"Capsizing Accident" Woods "Discharged After 3 Weeks"... Rehabilitation at Florida Home

Treatment at LA Hospital After Leg Surgery, Discharge Impressions Shared on SNS: "Happy to Be Home"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA, photo) was discharged from the hospital three weeks after a car rollover accident.

On the 17th (Korean time), he posted on his social media (SNS), "I am happy to share that I have returned home to continue treatment," and "I am grateful for the many words of encouragement sent after the accident." On the 24th of last month, he was driving a Genesis GV80 near Los Angeles, California, when he suffered a rollover accident and injured his leg, requiring surgery. The car rolled over the central divider of the road and stopped after hitting a tree.

He sustained serious injuries with fractures to the bones in the lower part of his right leg. Immediately after the accident, news reported that he was "unconscious," indicating the severity of the injuries. There was also speculation about the possibility of drowsy driving. Jonathan Cherney, a court-appointed investigator who examined the accident scene, explained, "The vehicle going straight on a curved road is typical of drowsy driving." It is also known that there was no evidence of steering to avoid the accident.

Cherney analyzed, "It seems as if he was unconscious, in medical distress, or asleep, veering off the road and not waking up until then," and "the brakes were applied at that point." It is feared that he will not only be unable to participate in tournaments for the time being but will also have difficulty walking alone for a while. After the accident, he transferred to another treatment hospital and is now moving to his home in Florida, USA, to continue rehabilitation.

At the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour held after Woods' accident, several players, including Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), wore the same red tops and black bottoms that Woods usually wears on the final day of tournaments. Woods expressed his gratitude to those who wished him a speedy recovery through SNS at that time. During the tournament, he also exchanged text messages with McIlroy and "The Hulk" Bryson DeChambeau (USA).
