It was just after 7 a.m. The sun was shining.

And Tiger Woods' future in the sport that made him a household name was suddenly an enormous question mark.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Woods was already recovering from his fifth back surgery when he got behind the wheel Tuesday morning. By the time he was pulled from the vehicle, he was unable to stand.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Tiger Woods underwent “a long surgical procedure” on his leg, foot and ankle after being seriously injured in a rollover car accident in Rancho Palos Verdes on Tuesday.

Doctors had to insert a rod into his leg and placed screws into his foot and ankle, according to a statement posted to Twitter, which described Woods as “awake, responsive and recovering.”

It is unclear how long Woods will remain in the hospital or how his condition might affect his golf comeback.

Despite being invitation-only, Clubhouse has exploded into the mainstream in recent months.

As of last weekend, it’s larger than L.A. County, with over 10 million users — some of whom spend hours a day on the app.

@SamAugustDean explains: latimes.com/business/techn…
Many have been drawn by simple curiosity, or the promise of hopping into a room with a celebrity.

Some are chasing fame and exposure to the growing crowd.

Others are there because it’s their job to figure out what’s going on in the social tech world. latimes.com/business/techn…
For the most part, only the most popular performers are making money on Clubhouse, by soliciting tips from fans.

But there are also scammers. Grifts run the gamut from basic — convincing people to pay for app invitations — to multi-phase chicanery.

“I look forward to the day, and I think it’s coming sooner than we can imagine — in a month, month and a half, maybe two months max — where I think all of these tiers basically go away because we’re going to have so much vaccine supply in this country.”

As California sees a decline in COVID-19 cases, there is growing concern about another potential problem waiting around the corner: a new more contagious, severe virus strain that can evade antibodies generated by COVID-19 vaccines or prior infection.

latimes.com/science/story/… Image
Those attributes have some scientists worried that the homegrown California variant could reverse the state’s recent progress in reducing new infections — especially if it’s able to swap mutations with other threatening strains.

latimes.com/science/story/…
Experts believe the California variant likely emerged in the state in May.

By the end of next month, the homegrown strain will probably account for 90% of the state’s coronavirus infections, said Dr. Charles Chiu, an infectious disease researcher.
