The cause of Tiger Woods'<\/a> crash is for now being kept secret.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Country Sheriff Alex Villanueva said on Thursday (AEDT) that detectives had figured out why Woods crashed a borrowed SUV but would not disclose details without the golf icon's permission.<\/p>\n

"A cause has been determined, the investigation has concluded," Villanueva said during a live social media event.<\/p>\n

"It's completed, signed, sealed and delivered. However, we can't release it without the permission of the people involved in the collision.<\/p>\n

"There's some privacy issues on releasing information on the investigation, so we're going to ask them if they waive the privacy and then we will be able to do a full release on all the information regarding the accident."<\/p>\n

The County Sheriff has previously been criticised<\/a> for being quick to deem the incident an accident. Woods was not blood tested for alcohol or drugs.<\/p>\n

The golfer was driving the SUV at about 7am local time on February 23 when he crossed the median strip of a downhill section of road. The SUV left the road and rolled, with Villanueva saying that Woods was fortunate not to have been killed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Villanueva would not say what information had been discovered on the SUV's 'black box'. Authorities gained a warrant to retrieve the item<\/a> from the trashed vehicle, in the hope of finding useful data.<\/p>\n

Crash experts have told USA Today<\/a> since the investigation that the scene of Woods' accident was consistent with the driver having been asleep of otherwise inactive at the wheel.<\/p>\n

TMZ reported that there was no evidence of Woods ever using the brakes<\/a> during the crash.<\/p>\n

Woods is recovering at his home in Florida<\/a>, having undergone surgery for serious fractures to his lower right leg.<\/p>\n

There are doubts about the future of the 15-time major winner's golf career due to his injuries, on top of long-term back problems.<\/p>\n
