Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods underwent surgery on Tuesday for a ruptured left Achilles tendon. The injury occurred while Woods was intensifying his training and practice at home, according to a statement he released on X.

The procedure was performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken, a sports medicine surgeon at HSS Florida. In the statement, Dr. Stucken mentioned that it was a "minimally invasive" Achilles tendon repair.

"The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery," Dr. Stucken stated.
