Tiger Woods: Surveillance video shows golfer driving minutes before Rolling Hills Estates crash

A video first obtained by TMZ Sports shows the moments prior to the single-car wreck involving golf superstar Tiger Woods.

The surveillance video shows a 2021 Genesis GV-80, a courtesy car driven by Woods, trailing a minivan on Hawthorne Boulevard in Rolling Hills Estates at 7:05 a.m. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to a call of the crash involving the golf legend at around 7:12 a.m.

Below is the video of Woods' courtesy car minutes before the crash (Video from TMZ Sports):

 

In the video, both Woods and the minivan are traveling uphill on the road. TMZ Sports says the video was shot about five miles south of the crash location -- near Blackhorse Road and Hawthorne Boulevard -- which was downhill.

FOX News reports Woods was running late when he left the hotel after waiting for his Genesis courtesy car from the valet. Woods has a contract with Discovery networks to be behind-the-scenes videos and "teaching lessons" with various stars. He had an early morning shoot at the Rolling Hills Country Club, FOX News reports. 

It is unknown if the minivan drive was also on their way to the shoot.
