Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods said on Wednesday that he has had another surgery on his lower right leg, which was severely injured in his 2021 car accident.

A post on the 15-time major champion's official Twitter feed said he underwent a "subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture".

The subtalar joint is located just below the ankle joint, and a fusion can relieve pain.

No timetable was given for Woods's return, although the statement called the surgery, performed by Dr Martin O'Malley at HSS Sports Medicine in New York City, a success.
