Injuries are nothing new to Tiger Woods, but he has never faced ones as serious as his multiple leg fractures suffered in a car crash on Tuesday in Southern California. Still, he has dealt with numerous health issues throughout his career, long before his first Masters win in 1997.

In 1994, Woods had surgery on his left knee to remove two benign tumors and scar tissue. There was a surgery on Dec. 13, 2002, that saw fluid removed from inside and outside the ACL.
