Tiger Woods' Accident Left Daughter Extremely Worried That Golfer Would Lose His Leg

Tiger Woods suffered an injury on his leg following the 2021 car crash, and it made his daughter feel worried about a potential amputation.

A year after Woods suffered extreme injuries following his car crash incident, he received good news when he officially joined the history's greatest golfers in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Before the induction ceremony began on Wednesday, Woods' daughter, Sam Woods, delivered a heartfelt and emotional statement to celebrate the World's No. 1's career.

The 14-year-old daughter started by recalling the scary moments she and the whole family dealt with while waiting for Woods to come home after his car accident last year. Per Sam, it became one of her father's ultimate lows, and the thought about her father losing his leg or two scared her so much.

"We didn't know if you'd come home with two legs or not," Sam admitted. "Now, you're not only about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but you're standing here on your own two feet. This is why you deserve this," she said, as quoted by PEOPLE. "You're a fighter, you've defied the odds every time."

Her speech, however, reportedly made Woods lose a bet to Steve Stricker. Soon after taking over the podium, the golfer said he lost a bet to the golfer that he would not cry.

Indeed, after the incident happened, Woods returned with a braver and stronger heart that now pushes him to continue his golfing career.

Tiger Woods Also Paid Tribute to Parents

Although Woods now has a happy family, he did not forget paying tribute to his parents, who sacrificed a lot for him when he faced racism as a young golfer.

The athlete noted that he grew up in the generation where Charlie Sifford, the first Black golfer to be part of the PGA Tour, rose to fame. It was reportedly the reason why he named his son Charlie.

Amid the success he is savoring right now, Woods recalled the dark times he and his parents went through. He revealed that he was not allowed in the clubhouses due to his skin color. But he turned those racist comments into what helped him be where he is right now.

In the end, Woods took his chance to highlight his family in his acceptance speech, saying: "I know that golf is an individual sport, we do things on our own a lot for hours on end, but I didn't get here alone. I had unbelievable parents, mentors, friends who supported me in the darkest of times and celebrated the highest of times."

PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem also made it to the Hall of Fame alongside Woods and architect Marion Hollins.
