Photo: Weeks After Near-Fatal Car Crash, Tiger Woods Shows Off Crutches, 'Rehab Partner'

Famed US golfer Tiger Woods was the only person injured after he presumably lost control of his vehicle while traveling over 80 mph in a 45-mph zone. It was recently revealed that the 15-time major champion was "somewhat combative" after the wreck and, at first, thought he was in Florida, rather than Los Angeles, California.

Woods, 45, gave his fans and followers a glimpse at his road to recovery with a new snapshot to Instagram on Friday. 

"My course is coming along faster than I am," Woods wrote, presumably referring to a project with TGR Design, his golf course design firm. 

"But it's nice to have a faithful rehab partner, man's best friend," the caption concluded. 

Despite his orthopedic walking boot and crutches, Woods appears to be all smiles in the photo with his dog, Bugs.  

Citing a 22-page collision report, Sputnik reported earlier this month that the 15-time major champion's black box data showed that, on February 23, Woods did not brake for an upcoming curve in the road, but instead hit "the gas pedal at 99% in the final seconds before hitting the raised median." 

After hitting the median, Woods' vehicle jumped the curb, struck a tree and tumbled down into Rolling Hills Estates, California. 

The sports champion's injuries included extreme orthopaedic fractures in his lower right extremity.
