Tiger Woods has undergone yet another surgery on his lower back to alleviate pain caused by pinched nerves. This procedure is the latest in a series of surgeries for the 15-time major golf champion, who has faced ongoing health struggles, particularly with his back. Woods, now 48, has had multiple back surgeries over the years, including spinal fusion surgery in 2017, which initially allowed him to make a successful comeback in professional golf, culminating in his 2019 Masters victory.

The recent surgery is intended to relieve discomfort and improve his quality of life, though it raises questions about his future in competitive golf. Woods has been struggling with injuries since his serious car accident in February 2021, which left him with significant leg injuries, further complicating his ability to return to full-time competition. He has expressed a desire to continue playing, but his participation in major tournaments has been limited due to his physical condition.

While Woods remains one of the most iconic figures in the sport, his latest surgery will likely extend his recovery time and add uncertainty to when, or if, he will return to competitive play. His fans and the golf community are hopeful that this procedure will help him manage his pain and improve his chances of returning to the course, even if only for occasional appearances.
