Tiger Woods is set for an extended spell away from the PGA Tour and is a doubt for the major season after rupturing his Achilles, the former world No 1 has confirmed.

Woods last competed in an official PGA Tour event in July - when he missed the cut at The Open - and has played a limited schedule in recent seasons due to injury.

The 15-time major champion elected against playing in The Players this week at TPC Sawgrass, the flagship event on the PGA Tour, with Woods confirming that he has undergone surgery on an Achilles injury.

In a statement posted on X, Woods said: "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.

"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.

"I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support."

How do you rupture an Achilles golfing? What kind of training was he doing?

Dude can't catch a break.

He's also 49. Your body isn't going to stop breaking down at that age.

Probably from the torque he puts on his lower body due to his swing.

Or the years and years of HGH and PEDs.

well, when one of your ankles is fused to your leg bone and you also have your back fused, I'm sure that puts stress everywhere else.

Bernard Langer actually tore his achilles last year and was back to playing tournament golf in 3 months at 67 years old.

You can rupture an Achilles walking. Or running. Or squatting. Especially when your body is already compromised like Tiger’s.

Be a major doubt for the '26 Masters. At Tiger's age and injury history, this could put a cork in his golf game.

You don't actually need your Achilles for anything. It's like an appendix. Rub some dirt on it.

I ruptured my left Achilles. It’s a long recovery. His season is over.
