After sustaining severe injuries to his right leg and foot following a single-car accident in February, many wondered at the time whether Tiger Woods would ever golf again.
Fast forward to September, and the Ryder Cup is right around the corner. While Tiger Woods won't be taking part in the event, Steve Stricker did provide a positive update about Woods rehab from his injuries, via ESPN.
“I've talked to Tiger a lot,” Stricker said in the interview at Whistling Straits with former PGA Tour players Carl Paulson and Dennis Paulson. “He's a part of this Ryder Cup family; he won't be able to be a captain's assistant this time around just because of his ongoing rehabilitation to try to get better and try to play golf again, and that is going well. He's progressing, he's doing well, things are moving in the right direction.”
That sounds like great news for Woods. Not much has been released or said about Tiger's rehab process since the accident in February but hearing Stricker sound optimistic is a push in the right direction.
It was just last week that Stricker announced, to no surprise giving the severity of the injuries, that Tiger Woods wouldn't be participating in the Ryder Cup this time around.
“He's just not able to be there at this time. He's progressing nicely, but Whistling Straits is a tough place to get around. He's already been helping and will continue to.”
Let's all hope it's a successful recovery continuing on for Tiger Woods.
