The Tiger Woods race has been marked by moments of genius, for having forever changed the history of golf and for having given much more visibility to this sport, which began to revolve around its talent.
But also, and especially since 2009, Tiger has had to fight extra-sporting circumstances that slowed his career and thatThey even scared him not to play again. Such as when he recovers from a serious car accident in which he suffered multiple fractures to his leg and right ankle.

Tiger is frustrated by what happened. But according to People magazine, he is determined to return to the fields. A mission that seems difficult because of the severity of the accident and why Tiger is already 45 years old. He has already confessed to his girlfriend, Erica Herman, and his agent, Mark Steinberg, that he will do his best to play again.
He has already done so twice in his career. The first, when he had to stop on his own guilt. He had suffered another traffic accident on November 27, 2009, when he collided with his truck. He only suffered cuts to his face, but then it became known that the accident happened after a sentimental dispute. Shortly afterwards he announced an indefinite retirement to devote himself to his family. He returned to play at five months, but the scandal cost him his marriage.
The other martyrdom of Tiger in his career has been injuries. At his best, he arrived even winning tournaments with physical problems, like when he won, on one leg and enduring pain, the 2008 US Open.
Distressed by back problems, he underwent three unsuccessful surgeries. In 2017 he took a risky decision: a new operation involving a fusion of vertebrae. Few were betting on a successful return and less so when, on May 29, 2017, Woods was arrested by police in Jupiter (Florida, USA), accused of driving under the influence of toxic substances.
Thus was the act in which Tiger Woods was going, after the accident.
Press releases claimed he was driving while intoxicated. The reality is that Tiger could not stand the pains and ended up mixing medicines to try to relieve.
After a lot of therapy, to stop hitting golf clubs and a job huge, Tiger tried to be the one before in 2018: he closed the year winning The Tour Championship and in 2019 won the Augusta Masters again.
