Basketball star Dwyane Wade played golf with Tiger Woods the day before Woods’ traffic crash, and he shared a video of the moment, which you can see later in this article.
“I told you all I was about to do something amazing today,” Wade says in the video, indicating that he had the “opportunity to come out here with this guy right here, man.”
The camera then reveals that Woods is standing behind him.
Woods was in a significant traffic crash on February 23, 2021, the day after he golfed with Wade.
He was in serious condition when authorities arrived, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be holding a press conference at 3 p.m. west coast time to provide additional details on the crash. There has been no additional condition update given since that time because Woods is in surgery.

Wade cut right to the case in the video.
“Tiger thank you for teaching me something. How good am I or how bad am I?” he asks.
“Um good,” Woods responds, but he’s laughing and shaking his head no at the same time.
“We’re getting better,” Woods said charitably.
Wade posted the video on Instagram shortly after news of Woods’ accident broke; it has had more than 200,000 views.
On Instagram, he shared a picture of the pair golfing and wrote, “The reason I picked up a golf club 🤯 Yesterday was a pretty cool day! Thank you @tigerwoods @golfdigest for this dope opportunity!”
Woods also played golf with actor David Spade the day before the crash. Spade posted a selfie with Woods on Instagram, writing, “Don’t you hate when you go golf somewhere and they pair you up with someone you don’t know @golftv @golfdigest.”
The next day, Woods was in surgery after the crash.
Woods Was in Serious Condition

“Tiger Woods was in a single-car accident this morning in California where he suffered multiple leg injuries,” Steinberg said in his statement to ESPN. “He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.”
A statement from the Sheriff’s Department says that, at 7:12 a.m. on February 23, 2021, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department “responded to a single vehicle roll-over traffic collision on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes.
