Tiger Woods Undergoes Surgery for Torn Achilles Tendon

The 15-time major champion faces an extended recovery period after rupturing his Achilles during home practice, casting doubt on his return to competitive golf this season.

Tiger Woods announced he ruptured his left Achilles tendon while practicing at home, requiring minimally invasive surgery performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken in Florida.
The injury adds to a long history of setbacks for Woods, including multiple back surgeries, knee procedures, and injuries stemming from a 2021 car accident.
Recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture typically takes 4-6 months, making Woods' participation in the 2025 PGA Tour season unlikely.
Fans and fellow golfers have shared widespread support for Woods online, with many expressing hope for his eventual return to the sport in some capacity.
Woods' absence raises questions about his future in professional golf, though he remains active in the sport through ventures like his co-founded TGL indoor league.
