I am now back home and intend to focus on my recovery and rehabilitation. Thank you all for the support", Woods' statements.
Tiger Woods, injury
There is no peace for the 15-time Major champion who, last September, underwent a new back surgery. Then, the return to the field in Orlando, in December, paired with his son Charlie in the PNC Championship. Then, the sudden death of his mother Kultida. Yet another hard blow for Woods, forced to skip The Masters, the first men's Major of 2025 scheduled for April 10-13 in Augusta, Georgia.
Eldrick Tont Woods, better known as Tiger Woods, born December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California, is an American golfer.
Considered one of the greatest golfers of all time, he is one of the most popular athletes of the early 21st century. Winner of 15 major tournaments, he revolutionized the world of golf with his athletic achievements and by attracting a new audience.
Precocious, Tigerbegan playing golf at a young age and achieved exceptional results in all junior categories. An amateur, highly regarded for his extraordinary skills, he turned professional in the late summer of 1996. Winner of the 1997 Masters, he became world number one less than a season after turning professional. Dominant for most of the 2000s, various physical problems with his knees and back forced him to reinvent his game.
A commercial figure and the poster boy for the sportswear company Nike, Tiger racked up a string of lucrative off-course contracts, making him one of the richest athletes of the 2000s despite the scandals that marred his private life and his marriage in 2009.
