Tiger Woods is being showered with love and support from celebs following his serious car accident.
As we reported, the golf legend was involved in a single vehicle roll-over traffic collision in Los Angeles County on Tuesday morning. At the time, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Woods was removed from the vehicle using the “jaws of life,” noting the golfer’s injuries are “non-life threatening” and that they don’t believe alcohol played a role in the crash at this time. A source from the fire department would later dismiss the “jaws of life” claim.

“Praying for TW right now.”

“We’re getting better!”
