In the weeks following the terrible car accident that nearly cost him his life in February 2021, Tiger Woods underwent numerous operations to repair the almost crushed lower part of his right leg.

Since then, the Tiger had never wanted to publicly show the scars of his accident. At each appearance, the former world number 1 put a black fabric sleeve on his injured leg that left nothing visible.

This Monday, three days after his elimination from The Open, in Oakland Hills near Detroit where the 76th Junior US Amateur is taking place in which his son is participating, Tiger Woods was no longer wearing protection and in the few photos posted by the many spectators who followed Charlie's game, we can see several large scars.

Scars on the inside and outside of Woods' leg that speak volumes about the extent of the damage caused by the accident.
