Tiger Woods has undergone surgery on his ankle following his recent withdrawal from The Masters.

The 15-time major champion pulled out of this year’s tournament at Augusta National ahead of the resumption of the third round due to reaggravating his plantar fasciitis.

An update posted on Woods’ social media on Wednesday confirmed he has since had surgery to address arthritis stemming from ankle problems.

“Earlier today, Tiger Woods underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture,” the statement said.

“It was performed by Dr Martin O’Malley at HSS Sports Medicine Institute in New York City. He has determined the surgery to be successful.

“Tiger is currently recovering and looks forward to beginning his rehabilitation.”
