Tiger Woods is recovering at his Florida home after several weeks in the hospital following his February car crash.
On Tuesday, Woods tweeted his thanks to both of the hospitals that treated him following a single-car rollover crash that left the legendary golfer with serious leg injuries.
Woods had been driving a 2021 Genesis SUV on a downhill stretch of road known for wrecks when he struck a raised median in a coastal Los Angeles suburb, crossed into oncoming lanes and flipped several times.
Woods shattered the tibia and fibula of his lower right leg in multiple locations. Those injuries were stabilized with a rod in the tibia during a long surgery. Additional injuries to the bones in the foot and ankle required screws and pins.
The crash was the latest setback for Woods, who has won 15 major championships and a record-tying 82 victories on the PGA Tour.
He is among the world’s most recognizable sports figures, and at 45, even with a reduced schedule from nine previous surgeries, remains golf’s biggest draw.
