Tiger Woods and his daughter haven’t seen each other for several months, and this is the reason
Tiger Woods’ daughter Sam Woods is celebrating her father after the obstacles he’s overcome.
While giving an introduction speech during her dad’s World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Florida on Wednesday, Sam, 14.
Recalled the scary moments she and her family members endured while waiting for Tiger’s return from the hospital after getting into a car accident last year.
His teenage daughter described the tragedy as one of her father’s “ultimate lows.”
“We didn’t know if you’d come home with two legs or not,” Sam admitted.
“Now, you’re not only about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but you’re standing here on your own two feet. This is why you deserve this.”
Sam added, “You’re a fighter, you’ve defied the odds every time.”
In February 2021, Woods was hospitalized after a car crash. The five-time Masters champion suffered significant orthopedic injuries to his right leg including fractures to his tibia and fibula bones. During the accident, which occurred on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes in Southern California, Woods’ car struck a sign in the center divider and cut through a tree before landing on the side of the road.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said in April last year that speed was the primary cause of Woods’ crash. The sheriff also said that there were “no signs of impairment,” and that Woods would receive no citations for the accident.
