Overview

• Woods said the operation Friday at Hospital for Special Surgery was successful and that he is recovering in hospital.
• Scans showed a collapsed L4/5 disc with fragments and a compromised spinal canal, prompting the disc replacement.
• No return-to-play timetable was provided, with multiple outlets reporting his December Hero World Challenge and PNC starts now unlikely.
• Reporting also indicates his participation in the upcoming TGL season is doubtful given the timing of the surgery.
• The procedure is his seventh back operation and follows a March repair of a ruptured left Achilles after years of injuries, including those from his 2021 car crash.
