‘Enough is enough’ — Tiger Woods confirms brutal injury blow as golf reacts to ‘nightmare’

Tiger Woods has revealed he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon, derailing the veteran golf superstar’s comeback plans in the latest injury setback to rock the twilight of his glittering career.

“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” Woods confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.

“This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.

“The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery, added Dr. Stucken.

“I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”

Woods gave no timetable for his possible return from his latest debilitating injury.

The 15-time major champion hasn’t teed it up in a tournament since the Open Championship last July.

After another back surgery in September he did play alongside 15-year-old son Charlie in the PNC Championship family event in Florida in December.

He has also played in the TGL indoor simulator league he launched with Northern Ireland star Rory McIlroy this year.

But the 49-year-old, still hampered by serious leg injuries he suffered in a 2021 car crash, hasn’t played a regular PGA Tour event since the Genesis Invitational in 2024 – when he withdrew early because of illness.

Woods had committed to play in this year’s Genesis Invitational but withdrew because he was “just not ready” days after the death of his mother, Kultida.

Woods’s latest injury setback comes less than a month before the first major of the year, the Masters at Augusta National.

He finished 60th at the Masters last year and missed the cut in the year’s other three majors.
