trailing only jack nicklaus, who has 18. he was also the youngest player to achieve the career grand slam. and is expected to be inducted into the world golf hall of fame this year. tiger's fame kept him in the headlines, but not all of it was positive. his squeezy clean image took a hit in 2009 when his suv struck a fire hydrant outside his florida home. a neighbor called 911. >> okay, is he trapped inside of the vehicle? >> no, they're laying on the ground. >> reporter: his wife had taken a golf club to the back of the suv's window. she said it was to free him. there were rumors that tiger had been unfaithful. before the couple decided to divorce tiger tried to cover up the affair, leaving this voice mail for the las vegas waitress he had been seeing. >> hey, it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please take your name off your phone? my wife may be calling you. >> reporter: he later apologized for infidelity. years later back pain sidelined the champion, forcing him to under go multiple surgeries. in 2017,

we, of course, echo what jack nicklaus has just said. josh campbell is with us over at the hospital. josh, are you getting new information on his condition? >> reporter: we're still waiting, wolf, for an update from officials here. we know after that crash, just after the 7:00 a.m. hour here in los angeles, woods was taken about eight miles to where i am. this is the nearest level one trauma center. harbor ucla medical center where he underwent surgery. at the time of the transport he was listed in serious condition. we're not sure if that's been elevated. as nick just mentioned our sources are saying the injuries are not believed to be life threatening. we do know that he suffered some compound fractures, that resulted in him being hospitalized here. you look at images of that vehicle and it's astonishing how violent of a crash that was. this was a rollover accident. you see serious damage to that vehicle and resulting in those very serious injuries for this golf superstar now recovering behind me here at a hospital outside los angeles.

golf legend jack nicklaus tweeting, barbara and i just heard about tiger's accident.ike everyone else, we're deeply concerned. we want to offer him our heartfelt support and prayers during his difficult time. please join us in wishing tiger a successful surgery and all the best for a full recovery. >> we spoke earlier with an emergency room physician dr. emily porter about woods' injuries. >> sounds like he's sliced basically from ankle to knee with a significant surgical incision. then he's got a rod in your major two bones in the lower leg. the tibia is a bigger one. he's got a big rod in there. that's going to hurt. and pins in his ankle and foot which will make it harder to walk, his balance will be off. there will be stiffness. he'll probably battle with arthritis. he'll be in for a couple months just in a cast, probably six to eight weeks in a cast. and then that comes off. as you know, when you're in a cast, your muscles actually get weaker, they atrophy because you can't move in a cast. then you have to go through all that we have in building up the muscles. i

you can always make a case for jack nicklaus. but you could also credibly make this case. at his very best, at the peak, late '90s through a good part of the early 2000s, at that point, maybe for a decade, tiger woods was the best golfer ever. >> the greatest indeed. how much do you think, and you covered him over the years, you watched him closely, how much do you think tiger woods evolved as a person and as an athlete through all of his injuries and all of his personal controversy? >> well, he was humbled. that puts it mildly. he went through not just a scandal but a very public humiliation. he had to read a statement upon his return to golf, he was sort of scolded by the head of the masters before he played at augusta upon his return. and then he was humbled as an athlete because his physical ailments and the time away and maybe the psychological stress, but mostly the physical ailments, took him down from his greatest peak. plus when he reached that peak, he was in his 20s. now he matures as a man, just with the passage of time and also with the events of his life. and

golf legend jack nicklaus tweeting, barbara and i just heard about tiger's accident, and like everyone else, we are deeply concerned. we want to offer him our heartfelt support and prayers at this difficult time. please join us in wishing tiger a successful surgery and all the best for a full recovery. this is where tiger woods' car finally came to rest, in this dirt by the side of the road. when the fire department got here, they said tiger woods was trying to get himself out of the car, but he couldn't. he also couldn't walk under his own steam. c compound fractures to his legs. these aren't life-threatening, but right here this could be where one of the most storied careers in sport came to an end. we don't know if tiger woods will be able to play golf professionally again. don? >> we certainly hope so, nick. i saw you there earlier, and it's dark, and i hope you can do this, give us a sense of where this happened, a sense of how far tiger's car rolled off the road, how far that is from the interstate. >> reporter: don, it is a lot harder in the dark, obviously. the road is over the

