Tiger Woods announced on Tuesday that he jumped his left Achilles.
“When I began to increase my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was considered to be broken,” Woods announced on social media.
Woods said he underwent the operation on Tuesday, it “went smooth” and “We expect a full recovery.”

“I’m home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehabilitation, thanks for all support.”
Woods has participated in his new venture, TGL, A Golf Simulator League founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy. He is collaborated with Tom Kim, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner.
Woods’ already gloomy future somehow looks even more ominous. Since the end tied to the ninth by the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open, his best finish in his 18 official events since then has been tied to 37 due to championship in 2020.
Last year he competed in only five events, one of which was Genesis Invitational, the other four majors. He retired from Genesis, ended dead at the end of the masters and missed the cut in the last three majors.

It came after he only competed in Genesis and Masters in 2023, when he finished tied up in 45 respectively. In 2022 he played in Masters (47.), PGA Championship (withdrew) and the Open Championship (unanswered cut).
Just when it looked like Woods turned the clock back, it seemed like all false hope. In 2018, he finished second in the FedEx Cup position. In 2019 he won the masters.
Since then, it has been a tough stretch for Woods, which in 14 majors has since won the green jacket in 2019 has failed to assemble a top 20 finish. It is his longest such strip since he was not in the top 20 in the first six majors in his careers in 1995 and 1996. In his last 26 majors he has only four top 20 finishes.

After the US Open, Woods admitted to 49 in December, “maybe or maybe not” has been his last. His latest injury raises more questions about his future.
