Tiger Woods’ competitive season isn’t quite on par.
The 49-year-old recently shared that he underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles after training at home.
“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” the 18-time PGA tour champion wrote on X (formally known as Twitter) March 12. “This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.”
Tiger went on to note that his doctor confirmed “the surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery.”
He added, “I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”
Tiger—who is the father of Sam, 17, and Charlie, 16, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren—did not go into further detail about a timeline for his return. The 2025 Masters Tournament is set to take place April 11-14 at the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia.
