Golf legend and superstar Tiger Woods is back home and recovering after undergoing surgery following the injuries he sustained from a ghastly car crash last month.
He took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday to reveal that he is back home and working on “getting stronger every day.”
His statement reads in part: “Happy to report that I am back home and continuing my recovery. I am so grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement that I have received over the past few weeks.”
The 45-year-old professional golfer didn’t fail to thank the nurses and hospital staff that have aided him on his road to recovery.
He writes: “Thank you to the incredible surgeons, doctors, nurses, and staff at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Cedars Sinai Medical Center. You have all taken such great care of me and I cannot thank you enough. I will be recovering at home and working on getting stronger every day.”

Woods received an outpouring of support from friends and fellow athletes as well as former US Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in the wake of the crash. The multiple award-winning golf champion recovered from a career slump to break an 11-year major drought and win the 2019 Masters.
Following the accident, the professional golfer suffered injuries to his legs and was trapped in his SUV before emergency responders alerted to the scene of the crash.

The golf star was driving shortly around 7 a.m in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, when the SUV he was in crossed a median and went across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree, and landing on its side off the roadway in the brush.
In 2019, Tiger Woods was involved in a wrongful death suit after one of the bartenders in his restaurant, battling with alcoholism, died in a drunk-driving accident after his daily shift.
Thankfully, Tiger Woods was conscious when emergency responders reached the scene of his one-vehicle rollover crash on a stretch of California road known for speeding and accidents.
Get better soon Tiger!
Thank God
