Tiger Woods posted a photograph of himself for the first time since his single-car accident in February, standing with crutches and next to his dog, Bugs.
“My course is coming along faster than I am,” Woods said in an Instagram post, with a photo showing the 45-year-old. “But it’s nice to have a faithful rehab partner, man’s best friend.”
Woods was standing on his backyard practice area in Jupiter, Florida, according to ESPN.
The 82-time PGA champion returned to his Florida home in March after surviving a car accident on a road in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He sustained injuries on the upper and lower parts of the fibula and tibia and also suffered injuries to his ankle and foot.
Woods underwent an emergency surgery, receiving screws and pins to stabilize injuries to bones in his foot, and a rod was inserted into his tibia for additional support.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office said earlier this month Woods was traveling at “estimated speeds” of “84 to 87 miles per hour” along Hawthorne Boulevard, a road commonly known for drivers speeding along its winding bends.
TIGER WOODS CRASH CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE SPEEDS ROUGHLY 40 MPH OVER LIMIT, LA SHERIFFS SAY
His vehicle hit a median, causing it to drive off the road and hit a tree, then plummeted several feet downhill.
Investigators did not seek warrants for scans of blood samples, which could have been put through a toxicity screening. Authorities contended surveillance footage of Woods’s drive leading up to the accident showed no traffic violations or other signs of impairment.

Woods was not charged for traveling nearly 40 miles per hour over the limit. “It is speculated and believed that Tiger Woods inadvertently hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, causing that 99% grading on the accelerator pedal,” Los Angeles Sheriff’s Capt. James Powers said.
