[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Tiger Woods (46), the "Golf Emperor" of the United States who underwent leg surgery due to a car rollover accident, was discharged from the hospital after three weeks and continues treatment at his home in Florida.

On the 17th, Woods posted on his social media (SNS), "I am happy to share the news that I have returned home to continue treatment," and expressed gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the many words of encouragement sent after the accident."

On the 24th of last month, Woods was seriously injured in both legs when the vehicle he was driving overturned near Los Angeles (LA), California.

After the accident, Woods transferred to another treatment hospital once, and this time he moved to his home to continue treatment and rehabilitation.

At the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational of the U.S. Professional Golf (PGA) Tour held after Woods' accident, several players including Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) wore the same red tops and black bottoms as Woods usually wears on the last day of the tournament to wish for his speedy recovery.

At that time, Woods expressed his thanks through SNS to those who wished him a speedy recovery.

It is also known that during the tournament, Woods exchanged text messages with McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau (USA), and others to encourage each other.
