This is Woods’ second surgery this year, following a procedure in March due to a rupture in his left Achilles tendon, and the second back surgery in the last 13 months.<\/p>\n\n\nWoods explained that he consulted doctors and surgeons after experiencing pain and lack of mobility in his back.\n\n\n

The following year, he won the Tour Championship and in 2019, he achieved his 15th major and his fifth green jacket at the Masters.\n\nIn February 2021, Woods suffered a car accident that fractured his right leg and ankle, a situation that, according to him, almost led to amputation.\n\nHe returned to competition a year later at the 2022 Masters.\n\nSince the accident, Woods has played only 15 times in the last four years, including four appearances at the PNC Championship, where he can use a cart in the 36-hole event.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Woods Undergoes Seventh Back Surgery The renowned golfer Tiger Woods underwent his seventh back surgery on Friday, this time to replace a disc in his lower back.
