On February 23, Tiger Woods lost control of his car outside Los Angeles in the western United States and crashed violently.

With fractures to both his tibia and calf in his right leg, he was first taken to Harbor-UCLA Hospital and then to Cedars-Sinai, where he was treated for three weeks.

There was a risk of amputation of the leg.

- At one point it was, I would not say fifty-fifty but at least damn close that I would walk out of that hospital on one leg, Tiger Woods says to Golf Digest in his first longer interview after the accident.

Last week, the 45-year-old world star published a clip on social media where he strikes an iron blow, with his right leg covered by a black, tight trouser leg and with the text "Make progress".

Woods himself, who has won 15 majors, the most recent of which won the Masters at Augusta just over two years ago, says that he is nowhere near making a comeback on the men's PGA Tour.

- I have so far a quarter, I am not even halfway.

I have as much muscle and nerve training as I need to do in my leg.

At the same time, as you know, I have had five back surgeries.

I have to deal with that too.

So at the same time as the leg gets stronger, the back sometimes starts to rumble.

It's a tough road, he says.
