Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer known for his resilience and incredible career feats, has found himself battling yet another hurdle. This time, Woods has undergone surgery for a ruptured left Achilles tendon, adding to his long list of medical challenges.
Today, Woods shared on social media that he experienced “sharp pain” during an intense training session at home, prompting the need for surgery. Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach performed a “minimally-invasive” procedure that appears to have gone well.
This new development further complicates Tiger’s already extensive medical history, which has seen him through multiple back surgeries, knee operations, and a remarkable recovery from a 2021 car accident that nearly ended his career.
The timing of this surgery couldn’t be less ideal, with The Masters tournament just around the corner. Fans hoping to cheer Tiger on at Augusta will likely have to hold out until 2026 since recovery from an Achilles injury typically spans 6 to 12 months.
Currently, Woods is recuperating at home, dedicating himself to rehabilitation. Although there’s no set timeline for his return to the golf course, history has shown that it’s unwise to count Tiger out.
