Tiger Woods announces back surgery due to nerve damage
Golf legend Tiger Woods underwent surgery on Friday that he hopes will improve his chances of success on the PGA Tour next season.
Woods announced that he had lumbar microdecompression surgery to relieve pinched nerves in his lower back. Woods added that he had the hopes that he would help relieve his back convulsions and the pain that I lived for most of 2024, and he’s normal life activity in Y, including golf. Get ready to return.
This was the first time since 2021, which was the same year that he had been devastating in a car accident. He also received a delicate merger procedure on his right foot and sacrificed most of the 2023 season. Woods has not started since he missed the cup in the championship open to the Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland in July. He later said that he intended to return to the action at the Hero World Challenge, a tournament organized by him and took place for December. 5-8 in Bahamas. He also announced in December his intention to play with his son Charlie with a PNC championship. 19-22. However, Friday’s announcement did not provide an official timetable for his return.
The 2024 season was not kind to the 15-time major champion. Woods opened the year at the Genesis Invitational in February but was forced to withdraw in the second round due to an illness. He didn’t make it to the United States, choosing to play only the majors: the British Open, the PGA Championship and the British Open. He played in all four rounds of the Masters Tournament, finishing in 60th place. Woods is still searching for the perfect way to end his legendary career, so hopefully this latest procedure will bring him one step closer to that goal.
