Tiger Woods has surgery on ankle to fix ‘post-traumatic arthritis’ and golf legend has ‘no timetable for return’
TIGER WOODS has undergone surgery on his ankle.
The operation was done to try and fix post-traumatic arthritis.
The problem stemmed from his horror car crash in 2021 that almost cost the golf legend his life.
Woods shattered his leg as well as fracturing the talus bone in his ankle.
And despite returning to competitive golf after multiple operations, the trouble with his ankle had persisted.
Now, though, he has gone under the knife in New York with surgeon Dr Martin O’Malley, who deemed it to have been successful in resolving the arthritis.
A post on Woods’ social media said: “Earlier today, Tiger underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture.
“Tiger is currently recovering and looks forward to beginning his rehabilitation.”
