Woods' ex Rachel Uchitel told the New York Post that she's been "shaken" by news of the crash.

"Obviously hearing the news has shaken me up as it's probably shaken everybody up to see that. Hearing [agent Mark Steinberg] say that he's in surgery for his legs is something that really worries me and when you hear a comment like that you know it's true," she said.

"He's an athlete and his legs are essential to his sport and to him being who he is and he's already had trouble with his body up until this point," Uchitel, 46, continued. "He didn't need any more injuries."
