Trump meets Zelenskiy, says Putin wants war to end, mulls trilateral talks
Investing.com -- Tiger Woods, the renowned golfer, announced on Tuesday that he underwent a minimally invasive surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon. This new injury is expected to prevent him from participating in the Masters and possibly other major championships this year.
Woods shared the news of his surgery on his social media accounts, without specifying the anticipated duration of his recovery. He stated that he experienced a sharp pain in his left Achilles during his personal training and practice at home, which was later diagnosed as a rupture.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida. Dr. Stucken confirmed that the surgery went smoothly and a full recovery is expected. This type of surgery involves smaller incisions and generally has a quicker recovery period, although most patients are unable to put weight on their foot for at least a month.
Woods, who last year set a Masters record by making the cut for the 24th time in a row, has not competed outside of his indoor league, except for 18 holes of the Seminole Pro-Member last week, since he missed the cut in the British Open last summer. The Masters tournament is scheduled for April 10-13.
Woods stated that he would now focus on his recovery and rehabilitation. He expressed gratitude for the support he has received.
