Tiger Woods is clearing the air about his future in golf after announcing he will undergo surgery.
The 15-time major champion Tiger Woods shared some big health news on Friday, revealing that he recently underwent surgery for a compressed nerve in his lower back.
A legendary athlete and golfer, Woods has battled injuries throughout his career. His injury problems began with knee surgery in December 2002 and have since included numerous back, ankle and Achilles injuries. Despite these setbacks, Woods has consistently made his way back to the golf course.
He remains optimistic about returning soon, even after a challenging 2024 season. \ “This surgery is smooth, and we hope this will help relieve convulsions and pain experienced in the 2024 season,” Woods said. \ “I am looking forward to this rehabilitation, including golf, and the opportunity to work in preparing to return to normal life.

At 48, Woods has 82 PGA Tour victories, five Masters titles, is the only player to win all four major championships in a row, and is one of only five players to complete a career grand slam. His impact on golf has been enormous. He may not be the player he once was, but the surgery will hopefully improve his comfort and performance given that he has had difficulty walking on the course since his car accident in 2021.
He remains the sport’s biggest attraction and his return will continue to be closely watched.
