  • Tiger Woods shared the first photo of himself two months to the day after his horrific car accident.
  • The golf legend is smiling next to his dog as he stands on his golf course with the aid of crutches.
  • In the February rollover crash, Woods sustained multiple leg fractures, shattered his right ankle.

Two months to the day after Tiger Woods suffered severe injuries in a horrifying car accident, the golf legend is back on the golf course - but he still has a ways to go before he can play again.

On Friday, Woods shared the first photo of himself since that February crash in Los Angeles left him with multiple leg fractures and a shattered right ankle. And though rehab promises to be a long and grueling process for the 45-year-old, he appears to be in good spirits based on his latest Instagram post.

In the photo taken on his Florida golf course, Woods is smiling as he stands - with the help of crutches - alongside a black-and-white dog he describes as his "faithful rehab partner, man's best friend."

Early in the morning of February 23, Woods was on his way to a photo and video shoot when he crashed his car in Ranchos Palos Verdes, California. The owner of a record 82 PGA TOUR victories was speeding downhill in his Genesis SUV when the vehicle veered off the road and rolled multiple times before landing in a ditch.

First responders pulled Woods from the vehicle, and he was immediately taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center for treatment. Three weeks later, he left the hospital to continue his recovery at home.

Officials said there was "no evidence of any impairment" on Woods' part. The stretch of road where he crashed has been the site of many accidents in the past. Locals and authorities said after the crash that it was especially hazardous to those unfamiliar with the area.
