Fifteen-times major champion Tiger Woods has undergone fusion surgery on a bone in his ankle, he said, 10 days after he withdrew from the Masters due to injury.
The operation was performed to address his post-traumatic arthritis from a previous talus bone fracture, Woods said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Woods, 47, has been playing a limited schedule on a rebuilt leg following a 2021 car crash and pulled out of the year’s first major after reaggravating a tissue inflammation that makes it difficult for him to walk.
