Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods ruptured his left Achilles tendon while ramping training and practicing at home and underwent surgery on Tuesday, he announced in a statement on X.
Woods, 49, said Dr. Charlton Stucken of the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, performed a "minimally invasive" Achilles tendon repair.
"The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery," Stucken said in a statement.
Woods said he was back at home in Jupiter, Florida, and plans to "focus on my recovery and rehab." A timeline for his return to competition wasn't immediately known.
