Tiger Woods announced he ruptured his achilles during his ramp up in training. The 15-time major champion was gearing up for, likely, a limited 2025 schedule that would include major tournaments.
“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 said in a statement. “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.”
Woods’ doctor also released a statement. The golfing legend is expected to make a full recovery.
“The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,” Dr. Stucken said.
