Arriving in California to be honoured at the US Open, new footage has emerged of Tiger Woods successfully putting weight on his injured leg four months after he was hurt in a horrific car crash.
In late February, Woods was driving in the Los Angeles suburbs when his SUV hit a curb, a tree and then flipped on its side as he lost control going down a two-lane road. The golf legend was pulled from the totalled wreck by emergency services with significant injuries to his lower right leg and ankle that required a “long surgical procedure” to repair.
Woods, 45, was lucky to survive the crash and there were even fears he might lose his leg, however he has since shared promising updates on his recovery after the accident.
Following more surgeries Woods has been on crutches, with his leg in a heavy brace – as seen in an Instagram post from April – but new vision shows the incredible progress he has made.

Though he won’t be playing in the tournament, Woods is in California for the 2021 US Open which begins on June 17 at Torrey Pines, in San Diego, two hours south of LA.
According to Golfweek reporter Adam Schupak, Woods is set to be honoured with a plaque at Torrey Pines about his infamous putt on the 18th green to get into a playoff and ultimately win the US Open in 2008.
