He didn't just have it, he's already hitting balls. I would guess they stagger the announcement with a reasonable buffer, I dunno, so the paparazzi don't go looking for him at the hospitals?

Tiger Woods has undergone his fifth back surgery and will miss at least two tournaments, with the rest of his schedule being an unknown. But...

I was going to post I would guess he had the procedure between the dad son tournament and Christmas, honest, but that was kind of Captain Obvious, so didn't. Anyways, he had it done on the 23rd and was on his feet the next day according to McIlroy.

 

Quote

̌According to Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods underwent his latest surgical procedure to his troublesome back on Dec. 23 and should be ready to play in the Masters.

“In his words, it was a small procedure,” said McIlroy, who is making his first start of 2021. “Obviously, any time you’re being cut into, you try to avoid that as much as you can. But he was back on his feet the next day, so I don’t think we can read too much into it.

He is amazing to suffer through all the operations but keep coming back.

"Amazing" isn't the adjective I would use.

Not sure what word I'd use, but something to reflect a "you're writing checks your body can't cash" perspective.

I think he's using a "credit card" to borrow against time. ☺️

Meh, after his interview with Jim Nantz today during the final round of the LA Open… I don't think he's going to be playing at the Masters.

Didn't hear it live, but reading the quote "I only have one back" makes me think he won't play in The Masters.

Our guy looked like he was on something too. A bit puffy faced and spaced out. I’ll never count him out, but, you’re right, it doesn’t look good.

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
