This is a bummer to hear, but Tiger Woods is lucky he even has a chance of competing again after the devastating car crash that could have easily taken his life. The golf legend has worked hard to get back to this point, but the nature of the injury is making it extremely difficult to get back to where he needs to be to compete at a high level.
