"Happy to report that I am back home continuing
my recovery," the 45-year-old golf great said on Twitter.
"I will be recovering at home and working on getting stronger
every day."
The one-car crash left the 82-time PGA Tour winner with a
fractured right leg and shattered ankle and stunned the world of
sport and beyond, with former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and
Barack Obama among those who offered support.
Woods, who was treated at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center as well as
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, thanked his medical team as well as
his fans for their well wishes.
"I am so grateful for the outpouring of support and
encouragement that I have received over the past few weeks,"
said Woods.
Woods, who has endured numerous back and knee injuries
throughout his career, is considered the greatest golfer of his
generation, having won 15 major titles, and the only modern pro
to win all four major golf titles in succession.
He capped one of the most remarkable comebacks in all of
professional sport in 2019, when he broke an 11-year major
drought to win his fifth Masters title.
The Los Angeles Police Department said earlier this month it was
investigating data from the "black box" recorder inside the car
driven by Woods but have said the incident was an accident.
