The 49-year-old icon sustained the injury while intensifying his training at home, marking yet another challenge in his injury-plagued career.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken, a renowned sports medicine surgeon at HSS Florida, specializing in complex knee and shoulder surgeries. Dr. Stucken expressed optimism, stating, “The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery for a ruptured Achilles tendon repair.”
Woods, who has not competed in a PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open Championship, withdrew from The Genesis and subsequent tournaments following the passing of his mother in February 2025. This latest setback adds to a long history of injuries, including previous Achilles issues, ACL repairs, and other ailments that have tested his resilience over the past two decades.
Fans and the golfing world await updates on Woods’ recovery, hoping the 82-time PGA Tour winner can return to the course. Stay tuned for further developments on this breaking story.
