Tiger Woods┬аappears to be in good spirits. The┬аpro golfer┬аshared a photo of himself and gave an update on his recovery after┬аhis severe car crash in February.┬аWoods, 45, is seen smiling and on crutches at a golf course with his тАЬfaithful rehab partner,тАЭ his dog, by his side.

тАЬMy course is coming along faster than I am ?. But itтАЩs nice to have a faithful rehab partner, manтАЩs best friend,тАЭ the athlete wrote alongside the snap.

Woods previously took to twitter to share more information about The Hay тАУ his new 9-hole golf course.

Woods was involved in a car accident in California on Feb. 23 which┬аleft him hospitalized with serious injuries. Woods had to be pulled from his vehicle by firefighters and paramedics and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle he was driving was totalled after it traveled several hundred feet from the centre divider, hit a tree and rolled over several times.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed that the┬аprimary cause of the crash┬аwas speed.

During a press conference, Villanueva said that Woods was driving 84 to 87 miles per hour during the crash before he hit a tree. Villanueva stressed that тАЬno preferential treatmentтАЭ was given to Woods and that they were only able to release the findings of the crash with his permission.

He said that they did not conduct a field sobriety test at the time because it was inappropriate given the seriousness of WoodsтАЩ injuries. Powers said that there was no evidence of impairment, alcohol, narcotics or any evidence of medication in the vehicle or on Woods, and that there was no evidence he was on his cell phone or driving during the accident.

At the time, Woods said he was continuing to focus on his recovery and family following the close of the investigation.

тАЬI am so grateful to both of the good samaritans who came to assist me and called 911,тАЭ he wrote. тАЬI am also thankful to the LASD Deputies and LA Firefighter/Paramedics, especially LA SheriffтАЩs Deputy Carlos Gonzalez and LAFD Engine Co. #106 Fire Paramedics Smith and Gimenez, for helping me so expertly at the scene and getting me safely to the hospital. I will continue to focus on my recovery and family, and thank everyone for the overwhelming support and encouragement IтАЩve received throughout this very difficult time.тАЭ
