Tiger Woods has no recollection of the crash that left him with a broken right leg – and doesn’t seem to know how seriously injured he was when the First Deputy arrived at the scene, according to reports.

Deputy Sheriff Carlos Gonzalez, who was the first to arrive at the scene, told NBC’s “Today” Wednesday that the golf legend was calm, but didn’t seem to know how much he had been injured.

Gonzalez wore his body camera while interacting with Woods and the footage should be available in the near future, according to USA Today.

Woods faces a long road to recovery that includes extensive physical therapy and additional operations on his broken leg, medical experts told The Post.
