LOS ANGELES – Tiger Woods is “recovering” following injury follow-up procedures during a car crash that left the star golfer with serious leg injuries, his representatives said Friday.
The procedures were successful, he said. a tweet of TGR Ventures, the organization founded by Woods, posted on the golfer’s 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,” the statement read.
Woods, 45, sustained broken bones in his leg and other injuries in the crash Tuesday morning near Rancho Palos Verdes, a city in southwest Los Angeles.
The chief medical officer of the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center said a stick had been inserted into his leg and pins and screws were used to stabilize injuries to his foot and ankle. Woods, meanwhile, has been relocated to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
