Tiger Woods Undergoes Seventh Back Surgery, Determined to Bounce Back

As of October 13th, 2025, golf legend Tiger Woods has undergone his seventh back surgery. The 49-year-old pro recently shared that he had a disc replaced in his lower spine to address a collapsed disc, disc fragments, and a compromised spinal canal.

Woods' latest surgery, performed on October 10th, 2025, was deemed successful by his surgeon, Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. This comes after Woods ruptured his Achilles tendon earlier this year, which he had repaired in a minimally invasive procedure.

Despite these ongoing health challenges, Woods remains determined to recover and return to the golf course. He has previously undergone six other back surgeries, including multiple microdiscectomy procedures, to address persistent pain and discomfort in his lower spine. Woods is hopeful that this latest surgery will help alleviate the back spasms and pain he has experienced in recent years.

As Woods focuses on his rehabilitation, golf fans eagerly await his return to the sport he has dominated for over two decades. With his unwavering determination and the support of his medical team, the 15-time major champion is poised to make a comeback and continue his legacy in the world of golf.
