In the wake of his most recent back surgery, Tiger Woods is focused on returning to a "healthy, active lifestyle" according to his agent.
Woods underwent an anterior lumbar interbody fusion Wednesday, his fourth back surgery since April 2014. The procedure was designed to alleviate spasms and lower back and leg pain that have continued to plague Woods, and it's expected to effectively end his 2017 golf season.
According to Woods agent, Mark Steinberg, this latest surgery is "dramatically different" from the previous three procedures and one that Woods hopes will lead to a more permanent improvement in his overall quality of life.
