Losing his father while in his prime years in golf took a huge toll on Woods. And it was not long before he had to get divorced from his wife and face a never-ending controversy. But even after things got resolved in his personal life, Woods’ career never went as smoothly as it used to. The golfer had a horrific accident in February 2021 and almost lost his right leg to it.
