15-time major winner has emergency surgery in FloridaWoods has not played on tour since 2024 Open at Troon
Tiger Woods is a near certainty to miss the Masters for just the fifth time since his debut in 1995 after confirming emergency surgery on a ruptured achilles, sustained while training at home.
Woods, 49, has not played an individual event since missing the cut at last summer’s Open Championship. He is a notable absentee from this week’s Players Championship, with a lack of appearances in the early part of this year partly due to the death of his mother in early February.
