Tiger Woods had surgery Tuesday morning in a ruptured left-lithiate crack, and the person he returned to golf is unclear, according to a brief statement to his social media channel.
According to the statement, the 15-time main champion felt tendon pain after training and practice at home. Woods hasn’t played since last September’s open championship, even though he played four games in TGL, a simulator-based league he co-founded.
