March 16 (UPI) — Golf star Tiger Woods said Tuesday he has returned to his South Florida home to continue recovering from a single-vehicle accident last month that left him with serious leg injuries.

In a statement posted on social media, the 45-year-old Woods said he is “so grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement that I have received over the past few weeks.”

Woods was involved in the single-vehicle rollover crash Feb. 23 in Southern California. The 15-time major champion suffered multiple “open fractures” to his lower right leg and had a rod put in his tibia. He also had screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during the emergency surgery.

Later that week, Woods was transferred from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was hospitalized for a total of three weeks as a result of the crash.

“Thank you to the incredible surgeons, doctors, nurses and staff at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,” Woods said in his

statement Tuesday. “You have all taken such great care of me and I cannot thank you enough.

“I will be recovering at home and working on getting stronger every day.”
