Woods' rehab is "focused on strengthening his right leg," Golf Digest wrote. Harbor-UCLA Medical Center's Dr. Anish Mahajan said in February the golfer "suffered significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity that were treated during emergency surgery." Officials later determined that the cause of the crash was speeding, but they said there were "no signs of impairment."
It isn't clear, Golf Digest reported, whether Woods might need any additional procedures or whether he'll be able to fully regain mobility and strength in his leg. Asked if he hoped to play golf again, he told the outlet, "My physical therapy has been keeping me busy. I do my routines every day and am focused on my No. 1 goal right now: walking on my own. Taking it one step at a time."
He added that the outpouring of support he's received since the accident "means so much to me and has helped tremendously."