the last time he won the masters it reminded me that jack nicklaus won 17 majors, but there was six years majors but there was seven years between the one in 1980 and the last one in 1986. you always want it but you don't expect it. when tiger won the last masters, we were happy to get that one. we got to see him do it that one last time in that tournament, and it's entirely possible that will be the last time we see him in that sort of glory. i do hope that the fans appreciated it at the time, that we were fortunate to see him come back in that moment, and we might not see him as a golfer ever again. >> he's broken so many barriers, really. i think he's a living icon, right? there are very few people who one name, you say their name and they know exactly who you're talking about, with success and fame all over the world. tiger is one of those people. he broke so many barriers and had is to many successes as a person of color in a sport that is mostly white. struggled with that since he was four years old. i want you to watch this and then we'll discuss. >> but when it first hit home that

that's another plus for jack nicklaus. but tiger woods has 15 majors. that's the second most. you could make a very good case that at his very peak, tiger woods was the greatest golfer ever, that no one was ever as good as tiger was at his best. that alone doesn't explain it. some charisma of magnetism. michael jordan had it. tiger woods has it. tom brady has it. you have to not only have the accomplishments. you have to have the moments on the biggest stages. i know you're a baseball fan, jake. mike trout of the angels is the best baseball player and has been for a very long time. knowledgeable baseball people discuss him among the all-time greats but he has never been to the world series. >> right. >> he has no iconic moment. he doesn't have hank aaron trotting around the bases. tiger woods had it so many times over. one of those athletes doesn't know a body from a birdie. that's why right now this is the story of america. >> beyond that, something else he has in common with michael jordan, although a very different kind, is a come back tiger woods had a very different comeb

and i think most people would have thought that if he couldn't have tied or beaten jack nicklaus's recordhe one thing that he probably could have done was gotten at least one more win and become the winningest pga tour golfer of all time. we don't know the extent of these injuries right now, but if for some reason that these injuries are serious enough to forestall his ability to play golf again any time soon, he is 45 years old, steve mentioned it a moment ago, he's had a number of surgeries. it would be a cruel consequence at this point in his life. >> we've talked a lot about that when -- and at the masters in 2019, and the larger story for any consumer of comeback stories was just that. but what did it mean to the sport, that tiger was back on top in 2019? >> tiger's tiger. you know, there's never really been anyone like him. you know, i go back to the first event that i worked for nbc sports. it was the 2000 u.s. open at pebble beach. tiger won that championship by 15 strokes. he was the only player under par. everything he has done or not everything he has done, but so many of the t

steve sands, your thoughts. >> you know, to echo what jimmy was just talking about, jack nicklaus has the major championship record in golf with 18, and tiger is on 15. he has those 82 victories, the last coming in tokyo at the zozo championship back in 2019. also the year that he won his last major championship, the masters at augusta national golf club. and like jimmy said, if you go back to the irony part of it, in 2008, on nbc, tiger won against rocco mediate in a monday play-off at the u.s. open at torrey pines. the u.s. open will be played again on golf channel nbc this june at torrey pines, and tiger is so familiar with that golf course, and he won it that week with a broken leg. now this is a completely different scenario. but the irony there is definitely worth noting. and i think that for tiger, what tiger has been doing the last seven, eight years in the world of golf with his foundation, with his children completely different scenario than what tiger did as a professional golfer only competing against the best players in the world and being a machine with a focus unlike an

his quest to overtake jack nicklaus' all-time record derailed by a series of injuries.17, just a month after a fourth back surgery, woods was arrested for driving under the influence. a toxicology report showed he had a combination of drugs in his system, including prescription pain pills, ambien and xanax. woods issued an apology, saying he had been trying to self-medicate for back pain and insomnia. he later pled guilty to reckless driving. >> i've battled. i've tried to -- i try to hang in there, and i've tried to come back and play, play the great game of golf again. >> reporter: tiger's triumph at the 2019 masters even sweeter because he was able to celebrate with his kids, sam and charlie. >> look how proud dad is. >> reporter: and just months ago, the last time tiger played in a tournament, the world saw the famous competitor in a different role, proud dad. >> i don't think words can describe it. just the fact we were able to have this experience together, charlie and i, it's memories for a lifetime. >> reporter: this morning, the questions linger, will the man r

