Other parts are taking the brunt of the load, but the ankle is good so that surgery was a success. I’m not concerned at all about walking. I’m having an equal experience with the hardware that has been placed in my foot. I’m just as curious as all of you about what’s going to happen. I haven’t done this in a while.”

He revealed that his ankle is now doing much better than it was at Augusta. However, his other body parts are now hurting. “The forces go somewhere else. Just like when I have my back fused. The force still got to go somewhere. So it’s up the chain.” But thankfully, Woods’ ankle is much better now, making his surgery successful. The famous professional also revealed that he has been having some problems with the hardware.
