Tiger Woods shared some encouraging news with fans on Friday as the golfer continued to recover from Tuesday’s rollover in California.
‘Tiger was moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and received follow-up procedures on his injuries this morning. The procedures were successful and he is recovering now and is in a good mood, “reads a message posted on his Twitter account.
“Tiger and his family would like to thank you all for the wonderful support and messages they have received over the past few days. We will have no further updates at this time. ”
Woods was conscious when he was struck by the windshield of his SUV after it crashed on a downhill road in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Police described the crash as a “pure accident” and ruled out criminal charges against Woods, who officials said were sober.
Woods sustained a broken right leg and doctors stabbed a stick in his leg and placed screws in his foot and ankle.
Doctors said the hardware could be permanent and keep him off his feet for a while, but the 15th time the PGA Tour champion has decided to get back on the links.
“He does not want his career to end like this,” a source close to the 45-year-old athlete said on Wednesday. “So if there is any way he can continue to play golf, he will do it.”
