Although the investigation has concluded for the Feb.23 car crash, L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said investigators will not release the cause of the accident due to ‘privacy issues’ from the athlete and his team. Villanueva noted during a press conference that he would have to ask permission from Woods’ team to formally disclose the cause of the crash to the public.
“A cause has been determined, the investigation has concluded. We have reached out to Tiger Woods and his personnel … There are some privacy issues on releasing information on the investigation so we’re going to ask them if they waive the privacy and then we will be able to do a full release on all the information regarding the accident.”
