Tiger Woods underwent another successful back surgery, the 15-time major champion announced via social media on Friday. It was his sixth publicly disclosed back surgery.
“The surgery went smoothly,” Woods said in the statement posted to X (formerly Twitter). “I’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.”
Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, performed the microdecompression surgery of the lumbar spine for nerve impingement in Woods’ lower back.
Woods is no stranger to injuries. This surgery was Woods’ first back surgery since shortly before he was involved in a car accident that seriously injured his legs in February 2021. He required further surgeries in the aftermath of his crash, and his 2023 season was disrupted by another surgery to his right ankle.
Woods has struggled to perform this season, missing the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and British Open, withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational due to illness and placing 60th at the Masters.
