[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…The 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA, photo) has been seen without crutches...

On the 10th (Korean time), the American Golf Channel introduced a Twitter photo, stating, "Woods was spotted at a junior golf tournament in Florida where his son Charlie was participating." The scene shows Woods standing comfortably with a golf club held in his right hand, touching the ground. Woods was seriously injured in a car rollover accident in Los Angeles, California, USA, last February, suffering comminuted fractures to the right shin and calf bones.

In a photo Woods released last April, he was heavily equipped with a cast and protective gear on his right leg while using crutches. A photo from May still showed him relying on crutches, but the protective gear on his right leg appeared much lighter. This time, although the lower part of his right leg is not visible, he looks much more natural. The American Golf Channel also reported, "It is unclear when he will return to competition, but rehabilitation is expected to be progressing smoothly."
