a career filled with remarkable comebacks, Tiger Woods faces perhaps his toughest recovery of all.
Whether he’ll ever be able to return to golf professionally after the shocking car crash in Los Angeles that saw the 45-year-old rushed to hospital to undergo surgery, is a grave concern for many of his supporters.
Woods was driving alone through a sweeping, downhill stretch of road through coastal suburbs of Los Angeles on Tuesday when his SUV struck a sign, crossed over two oncoming lanes and flipped several times before coming to rest on its side, its airbags deployed.
A sheriff’s deputy poked his head through a hole in the windshield to see Woods, still wearing his seatbelt, sitting in the driver’s seat.
The crash caused “significant” injuries to his right leg and he underwent what was described as a “long surgical procedure” at Harbor-UCLA Medical Centre.
A statement on his Twitter account said Woods was awake, responsive and recovering, while detailing the extensive procedures that he had to undergo.
