Bear attack in Yellowstone National Park leaves 2 hikers injured
Two hikers were injured in a bear attack Monday on a popular trail just miles from Yellowstone National Park’s iconic Old Faithful geyser, prompting officials to close a large swath of the park as investigators work to determine what went wrong.
The attack happened Monday afternoon on the Mystic Falls Trail, a heavily traveled route near the Midway Geyser Basin that features a loop to a 70-foot waterfall, park officials said.
Emergency crews with the National Park Service responded quickly after the encounter, which officials described as a single incident involving one or more bears. Authorities have not yet identified the species involved.
Park officials temporarily shut down the surrounding area, including multiple trails and backcountry campsites, as the investigation continues.

Officials have not released details about the hikers’ conditions or whether they were traveling together.
The incident marks the first bear attack resulting in injuries in Yellowstone in 2026. The last similar incident occurred in September 2025, when a hiker was injured on a trail northeast of Yellowstone Lake.
Bear attacks in Yellowstone are rare despite the popularity of the park, which draws more than 4 million visitors each year. The last fatal attack inside the park occurred in 2015.

Yellowstone is home to both grizzly and black bears, with grizzlies generally larger and more aggressive. Officials said determining the type of bear involved will be part of the investigation.
The fate of the animal or animals involved will depend on the circumstances of the attack, including whether it was a defensive encounter or something more unusual.
Park officials are reminding visitors to take precautions when hiking in bear country, including staying at least 100 yards away from bears, carrying bear spray, making noise and hiking in groups.

Tiger Woods’ future, both within and outside the game of golf, is an uncertainty at this point following his March DUI arrest, but U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk wouldn’t mind putting something on the big cat’s calendar.
Woods was involved in a two-car accident on Jupiter Island, Florida, on March 27 and charged with two misdemeanors: DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. The 15-time major winner cleared 0.00 results on both breathalyzer samples he provided, but his refusal to submit to a urine test resulted in him being charged.
Woods was previously arrested in May 2017 on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs after he was found asleep in his car.

Four days after the accident and subsequent arrest, Woods announced that he would be stepping away from golf to “seek treatment and focus on my health.” He was granted permission to travel outside the United States to begin treatment.
Speaking ahead of this week’s PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, Furyk admitted that he had not talked to Woods since his March arrest, but made it clear he’d have a spot on his 2027 Ryder Cup staff.
“We haven’t spoken yet. I think, out of kind of courtesy for him and his family and I know maybe a road to health, I haven’t reached out, but I will,” Furyk explained.
“Definitely. We’ll see where that role may fall,” Furyk continued when asked if he anticipated having a role on the staff for Woods. “I will say I enjoyed serving – I use that word serving – as a vice-captain with him a number of times. I think he brought a lot to the team room and a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience.”
JIM FURYK SHARES THE ONE REASON HE CHOSE TO ACCEPT U.S. RYDER CUP CAPTAINCY
Woods was the presumed favorite to take on the role of U.S. Ryder Cup captain in 2025 at Bethpage Black, but reportedly declined the opportunity. He was also on the list of names who could serve as captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland, but his accident and arrest forced the PGA of America to go a different route, and one that led to Furyk being named captain.
Furyk was the captain of the U.S. side during the 2018 Ryder Cup, one that quickly turned into a nightmare for the Americans, who ultimately lost to Team Europe 17.5-10.5.
Not only will Furyk look to put the 2018 mess in the rearview mirror, but he’ll also be looking to lead the Americans to their first Ryder Cup victory on foreign soil since 1993.
The 2027 Ryder Cup will begin on Sept. 17.
