Tiger Woods shared a shocking health update Tuesday as he revealed he had ruptured his Achilles.
Woods, who has not played an official competitive round since last July, had been expected to make his comeback at The Masters, which begins on April 10.
However, any hopes of making his return on the hallowed fairways of Augusta National, where the 49-year-old has been victorious five times throughout his career, were dashed this week.
Woods shared Tuesday that he was recovering from an Achilles rupture as he ramped up his reapportions for his return to competitive golf.
‘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,’ the 15-time major winner shared in a statement.
‘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.
