“Life Changes, Life Evolves”, Tiger Woods reveals how his injury has impacted his life
Follow Us
Tiger Woods has been a game legend for as long as contemporary golf fans remember. His long and wide-spanning career has seen him win 15 major titles and feature on the top billionaires of the world list.
However, Woods also had to face a dark phase in his career when he got involved in a car accident in February 2021. As he lost control of his Genesis SUV while driving in the hills outside Los Angeles, Woods crashed and almost lost his right leg following this incident. He spent an year in recovery and came back to appear in professional matches with the Masters 2022.
Since then, his life might not have been a smooth ride. However, the World Champion did try his best to return to his best form, which won the hearts of his fans. As he reflects on his recovery and accident, Woods reveals how his life has evolved from then onwards.
Tiger Woods opens up on how his life has evolved following the horrific car accident
Following a few surgeries and a year-long hiatus, Tiger Woods returned to the field ever-confident in 2022. However, his performances were not as satisfactory as he would himself remark. He was left weak and disjointed after the accident, and it took him quite a while to return to his usual form.
During these hard times, Woods had forged a special relationship with his son, Charlie Woods. Charlie Woods, 13, is also an aspiring golfer like his father. He is consistent in his performances in the junior golf circuits, which draws much likeness to his father. Despite developing plantar fasciitis (heel injury) ahead of the Hero World Challenge, Woods still participated with his son at the PNC Championship.
He says about his new life after the accident and his role as a father, “The days of me going out there practising hours upon hours, day after day, has changed. Life changes, life evolves, and there are two more important things in my life than golf.”
Tiger Woods is quite optimistic about his recovery. He looks back at some of the abilities he would like to gain back post his recovery. In quite confidence, Woods remarks, “I’d like to be able to hit all nine basic golf shots but harmoniously go from shot to shot and always keep a good balance of hitting all shots at all times, it’s trying to get everything kind of imbalanced in equilibrium because I’m able to hit any of those shots and also all those little nuances at a time in a tournament.”
