Tiger Woods undergoes surgery on ruptured Achilles tendon one month before 2025 Masters

The 49-year-old is out indefinitely following a significant surgery; he has played the last three Masters​

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he has undergone successful surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg. Woods has not played on the PGA Tour since the 2024 Open last summer, and now, he appears to be out indefinitely one month before the 2025 Masters, the first major championship of the season.

"As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured," Woods posted. "This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.

"'The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,' added Dr. Stucken. I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support."

While neither Woods nor Stucken provided a timeline, recovery for an athlete who suffers a ruptured Achilles is generally 4-6 months. Tiger would effectively miss the entire season and be unlikely to play again until 2026.

Just sayin': It's about time for Tiger to call it a "golfing career" and (besides his business interests) just spend even more time with his other ambition, i.e. Charlie & Sam.

Charlie Woods cards 6-under 66 to win first career AJGA title

Charlie Woods: Tiger's son wins first American Junior Golf Association  event - BBC Sport


Tiger Woods needs to make room on his trophy shelf for son Charlie's hardware.

The 16-year-old son of the 15-time major winner shot a 6-under 66 in the final round to win the American Junior Golf Association's Team TaylorMade Invitational at the Streamsong Resort Black Course on Wednesday.

Woods bested a 71-player field that included four of the top-five-ranked AJGA players for his first AJGA title in five events. His previous best AJGA finish was a tie for 25th at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March. Woods entered this week's event ranked 606th in the latest AJGA rankings.

Woods, whose final round featured eight birdies and two bogeys, finished with a three-round score of 15-under 201. He closed with four straight pars to win the event by three strokes over fifth-ranked Luke Colton, Willie Gordon and Phillip Dunham.
