Tiger Woods shut down questions about a February car crash where he nearly lost his leg in his first press conference with reporters since the incident happened, saying he’s not only “lucky to be alive” but lucky “to still have the limb.”
Woods declined to talk about the details of the Feb.23 crash with reporters on Tuesday at a press conference in the Bahamas ahead of this week’s Hero World Challenge charity event at the Albany Golf Club.
“That’s all been answered, it’s in the police report,” he said, via Yahoo Sports. “You can read about it there.”
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 Los Angeles earlier this year.
Woods was driving at an unsafe speed at the time of the wreck, authorities said at the time. He was driving between 84 and 87 mph when he first made impact and was driving 75 mph when the vehicle hit a tree. The posted speed limit was 45 mph.
