Tiger Woods back on golf course for first time since horror car crash
Tiger Woods was back on a golf course at the weekend for the first time since his car crash – watching his son Charlie compete at a junior event in Florida.
According to The Sun, the 45-year-old superstar was seen in golf clothes and had a club in his right hand
Woods also had a black sleeve covering the majority of his right leg, while his left leg remained bare.
The images of Woods watching his son play golf, alongside girlfriend Erica, are the first ones of him without crutches since his February 23 car crash.
The golf legend suffered severe injuries to his right leg – which most likely explains the sleeve – and required multiple surgeries.
One round of surgery even required the American to have a rod installed in his leg.

It is also still unclear whether Woods has plans to return to the PGA Tour, given the seriousness of the accident.
Team USA’s Ryder Cup skipper Steve Stricker did give a positive update hinting at a possible return to the course for the 15-time major championship winner.
Stricker told SiriusXM Radio: “I’ve talked to Tiger a lot.
“He’s a part of this Ryder Cup family, he won’t be able to be a captain’s assistant this time around just because of his ongoing rehabilitation to try to get better and try to play golf again, and that is going well.
“He’s progressing, he’s doing well, things are moving in the right direction.”