decade and he was still only in his 30s, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that he'd zoom past jack nicklausnow it appears fairly certain that 15 is going to be the number. but think of what the 15th was. a decade after his life and his career came tumbling down and after he had fallen out of the top rankings, he comes back and wins not just a major but wins at augusta, the most magnificent and historic of all stages. he has that. as i said to jake tapper earlier, if you were shooting a movie about tiger woods' life, the closing scene would not be this car accident, and it wouldn't be the way his life came crashing down around him in 2009. it would be that moment on the 18th green at augusta in 2019. >> a couple things here. you said that his presence was symbolically significant, right? >> mm-hmm. >> so let's talk about that and talk about, you know, his wins. that was 2015. he broke racial barriers with his success, no doubt. what did it mean, though, to see him, bob, put on that green jacket for the first time in 1997? >> well, i mentioned this with john berman a few hours ago, so i apolo

yes, jack nicklaus has more majors but i think even jack would concede that tiger has hit golf shotsver lived has hit. >> now, when you say hit shots, you have the mechanics and the skill, but also the pressure, bryant. this guy carries color. he carries class, he carried a lot of things in there with him. people watching this guy for better and worse in a way no golfer has ever experienced. >> yeah, he was under a microscope at all times from an early age. and yet he has so many moments, as you note, that continue to stand out. whether it's the shot from the fairway bunker at the canadian open or the shot in the dark at firestone. or the ace at phoenix. or the better than most putt at tpc. the guy managed to transcend the game and create moments that stay with you forever. my dear mother, god rest her soul, could not have told you the difference between a golf ball and a hockey puck, but whenever tiger woods was on, she was glued to the set. he was, to steal a phrase from my own network, he was must-see tv. when he was on, you had to watch. you had to watch. because it was what ever

that's what jack nicklaus has. i thought people thought he could get to 83 and be the win ingest play of of all time and now we have to wonder about that, but i do think it is an appropriate time to just down shift and be grateful for a human being whose life wasn't taken. >> and be grateful that a couple children didn't lose their dad and even if he can't play golf again, he would still be a remarkable figure in the history of sports. incredible and considered one of the greatest of all time. thank you for the updates. jimmy roberts, thank you for joining us. still ahead, protests and calls for serious reform after a grand jury declined to charge the officers in a deadly confrontation with a man in the throws of a mental illness crisis. >> and members of one party are still arguing that the election was stolen. >> and up next, reverend al sharpton just sat down with vice president kamala harris. h vice president kamala harris. i'm draymond green with my subway sub with tender steak and melty cheese. my sub is gonn

i mean you're talking about an all time great, i mean really the only argument is jack nicklaus and that'sn terms of number of wins not about dominant. so when you think about how do you think about that dominant street that he had for many many years woods was in los angeles hosting the genesis invitational. >>a pga tour event over the weekend at the riviera country club sidelined from competing himself while he recovers from his 5th back surgery. the day before the crash. and instructional round with basketball star dwayne wade thank you for teaching me some. >>how how good i might about it. good. >>those are everywhere that we're getting better and now another major bump in what has already been a rocky road and the hope that this crash is not the end of what has been a storied career there's going to be a road to recovery just to get back to walking just to get back to playing with his kids. >>and then let alone does he want to put in that time and that effort to get back on the golf course among those sending prayers to woods and his family former president barack obama adding if we'v

even if tiger doesn't play golf again, like jack nicklaus, arnold palmer who have staying power even after they're done, tiger will remain a big presence in the game of golf, even if he never plays in the masters one more time p.. >> he's going to be doing that first tee at augusta. he doesn't have anything left to prove to anybody in terms of golf, right? >> absolutely. >> sorry, i was going to go to wright with this. law enforcement says, as of now, there's no sign of impairment. no sign of impairment with tiger woods in terms of the accident they saw then. we don't know if there will be anything else that comes out. but where was tiger woods the last few years? in 2017 we know there was a dui where he said it was based on an overreliance on painkillers and he had all kinds of things in his systems. and he had acknowledged some kind of a struggle or process. but how much do we know about where he was with that? >> we don't know much. he's a very private person. he has two big boats, one of them is named "solitude" and the other one is named "privacy." and we really don't know. i th

