Tiger Woods had to undergo ankle surgery to address post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture. This surgery was necessary as he had to withdraw from The Masters earlier this year due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. The surgery was performed at the HSS Sports Medicine Institute in New York City, and according to Dr. Martin O’Malley, it was successful. Woods is currently recovering and undergoing rehabilitation, but no timeline has been given for his return to competitive action.
