Hogan was 36 at the time of his accident. Like Tiger, he suffered a severe ankle injury but his other injuries were father up in his body: "a double-fracture of the pelvis, a fractured collar bone, a left ankle fracture, a chipped rib, and near-fatal blood clots: he would suffer lifelong circulation problems and other physical limitations." He made an incredible comeback but won his last major at age 41. Tiger is 45.

I was glad to hear his injuries are not live-threatening: it's not Kobe II. I'm no doctor but there's nothing to suggest paralysis. The fractures may cost him flexibility and I've heard of one leg coming out shorter than the other. I've also heard of injured athletes losing legs to vascular problems and that word has come up in the reports. I suggest we stop worrying about his golfing career and just hope for as full a recovery as possible. I'm also not going to speculate on the cause(s) of the accident.
