Tiger Woods has had another setback in his golfing journey. On Tuesday, Woods announced that he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles that tore when he was practicing at home.
Woods has not played on the PGA Tour this year. But now, he is definitely out for the rest of the season. He was expected to return last month at the Genesis Invitational that he hosts each year, but he withdrew shortly before the tournament following the death of his mother, Kultida, on Feb. 4.
With Woods now sidelined with another major injury, what is next for him in competition? Woods has struggled with various injuries in recent years. He’s undergone several major back surgeries, and he nearly lost his right leg after he was in a car crash in Southern California in 2021.
Woods said that the biggest issue for him is simply walking the course for four straight days due to his leg and back injuries. With this Achilles injury at 49, it certainly isn’t going to make that any easier. While it’s unclear if Woods will attempt to compete in the PGA again, he will ultimately go down as one of the greatest golfers of all time.
