Tiger Woods undergoes surgery on ruptured Achilles tendon

Tiger Woods underwent surgery for a ruptured left Achilles tendon, performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, as announced by Woods on social media.
Woods plans to focus on his recovery and rehabilitation after not competing in any PGA Tour event this season due to personal reasons.
His return timeline to competition is unknown, with the Masters starting April 10, 2025, complicating his comeback plans.
The surgery was described as minimally invasive and is expected to allow for quicker recovery, but Woods is still expected to be out for at least a month before putting weight on his foot.
