Golfer Tiger Woods is said to be recovering after a pretty severe car crash this week. The New York Times reports that Woods lost control of the SUV he was driving on a “twisting and winding stretch” in Los Angeles, before hitting the pavement and a tree, and rolling several times. He sustained leg injuries that required him to undergo hours of surgery. That’s a big ouch! 

There’s speculation about whether Woods, who has won 15 major championships, will bounce back after this major injury. Woods has had multiple procedures in the past, including a spinal operation, which affected his performance recently. Doctors say it can take anything between a few months to over a year for Woods’s lower leg bones to grow together, and even longer for him to fully recover, but there’s no telling if he will be able to play golf again.
