Tiger Woods Undergoes Surgery For Ruptured Achilles

Tiger Woods underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon.

Woods said on social media that he sustained the injury while training at home in Jupiter, Fla.

As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured, Woods said. This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.

Stucken didn't immediately provide a timetable but said there were no issues during the surgery.

The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery, Stucken said.
