According to CNN on November 30, Tiger Woods ("Tiger" Woods) talked about the future of his golf career in an interview with Golf Guru magazine, which is the first time he has publicly talked about it since the car accident earlier this year.

Woods, who began the remote interview at his home in South Florida, walked into the room with a slightly "waddling" pace because of a serious leg injury in a car accident near Los Angeles in February.

Woods said: "I think the reality may be to play the Tour in the future, never to be full-time, to be like Mr Ben Hogan to pick and choose. ”

Woods said he chose a few races a year to "practice for those races, get ready, and then compete." I think from now on I can only play like this. It's an unfortunate fact, but it's my reality. I can understand, and I can accept it."

Woods said that during the difficult recovery process, simple things have more meaning, such as watching his son play or listening to birds sing.

He said: "I have a long way to go ... Not even halfway through. I also have to do a lot of leg muscle training and nerve training. Also, as you know, I went through 5 back surgeries. So, I have to overcome that. With the recovery of the legs, sometimes there will be problems with the back ... It's a tough road. ”

According to the Associated Press, on February 23 this year, "Tiger" Woods was in a car accident near Los Angeles and was seriously injured and taken to the hospital for surgery. Two months later, Woods announced via social media on April 16 that he had been discharged from the hospital and was continuing to recover. According to Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, the accident was entirely blamed on speeding and Woods' out-of-control driving. (End)
