ITV News published this video item, entitled “Tiger Woods awake after surgery to fix ‘significant’ car crash injuries | ITV News” – below is their description.
The golf star now faces a hard recovery after a car crash on Tuesday, which left him needing surgery to his right leg just weeks before the Masters.
A statement on Woods’ Twitter account said the golfer had suffered multiple “open fractures” to his lower right leg, with a rod placed in his tibia and screws and pins in his ankle.
But the golfer is lucky to be alive, authorities said. He appears to be on track to survive after being pried from his SUV following the crash at around 7am (PST) in the Los Angeles area.
