Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods underwent surgery Tuesday after rupturing his left Achilles tendon while ramping up training and practice at home, he announced in a statement on X.

Woods, 49, said Dr. Charlton Stucken of the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, performed a "minimally invasive" Achilles tendon repair.

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

Woods said he was back at home in Jupiter, Florida, and plans to "focus on my recovery and rehab." A timeline for his return to competition wasn't immediately known.

Woods hadn't competed in a PGA Tour event this season following the death of his mother, Kultida Woods, on Feb. 4. He had entered the field for the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines outside San Diego, but withdrew from the field, saying he wasn't ready to compete after her passing.

Woods last competed in a tour event when he missed the cut at The Open at Royal Troon Golf Course in Scotland in July.

He has competed in four TGL matches this season, including Jupiter Links' 9-1 loss to Atlanta Drive GC in the regular-season finale on March 4.

In September 2024, Woods underwent microdecompression surgery of the lumbar spine for nerve impingement in the lower back. It was believed to be the sixth surgery on his lower back in the past 10 years.
