Professional golfer Bill Haas was hospitalised but escaped serious injuries following a crash in Los Angeles that killed the driver of the Ferrari he was riding in and injured the driver of another vehicle, officials said on Wednesday.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 50-year-old woman, was hospitalized in serious condition.
The 35-year-old Haas, a six-time PGA Tour winner and the son of golfer Jay Haas, will withdraw from the tournament, Hobbs said.
“While Bill escaped serious injuries and has been released from the hospital, he is understandably shaken up and more importantly his deepest condolences go out to the host family during this tragic and difficult time,” Hobbs said in a statement.
