Tuesday was a big day for Tiger Woods.

In the morning it was announced that the 15-time major champion was getting back into the video game world alongside 2K. At night, a tweet from his official account had positive news about his recovery from a recent car accident in Los Angeles.

“Happy to report that I am back home and continuing my recovery,” the statement read. “I am so grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement that I have received over the past few weeks.”

Woods went on to thank the staff of doctors who have helped him throughout his recovery and finished by saying, “I will be recovering at home and working on getting stronger every day.”

Woods’ fractures from the crash are on the upper and lower parts of both the fibula and tibia, which was inserted with a rod to stabilize the area. Screws and pins were used to treat other injuries in the ankle and foot, while doctors sliced muscle in the area to relieve pressure and swelling in the area (a safeguard against infection).

Since 2008, Woods has endured a series of injuries all over his body (knee, shoulder, neck) on top of five back surgeries.
