Tiger Woods Undergoes Sixth Back Surgery to Address Nerve Impingement

The golf legend hopes the procedure will alleviate pain and allow him to return to normal activities, including golf.

Tiger Woods underwent a microdecompression surgery on his lower back to address nerve impingement and alleviate back spasms.
The surgery, performed by Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, was deemed successful.
Woods, 48, has struggled with back issues throughout the 2024 season, leading to poor performances and early exits from major tournaments.
This marks Woods' sixth back surgery in the past decade, following previous procedures and a serious car accident in 2021.
Woods aims to return to competitive golf, with hopes to participate in the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship later this year.
