Tiger Woods has made a major health announcement.
In a statement posted to social media, Woods said he underwent surgery to correct a pinched nerve in his lower back.
A successful operation is intended to try to relieve the rehearsal of cramps that have encountered most of 2024.”The operation went well, and I hope it will help you relieve my back and my pain that I felt on most of the 2024 season,” said Woods in his declaration. “I look forward to working through this rehabilitation and preparing to return to normal activities, including golf. »No timeline has been given for when Woods will return to competitive golf after surgery.
The 48-year-old golf legend has struggled to qualify for 2024 during his limited playing time. After finishing 16th at the Masters, he missed the PGA Championship, the Open and the British Open. His back has been bothering him since February, which may have contributed to his poor performances in the final three Grand Slam tournaments of the year.
Woods has overcome a number of other injuries to return to the court, and he seems determined to return, but much of the decision will depend on how his rehab goes.