tiger appeared to be on his with a to catching and passing jack nicklaus' record of 18 major titles. but that aura of inspinsability started to fade in 2009. the car crash, the scandal, the divorce followed. so did surgeries. seemingly constant procedues on his knee and his back. so many doubted that he would ever be the dominant force again. then in 2019, woods is back. he is the masters champion once again. his 15th major overall. and then late december of 2020, a couple of months ago, basically, his fifth back procedure led to another round of rehab and the likelihood that tying worry miss his favorite event, the masters in april. so who really knows at this point? will he ever win again on tour? will he ever even be close to the tiger of old? the thrill of competition and victory may give way to something else, something much simpler like watching his son charlie follow in his footsteps, perhaps to greatness himself. as tiger recovers from this crash, the best news is he will actually be there to see charlie grow up. this could have ended so much worse. chris alluded to kobe brya

anyone on the pga tour, tied with sam snead on that all time mark 15 major championships, second to jack nicklaus as you said, there have been the peaks, the valleys, the roller coaster. it seems as though after the last valley tiger picked up even more fans on the way back up, and we saw the golf world, the sports world, and just look at the coverage today everyone in america just kind of hold their breath, hoping for news that these were not life threatening injuries and wishing the best for tiger. >> oh, for sure. i hope he fully recovers you know doctors can work miracles these days, but after five back surgery, and we don't really know the details of the legs, this is going to be hard no matter what. >> you know, your first indication would be, yeah, this would be tough, but we've learned early enough in sports, in covering sports, you don't speculate on injuries. you wait to see what they are. the human body has shown to be incredible with medical technology, like you said, and tiger has been as resilient as any athlete, those five back surgeries and other procedures you kind of push that d

in all, he has won 15 major golf tournaments, trailing only jack nicklaus, who has 18.he career grand slam and is expected to be inducted into the world golf hall of fame this year. tiger's fame kept him in the headlines, but not all of it was positive. his squeaky clean image took a hit in 2009 when his suv struck a fire hydrant outside his florida home. a neighbor called 911. >> okay, are they trapped inside of the vehicle? >> no, they're laying on the ground now. >> reporter: his wife at the time had taken a golf club to the suv's back window. she said it was to free him. rumors began to swirl that tiger had been unfaithful. before the couple decided to divorce, tiger tried to cover up the affair, leaving this voice mail for the las vegas waitress he'd been seeing. >> hey, it's -- it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please, uh, take your name off your phone. my wife went through my phone and may be calling you. >> reporter: tiger later apologized for his infidelity. years later, back pain sidelined tiger, forcing the golf champ to undergo multiple b

jack nicklaus won his final masters at the age of 46.o tigers right at the edge of where professional golfers start thinking about the over 50 tour. so in terms of his career, obviously, the first concern at this point is just his health on that. he survived this accident, and it was described as somewhere between serious and critical but moving forward. no one knows at this point, but obviously. we will keep on top of this throughout the day, but everyone thinking and hoping nothing but the best for tiger woods at this point, absolutely one development at a time. we'll just keep an eye on on information coming out of there. thanks so much joe for the very latest. sure less than an hour ago, both marine in san mateo counties moved into the less restrictive red tear, allowing more indoor services to open. meantime today, governor gavin newsom sign bills giving relief to millions of californians struggling financially during the pandemic. ktvu james tourist tells us to tells us who can qualify for those payments and how soon they may arriv

i want to ask but the point you raised, i think earlier, talking about jack nicklaus leaving the sport on his own terms. how many was tiger driven to leave this sport on his own accord with that record in sight? that's what a lot of people are comparing him to. the historic record of masters wins. what do you think was the driving force for someone plagued by so many injuries, to continue playing this sport? >> certainly it's jack. when he won the masters, he talked about wanting his kids to say, look what dad can do. the old man is not too bad. and that was a really important thing for him. and being able to play soccer and kick the ball around with his kids. that was important, too, to have the back surgeries. but i think really showing his kids that he wasn't this old guy struggling to get around the house. he's talked about that before. he wanted them to see him at the top of his game. >> he is the leader on the top of the tour and the career money list leader, the youngest champion ever, first championship winner of african, asian heritage ever since he appeared on the golf scene.

