PGA Tour golfer Bill Haas was injured in a car crash Tuesday night near Riviera Country Club, site of this week’s Genesis Open in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Haas was the passenger in a Ferrari driven by an unidentified man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash also involved actor Luke Wilson, who was not seriously injured.
Haas was hospitalized after the crash but already has been released. He will miss the Genesis Open and will head back to his South Carolina home to recover, the Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis reports.
The accident, which occurred a few miles from Riviera, took place around 6:30 p.m. local time when the Ferrari clipped a Toyota SUV driven by Wilson in the 500 block of North Chautauqua Boulevard and collided with a BMW driven by a 50-year-old woman.

Haas, 35, and the woman from the other vehicle were taken to a hospital in serious condition. Los Angeles Police Department Detective Jeff Fischer told KTLA that Haas was the passenger in the Ferrari and was “doing okay,” and his father, former PGA Tour pro Jay Haas, told the Golf Channel on Wednesday morning that his son has no broken bones but was experiencing pain and swelling in his leg.
“Bill was very fortunate,” Jay Haas told the Golf Channel.
At least one person has been transported to a local hospital after two vehicles collided on the 500 block of Chautauqua Blvd.

“I believe the cause [of the Ferrari driver’s death] was a high rate of speed and the individual lost control, colliding into several vehicles,” Officer Mike Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department told the Palisades Post.
An agent for Haas has not yet responded to a request for comment and further information.
