US Broadcaster Apologizes for Mistaken Footage of Tiger Woods' Car Accident

NBC, a US television network, has apologized to Woods after airing footage of the wrong vehicle following his recent crash and arrest.
The 50-year-old golf star was arrested on charges of driving under the influence after his SUV crashed on a residential road in Florida.
During the incident, Woods attempted to overtake a truck and trailer, which resulted in his vehicle tipping over onto its side.
When reporting on Woods' arrest, NBC mistakenly showed footage from a 2021 car accident in California, where Woods suffered serious leg injuries.

Another viewer criticized NBC for showing old footage instead of covering the recent accident.
A third person expressed disappointment that NBC used old footage to sensationalize the story.
One viewer joked that an NBC intern must have simply searched for 'Tiger Woods car crash' and used the first result.
NBC has since issued an apology for the mistake, acknowledging that they showed the wrong footage.
The network's presenter, Dan Hicks, apologized for the error and explained that it was an incorrect picture of a previous car crash.
Hicks clarified that the footage shown was not from the recent accident, but from a previous one, and apologized for any confusion.
Woods was arrested and taken to a jail in Florida, where he was charged with two misdemeanors related to driving under the influence.
According to the authorities, Woods showed signs of impairment, allegedly caused by medication or drugs, but he was cleared of alcohol consumption.
Despite his arrest, Woods is still scheduled to appear at the upcoming Masters tournament in Augusta.
This will be one of Woods' first major appearances since the 2024 Open Championship.
