The physical problems of Tiger Woods are no less. When training at home, he has now suffered another serious injury.

Golf star Tiger Woods was seriously injured again. The 49-year-old said that he had suffered a tear of the Achilles tendon in his left leg. This happened at home during training, “I felt a stinging pain”. He had already been operated on. “The operation went smoothly and we expect a complete recovery,” said the doctor Charlton Stuck. There was no forecast when Woods can train again or play golf.

Woods was operated on the back in September. Increased nerves were treated in the lower area of ​​the spine. After his numerous operations and a serious car accident in February 2021, in which he had broken his right leg several times, Woods only competes at a few selected tournaments.

Most recently, Woods had experienced a sporting debacle in July with the early end of the British Open and then declared his season an early stage. In February he reported for a PGA tournament in San Diego, but had not started after the death of his mother.
