Tiger Woods undergoes shock back surgery in hopes to get back to golf, provides unexpected update
In a surprise announcement on social media, Tiger Woods revealed that he has recently undergone another back surgery. This procedure follows a surgery he had on his ankle for plantar fasciitis just over a year ago.
Tiger Woods announced on X that he recently underwent microdecompression surgery of the lumbar spine to address nerve impingement in his lower back. The procedure was performed by Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach. This is Tiger Woods’ sixth back surgery.
Here’s what Woods’ post read:
“The surgery went smoothly, and l’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season. I look forward to tackling this rehab and preparing myself to get back to normal life activities, including golf.”
Woods will be hoping to get back to the 2025 PGA Tour season next year. He will also be looking to play the Hero World Challenge at the end of this year and the PNC Championship with his son, Charlie Woods.
