Tiger Woods’ leg scar seen in rare photograph at golf tournament

Tiger Woods offered spectators at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships in Michigan on Monday a rare look at his leg, which was severely injured in a 2021 crash in California.

Woods has worn pants or a leg sleeve while out on the golf course in practice or during tournaments. As he watched his son play in the amateur tournament, Woods was seen wearing shorts without a leg sleeve. A Getty Images photographer snapped a photo of his leg.

The photo showed Woods with a large scar on his leg.

Woods shattered bones in his right leg, needed a rod in his tibia to stabilize the injuries, and needed screws and pins in his ankle after he was involved in a crash in February 2021.

Woods revealed in a November 2021 interview with Golf Digest there was a moment during the immediate aftermath that amputating his leg was a serious possibility.

“There was a point in time when, I wouldn’t say it was 50/50, but it was damn near there if I was going to walk out of that hospital with one leg,” he said. “Once I (kept it), I wanted to test and see if I still had my hands. So even in the hospital, I would have (then-girlfriend Erica Herman) and (friend Rob McNamara) throw me something. Throw me anything,”

Woods has worked hard to get back to form and play in tournaments again since the crash.
