Golf superstar Woods undergoes new back surgery

Author: AFP

Tiger Woods said Friday he’d undergone back surgery aimed at relieving muscle spasms that troubled him in 2024, the 15-time major champion saying he hoped to resume “normal life activities, including golf.” Woods, who turns 49 in December, hasn’t played since he missed the cut at the Open Championship in July. Playing a limited schedule in 2024 as he continued to deal with injuries sustained in a 2021 car crash, Woods withdrew from the Genesis Invitational because of illness then finished last among those who made the cut at the Masters. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship and US Open before missing the cut at Royal Troon. “The surgery went smoothly, and I’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season,” Woods said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “I look forward to tackling this rehab and preparing myself to get back to normal life activities, including golf.”
