At first, it seemed like a story the public had already pieced together. A wrecked car. A body pushed beyond its limits. A legend on the brink.

Woods was previously involved in a single-car crash back in February 2021, suffering serious injuries to his lower body, including several broken bones in his right leg that required a “long surgical procedure” after being brought to the hospital.

Woods has dealt with significant injuries throughout his career, most recently a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025 and back surgery in October. His appearance in the TGL finals marked his first return to professional golf since that occurrence.

The crash also comes with the Masters right around the corner. Woods has not said whether or not he would compete at Augusta National this spring while he recovers from the injuries, but he has left the door open repeatedly in recent weeks.
