Tiger Woods hoping to play in 2023 Masters

-

PEOPLE — More than a year after his serious car accident, the golfer is on the road to recovery — and has a goal for his future, a source tells PEOPLE Tiger Woods is looking to the future and staying positive nearly two months after his single-vehicle rollover car crash in California in February.

‘‘Tiger is happy to be back home,'' a source tells PEOPLE in this week's issue of the golfer, who has returned back home to Jupiter, Florida, after undergoing emergency surgery for ‘‘significan­t orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity" in the wake of the crash.

The source adds, ‘‘He is focused on his continued recovery. There is a rehabilita­tion plan in place.''

‘‘He has his down moments but is doing everything he can to heal,'' says another source. ‘‘He wants go back on tour at some point. He is eager to get back into shape.''

On Feb. 23, Woods was traveling downhill on the border of Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes in California when his car struck a sign in the center divider, sheared through a tree and landed in the brush alongside the road with major damage, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD).

Last week, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed that the cause of Woods' accident ‘‘has been determined, the investigat­ion has concluded,'' however, they are unable to release the informatio­n to the public at the request of the golfer's team.

‘‘We have reached out to Tiger Woods and his personnel . . . There's some privacy issues on releasing informatio­n on the investigat­ion so we're going to ask them if they waive the privacy and then we will be able to do a full release on all the informatio­n regarding the accident, ''Villanueva said.

He added, ‘‘We can't release it without the people involved in the collision."

Another insider tells PEOPLE in this week's issue that Woods — who entered treatment for a prescripti­on-drug problem after a 2017 DUI — is paying no attention to speculatio­n over the crash. ‘‘He's not being charged with anything, and his focus is on healing and recovery, not obsessing about what people guess happened that morning,'' the insider says.

‘‘He has bigger things to think about.''
