Tiger Woods is no stranger to injuries – he won the 2008 U.S. Open with a twice-fractured left leg, for example. His back problems have derailed his career for the better part of a decade, and in 2017 Woods was unsure if he would ever be able to play again. There have been surgeries on top of surgeries, mostly to his knees and back.
It’s entirely premature to speculate exactly how his severely broken leg and crushed ankle after Tuesday’s car crash in California will impact any hopes that he returns to golf, but it is worth looking back at the obstacles Woods has overcome.
Also worth noting, Woods plays his cards very close to the vest, and at times he has been coy about providing private information on injuries or medical procedures. These injuries listed below – compiled from past Golfweek reporting and media reports such as this one on PGA.com – are just those that are known.
