Tiger Woods has been involved in multiple car accidents. On Saturday, NBC Sports confused two of them.
The error occurred during the network’s studio show before coverage of the third round of the Texas Children’s Houston Open, which included mention of the Friday night incident in which Woods was arrested for DUI. Instead of visuals from that latest crash, NBC showed images from Woods’ high-profile crash in Southern California in 2021.
Late on the air, as the final group of the day was finishing the 14th hole, the main play-by-play announcer Dan Hicks entered to set the record.
“We want to take this time to make a correction,” Hicks said. “Before we went on air today, our studio inadvertently showed the wrong photo of the car crash Tiger Woods was in. It was another previous car crash. It wasn’t the right one – the last one was yesterday. We apologize for that and just want to fix it before we go any further.”
The broadcast team had not addressed Woods’ latest incident at the top of Saturday’s coverage, but it did come up when lead analyst Kevin Kisner — who plays alongside Woods on his TGL team — offered a grim response to the news.

“Very disturbing,” Kisner said. “He was working really hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape. He signed up for the US Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do everything he could to get back — try to help our TGL team, get ready, hopefully try to play the Masters. Just a really unfortunate incident.”
“One positive,” Kisner said, was that “nobody was hurt in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.”
Woods was arrested just before 2pm on Friday in Jupiter Island after he tried to pass a work truck on a two-lane road near his home. His Range Rover clipped the back of the truck trailer and rolled onto its side. There were no injuries from the incident. But Woods, who was able to escape from the passenger side of the vehicle, was later charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
