Woods, speaking in a Golf Digest https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-speaks-about-recovery
interview published on Thursday, is no stranger to
rehabilitation procedures after having several back and knee
surgeries but admitted his latest recovery was unlike any he has
undergone before.
"This has been an entirely different animal," Woods, 45, said in
the interview published on Thursday. "I understand more of the
rehab processes because of my past injuries, but this was more
painful than anything I have ever experienced."
Woods was driving above the speed limit in February when he lost
control of his vehicle, which crossed through oncoming lanes of
traffic before slamming into trees off the side of a road
outside Los Angeles.
The 15-times major champion, whose accident resulted in a
three-week hospital stay, posted a photo on Instagram last month
that showed him smiling, on crutches and in a walking boot.
When asked about his hopes of playing golf again, Woods said he
was focused on rehabilitation at his South Florida home.
"My physical therapy has been keeping me busy," said Woods, the
most successful golfer of his generation. "I do my routines
every day and am focused on my No. 1 goal right now: walking on
my own. Taking it one step at a time."
