Tiger Woods was speeding as fast as 87 mph — more than 45 mph above the legal limit — before his SUV crashed in late February in Southern California, badly injuring the golf legend’s leg, investigators said Wednesday.

Woods’ vehicle, a 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV, was going an estimated 75 mph when it crashed into a tree and began rolling over, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, citing a data recorder in the luxury vehicle.

The recorder showed that the vehicle at some points was going 68 to 86.99 mph before Woods failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway just outside Los Angeles.

It was at least Woods’ third mysterious motor vehicle accident.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva — who adamantly denied that Woods received favorable treatment in this investigation — said the most recent accident on Feb. 23 was the result of the 45-year-old Woods driving in an unsafe manner given the road conditions.

At a press conference, Villanueva also said there was no evidence that Woods was impaired or intoxicated at the time of the Feb. 23 crash in Rolling Hills Estates.

Investigators did not check to see if Woods was texting before the crash, saying there was no need to do so.

They also said they will not issue a citation for Woods, who is recovering at his home in Florida. To issue a ticket for reckless driving would require evidence that Woods had committed multiple violations before the crash, such as unsafe lane changes, or passing other cars unsafely, according to investigators.

Woods has no recollection of the collision, investigators said at the press conference.

Villanueva said he was able to release the cause of the crash only because Woods had consented to do so. Under the law, the sheriff said, such accident reports are confidential unless people involved in the incident agree to their public disclosure.

“The primary causal factor for this traffic collision was driving at a speed unsafe for the road conditions and the inability to negotiate the curve of the roadway estimated speeds at the first area of impact were 84 to 87 miles per hour,” Villanueva said.

Woods did not brake before he crashed the car, according to investigators. They said the data recorder reveals he may have inadvertently hit the accelerator instead of the brakes before the collision.
