Tiger Woods is recovering and in "good spirits" after a second day of treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre following his horrific rollover solo car smash in Los Angeles that left him with serious leg injuries.
The golf superstar was transferred to Cedars-Sinai on Wednesday night after undergoing emergency surgery the day before at Harbor-UCLA Medical Centre to repair compound fractures sustained in each leg in addition to a shattered ankle.
"Tiger and his family want to thank you all for the wonderful support and messages they have received over the past few days," said a statement on Woods' Twitter account.
"We will not have any further updates at this time. Thank you for your continued privacy."
The 15-time major champion was driving alone Tuesday morning in a south Los Angeles suburb when his SUV hit the centre median, crossed into the opposing lane, struck a tree and then rolled over several times.
The latest statement did not go into detail about what type of follow up treatment Mr Woods is receiving at Cedars-Sinai which is located about 15 kilometres west of Los Angeles and is renowned for treating Hollywood's rich and famous.
The golfer's surgery included the insertion of a rod into Woods's shin bone and the use of "a combination of screws and pins" to stabilise his foot and ankle.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said that Mr Woods would not face charges related to the crash. "This remains an accident. Accident is not a crime. They do happen, unfortunately," he said.
Tiger Woods has won the second most major championships in history behind Jack Nicklaus' 18. He has 82 PGA Tour victories which is tied with Sam Snead for the all-time record.
