They offered him a driver but he went with a wedge instead.

Update on Tiger:
Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia. Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling."

Dr. Michael Zuri, a doctor of podiatric medicine and board-certified physician who specializes in sports injuries, explained the severity of what Woods underwent Tuesday. "He's going to have multiple surgeries over the next week or two," said Zuri. "This is definitely [of a] limb-threatening [nature]. Do I think he'll lose his leg? Probably not ... but any normal person, probably this is a below-knee amputation.
"The next week is crucial. Infection, stuff like that is a major concern. ... I would say a month is when they'll kind of know what's going on as long as he doesn't have a bone infection. This is a tenuous thing for a while. The encouraging part is that, in the absence of infection, it's not crazy to think that Tiger could make his way back to a normal life. But to play golf again at an elite level? It's almost completely out of the question. Even if the leg heals, all the bones heal, everything heals, he's going to be dealing with arthritis from this," said Zuri. "These type of crush ankle injuries, if it's the ankle that was shattered as well, those are like 100% arthritis within a five-year period. It's likely for him he might need an ankle replacement. He's going to have multiple surgeries over the next year and probably surgery in 10 years. This is going to be a long, long thing for him. These types of multi-traumas to the leg are just devastating."
