Tiger Woods has undergone his sixth back surgery, a microdecompression surgery to address nerve impingement in his lower back, aiming to alleviate back spasms and pain that plagued his 2024 season. The surgery, performed by Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, was deemed successful. Woods, who has been limited in his tournament participation due to injuries, including a serious car accident in 2021, expressed optimism about his recovery and future golfing endeavors. Despite missing cuts at major tournaments this year, Woods plans to return to golf, targeting events like the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship in December. His ongoing struggles with injuries have significantly impacted his ability to compete regularly on the PGA Tour.
