“Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries. He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support,” Woods’s agent, Mark Steinberg, said in a statement to Golf Digest.

Woods was in California for a content shoot with Golf Digest/GOLFTV after hosting his annual Genesis Invitational, according to the magazine.

Fellow pro golfer Justin Thomas responded to the crash, telling an Atlanta TV station on Tuesday that he is “sick to my stomach.”

“It hurts to see … one of my closest friends, you know, gets in an accident and I just hope he’s alright,” Thomas said. “Just worried for his kids. I’m sure they’re struggling.”
