- Comments are always welcome! đđ - When news of Tiger Woodsâ horrific car accident broke earlier this year, there were legitimate questions as to whether heâd ever be able to play golf competitively again. The accident was so serious that just hours after he was pulled from the mangled wreckage, there was a possibility he would lose his right leg.
But just 10 months later, the 15-time major winner was back on the course, smashing drives and flagging irons. Woods has made many comebacks throughout his career, but his journey back to the PNC Championship to play alongside his son, Charlie, is easily the most impressive. - Sport
His comeback is nothing less than a miracle given the seriousness of Tigerâs injury. So hopefully, Tiger Woods will work on his swing and strength and make a comeback on the PGA Tour soon.
Yes, he was fortunate not to lose his leg!
Exactly....people dont realize the extent of the injury. The bones were shattered and popped out the muscle and skin. Cant believe he can still swing a club.

I'm not sure what I'm saying but will try. I think his new swing after the incident will give him less dispersion off the tee. As someone here mentioned, his transition is slower and less aggressive on his lower body which I believe on the broadcast with Mr. Harmon he was and still fighting to have his upper body catch up with his lower body. I think this incident slows down his lower body movements and produces better timing through impact which may yield a more accurate ball striking off the tee.
Good take, makes perfect sense, Dustin.
Before the injury, Tigerâs weight transfer from the right leg to the left leg was a lot quicker, and hence, we can see his right heel in the air at the time of impact. Moreover, he opened his hips just before the impact, which allowed him to rotate and gain more speed. However, the injury to his right leg has changed all that now...
Absolutely!
He seems to have slightly more shoulder rotation, but the swing length looks a little shorter. Not bad for a guy with his past injuries. Good to see him going for it again!
Tiger is a savant of the golf swing. If he can walk, he can find a way to swing the golf club. If you took any other average person, whoâs not as fit or as driven or doesnât have the team behind him, youâd be looking at a significantly longer recovery time. But heâs a supremely fit athlete with a drive that is unseen in most everybody... Cheers! đ
he's got an old mans swing now, no back extension at follow through, either that or he bulked up so much there's no flexibility
Hereâs a recap of Woodsâ injury history:
1994
In 1994, while Woods was a student athlete at Stanford, he had two benign tumors and scar tissue removed from his left knee. Woods competed in his first Masters Tournament just a few months later in April of 1995, finishing tied for 41st as a 19-year-old amateur.
2002
After years of health (and incredible success on the course), Woods had a brief setback in 2002. He had offseason surgery in December to remove fluid inside and outside his ACL. He also had benign cysts removed from his left knee. The young star missed a few tournaments to begin 2003, but he won three of his first four events after returning. He didnât win any major tournaments in 2003, the first year since 1998 that he went 0-for-4.
2007
The real injury troubles began for Woods in 2007. In August of that year, he ruptured his ACL while running after the British Open. He played through the injury, winning five of his final six tournaments to close the season. Woods finished the year by winning the PGA Championship for his 13th major championship.
2008
Woods opted against surgery for his 2007 knee injury, but he paid the price in 2008. He won three straight tournaments to begin the year, but he had arthroscopic knee surgery after finishing second at the Masters. A month later, doctors said he had two stress fractures in his left tibia.
In June, two months after his surgery and still clearly in pain from the tibia injuries, he won the U.S. Open - his last major win for 11 years. Woods finally had surgery to repair his left ACL after the tournament and he missed eight months of competition.
Months later in December, Woods ruptured his Achilles tendon while jogging. He played through the injury throughout 2009, reaggravating the tear several times.
2010
Woods withdrew from The Players Championship in May due to a neck injury, which was later determined to be an inflamed facet joint.
2011
Knee and Achilles injuries defined Woodsâ 2011 season. In April, he strained his left Achilles while taking a swing at the Masters. He finished tied for fourth despite the injury. The following month, Woods again withdrew from The Players Championship after spraining his MCL in his left knee. The combination of injuries forced him to miss two months.
2012-13
Woods was resurgent over the next two years, winning eight tournaments. He withdrew from the Cadillac Championship in March 2012 due to Achilles tightness. In June of 2013, he missed two tournaments due to an elbow strain. He later tweaked his back at The Barclays in August of 2013, causing him to drop to his knees in pain.
2014-15
After two years of relative health, Woodsâ luck turned for the worse. Back spasms forced him out of the Honda Classic, Cadillac Championship, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Masters Tournament in 2014. He briefly returned over the summer months, but missed the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with back pain.
In 2015, the back injuries continued for Woods. He withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open in February before returning for the Masters in April. He missed the cut in three of four majors in 2015 before having two microdiscectomy surgeries on his back in September. Just a month later, he had another back surgery that was intended to relieve his discomfort. Woods didnât return to golf for 16 months after the surgery.
2017
Woods underwent a fourth back surgery in April of 2017, and this one was a success. He played in just one tournament in 2016 and 2017 before playing 18 events in 2018.
2019
A neck strain forced Woods out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The injury didnât hamper him at the 2019 Masters, though, which he won for his first major championship since 2008.
2020-21
Woods had a fifth back surgery in December of 2020, another microdiscectomy to remove a bone fragment that was pinching a nerve.
The latest, and most significant, injury occurred on Feb. 23, 2021. Driving over 80 mph by himself in an SUV in California, Woodsâ car rolled over and he was trapped inside before emergency personnel arrived. He suffered compound fractures in both of his legs before undergoing surgery. Woods was in serious but stable condition after the crash, but his golf career was obviously in jeopardy.
Woods is unlikely to ever return to the tour full time, but itâs silly to count him out after all the injuries heâs overcome.
Itâs one swing lol
??? Curious, why are you laughing out loud?
and your point?
Because you are comparing one swing just one from a yr ago to one swing just one from nowâŠâŠfind different ones Iâm sure they will all have slight differences
@@sappermade6012 this isn't a "slight" difference! -
Watch 'Follow the Sun', Ben Hogan movie. Don't underestimate an injured golfer with nothing to lose and everything to gain. This comeback might be slower coming, but don't count him out of a major, especially The Masters or anywhere with a slightly shorter layout with slick af greens