the oldest player to ever win the masters was jack nicklaus. he was 46. i just hope he's okay and makes it back to the course. if he doesn't, listen, the guy's had an unbelievable career. >> knowing him as you do, does he have the will, the drive, the mental fortitude? many people who went through the public life that he had years before now would have said, i want to get out of the spotlight and go live my really nice private life. he never did. >> he never did. >> is he going to want to get back on the course and prove that he can do this again? >> i think as long as the process of getting him back on the course does not affect his everyday life to the point where he can't walk around with his kids and that kind of thing. he's definitely over the last few years, we've seen a side of him where family is first, he's become, you know, just kind of more human and more of a family person. so he's dedicated to his kids, he's talked about his kids a lot. yes, he wants -- he's the most competitive athlete perhaps ever. if anybody can do this, it's him. my only

to a whirring helicopter about how some random celebrity was nice to him in 1987 or whatever "jack nicklausshot he couldn't make. real son of a bitch. nasty guy. nice to me though. heard they called him the bear 'cause he [ bleep ] in the woods. [ light laughter ] a lot of people are saying it. >> seth: look, joe biden is inevitably going to make mistakes, as all presidents do, and there will be times when we'll have to push him on progressive priorities and hold him accountable, but with all that said, it's just a relief to competent administration of government again people just want things to work. instead, republicans intentionally wreck things, so they can turn around and say we should cut it." ted cruz basically says every day, "do you really want a man like me making decisions for you? a man who every morning puts glue on his face, then walks to the nearest barber and rubs his cheeks in the clippings? and now, republicans are eager to let trump off the hook for inciting a violent mob to overrun the capitol, because he's popular with gop voters that's basically the point lindsey graha

not to dissimilar who to aarnold palmer who has his tournament at bay hill and jack nicklaus at memorialoo far out to project what happens to tiger woods, if it is anything similar to ben hogan, ben hogan is considered one of the comeback stories, but tiger woods winning a major from 2008, with the surgeries and infidelity, scandal as well as dui to come back and win in 2019 at augusta national after not 11 years not winning a major i think that is the greatest comeback ever. neil: i think you're right. jim gray, good catching up with you even under these circumstances. we'll monitor anything we get from tiger woods' condition from california. we'll pass that along. meantime we talk about good economic numbers. the national retail federation talking about progress on covid getting behind us could lead to a 8% jump in retail sales activity this year. now we get news out of the gap that it plans to build a new distribution center in longview, texas, to meet rising demand for such topics. imagine that. after this. so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh.

jack nicklaus writing he and hi wife deeply concerned. we want to offer him our heartfelt support and prayers at this difficult time. phil mickelson, also sometimes a competitor, said, tiger, we are all pulling for you, but former president obama put it best -- here's to a speedy recovery to the g.o.a.t. of golf. if we've learned anything over the years, never count tiger out. michael? >> that is true. never count tiger out. that's right, matt. thank you so much. robin? >>> we're going to bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton with more on tiger's devastating injuries. so jen, what more can you tell us about his injuries and the surgical procedure? >> first of all, this is what falls under the umbrella of a major trauma. so in general, a patient in an accident like this would be going immediately to the operating room with multiple teams of surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, likely vascular surgeons, trauma surgeons to have this hardware put in the leg. it's called an open reduction internal fixation. so a rod goes into one o

majors, of course, everyone thinks that, because tiger is just a handful of majors away from taking jack nicklaust whether tiger can fully recover from this because of just how many injuries and surgeries he's already had. i would also say this, joe, because i'm a numbers guy, you know this and you are as well. i've been following the odds for tiger to win at augusta. even though we didn't know if he was going to play or not given his back issues right now. before the accident on certain vegas odds sites he was listed as a 31 to 1 odds of winning the masters at augusta later this spring he's now obviously been taken off the board. but it just goes to show you that the game of golf is always going to focus on tiger woods. a lot of people don't think he's going to win it per se but they always liked having him around i would say dustin johnson is 11-2 right now a prohibitive favorite >> there was a time years ago tiger versus the field, even money, that's how dominant he was. what i worry about, dom. and my knees aren't what they used to be all of your strength comes from your legs. i'm worried tha
