Tiger Woods Seen Putting Weight On Injured Leg As Recovery Continues

Tiger Woods has been spotted in Los Angeles as he continues his recovery from the injuries sustained in February’s horror car crash.

After fracturing both his right tibia and fibula, as well as his right foot and ankle, the sight of Woods walking and being able to put some pressure on his injured leg is a welcome one.

Injuries are, of course, nothing new for the 45-year-old, who has undergone multiple back and knee procedures and even won the 2008 US Open on a broken leg the last time it was held at Torrey Pines.

One of his greatest achievements, no doubt, but to return from this latest setback and play professionally again, would surely top his considerable list of odds-defying feats.

But, if there’s anyone that can…
