Tiger Woods shared some encouraging news on Friday as the golfer continued to recover from Tuesday’s shipwreck in California.
“Tiger was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and received follow-up procedures for his injuries this morning. The procedures were successful and now he is recovering and feeling well, ”he read a message posted on his Twitter account.
“Tiger and his family want to thank you all for the support and wonderful messages they have received in recent days. We will have no further updates at this time. ”
Woods was conscious when he was pulled out of the front windshield of his SUV after it crashed down a stretch of road down into Rancho Palos Verdes.
Police described the accident as “purely an accident” and ruled out criminal charges against Woods, which officials said were sober.
Woods suffered a broken right leg, and doctors inserted a rod into his leg and put screws in his leg and ankle.
Doctors said the hardware could be permanent and keep it off its feet for a while, but the 15-time PGA Tour champion is said to be determined to get back on track.
“He doesn’t want his career to end like this,” a source close to the 45-year-old said on Wednesday. “So if there is any way he can continue to play golf, he will.”
