comebacks, though, winning the Masters in April 2019 for the fifth time despite four back surgeries and other health issues.
