It appeared to be Woods’ first time back in the Los Angeles area since the horrific crash in February that left him with a serious leg injury. Woods has mostly been doing his rehab in Florida.
In May, Woods spoke out about the crash at length for the first time.

"This has been an entirely different animal," Woods told Golf Digest. "I understand more of the rehab processes because of my past injuries, but this was more painful than anything I have ever experienced."

A doctor who treated Woods initially said the legendary golfer suffered open fractures affecting his tibia and fibula, injuries to his foot and ankle, and trauma to the muscle and soft tissue of the leg that "required surgical release" to relieve the pressure. A crash report later revealed that Woods was also "knocked unconscious, laceration to the lower front jaw, bruised right and left rib cage, fractured right tibia and fibula, possible right ankle injury."
He had stints in two different Los Angeles hospitals before returning home to Florida to recuperate.

With the U.S. Open set for this weekend in San Diego, Calif., Woods was reportedly asked to help with coverage but rebuffed the request.
