Tiger Woods’ surgically repaired back wasn’t the only health issue he dealt with this season.
Woods on Tuesday announced that he recently underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair minor ligament damage in his left knee. In a statement, Woods’ doctor said that he expected the reigning Masters champion to make a “full recovery” and that there were no additional problems.
Woods said that he has resumed walking and can continue practicing in a couple of weeks. He said that he is still on track to play the PGA Tour’s Zozo Championship in October.
This is Woods’ first mention of any knee trouble this season, but his left knee in particular has caused him problems through his career – this is believed to be the fifth procedure on his left knee.
