The timeline of Tiger Woods' year since his Feb. 23, 2021, car crash

A little more than a year ago, Tiger Woods lost control of the Genesis SUV he was driving in the hills outside of Los Angeles. The images of the crash stunned the sports world and left many wondering whether the 15-time major champion would ever play competitive golf again.

In the months that followed, Woods disclosed that he nearly lost his right leg because of the accident. A year later, he is still trying to regain strength in his right foot and leg, but vows to return to play on the PGA Tour again — he just doesn't know when.

«It's been tough, but I've gotten here, I've gotten this far and I still have a long way to go,» Woods said last week during a news conference at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. «Each and every day's a fight, and I welcome that fight. Get up in the morning, let's go a few more rounds.»

Feb. 23, 2021 Woods is involved in a single-car rollover crash around 7 a.m. PT after the Genesis SUV he was driving crossed through two oncoming lanes, struck a curb and uprooted a tree on a downhill stretch in Rolling Hills Estates, just outside of Los Angeles. He was wearing a seatbelt, and officers found him still sitting in the SUV.

Woods was taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center by ambulance. Later that night, Dr. Anish Mahajan issued a statement in which he said Woods suffered «significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity» and had emergency surgery for «open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portion of the tibia and fibula bones.»

Mahajan said Woods' leg was «stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia and additional injuries to the bones of his foot and ankle were repaired with screws and pins. To relieve pressure
