The legendary golf Tiger Woods continued to face a major obstacle in his career when he had just undergone the surgery after having a left -foot Achilles tendon during his home training in Florida. This raises a big question about the ability to attend Masters and even his entire 2025 season.
In a social network announcement, Woods said he felt a throbbing pain while preparing for his return to the professional golf arena. The doctor confirmed it was a serious injury, forcing him to perform Achilles tendon surgery.
Woods shared about injuries and surgery: “During the process of training at home to regain my form, I felt a throbbing pain in the left -leg Achilles tendon. The test results showed that it was broken, ”Woods wrote in the official announcement. “The surgery was performed this morning by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Surgery Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. This is a less invasive surgery to restore damaged tendons. I have returned home and will focus on recovery. Thank you everyone for your support. ”
Dr. Stucken also affirmed: “The surgery went smoothly and we expect Woods to recover completely.”
This latest injury was a big shock for Woods, especially when he had to go through the sixth back surgery in September last year. Even so, he still returned to the field with his son Charlie at PNC Championship in December, where his father and son lost to Bernhard Langer and his son in the playoff series. Woods also participated in many matches at TGL for Jupiter Links before having this problem.
However, his ability to return this year is currently being questioned. According to Cleveland Clinic, the Achilles tendons usually takes 4 to 6 months to recover completely. If the recovery process lasts long, Woods may have to miss the entire Major season in 2025.
The NHS health system also recommends: “In the first two weeks after surgery, patients should not put any weight on the damaged legs. Before discharged from the hospital, physiotherapists will guide how to move with crutches. ”
For a athlete who has undergone a series of surgeries from the knee, back to ankle, Woods has never easily given up. But the Achilles injury is not a simple problem, especially for a 49 -year -old golfer and has a dense history of injury.
Masters 2025 will probably lack the presence of Tiger Woods. But with his resilient fighting spirit, fans still have reason to hope for a spectacular return of the “super tiger” in the future.
