In what is a major blow for the golfing world, Tiger Woods got involved in a major car accident. Apparently, his car lost control and swerved off the road. The out-of-control car then proceeded to roll down a steep hill, and the crash gave him severe leg injuries. In light of the accident, many admirers came out to wish him well, and NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was among them.
Naturally, an accident like this could seriously jeopardize Woods’ golf career. However, doctors have insisted that the injuries are not life-threatening. The best part is that the American golfer is conscious and even communicating with paramedics.
According to reports, the golfing legend sustained compound fractures to both of his legs. As a result, he may have to go into surgery to correct the issues.
It is also worth mentioning that investigations are underway about the cause of the accident. However, the authorities have ruled out DUI (driving under influence) or weather.
Kyle Busch hopes that Tiger Woods recovers soon
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch tweeted his support for the American golfing icon. Apparently, he was not the only one, as people like Michael Waltrip, Brad Daughtery, Riley Herbst, and more, also tweeted. Naturally, many are really worried and are praying for a speedy recovery.
Without a doubt, Tiger Woods is regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all-time, if not the greatest. He truly made an indelible mark on the sport and he will always be remembered. He has built his reputation so high that he is the first person that people think of when they talk about golf.
Hopefully, the 45-year-old makes a full recovery from the crash. If or when he does, he surely cannot expect to get back in the golfing fray. In other words, if he wants to resume playing, he will probably have to undergo rehabilitation for a while.
