Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he recently underwent another surgery, this time to repair a torn Achilles tendon discovered during a home workout. Woods was also in the operating room last September to treat a back ailment.Naturally, the news spread like wildfire throughout the golf world. On social networking site X alone, Woods' post revealing the news had more than 1.6 million views and more than 10,000 reactions in the first hour.Fans have been quick to express their sadness at the situation and send their best wishes to the 15-time major champion."Rest up goat, golf is not the same without you," user @athletelogos posted."That is incredibly unfortunate! I know i speak for many fans when I say Golf is just not the same without you playing. Was hoping we'd see you this year at the Masters & hear some Sunday roars. Wishing you a speedy recovery!," user @DRJBori63 added."Get well. Hope to see you in the booth with Nantz and Immelman at Augusta to give us some good insight," user @Johnnydee27518 said.Some fans went beyond wishing him a speedy recovery and suggested drastic measures for the future, such as using a golf cart or changing his role on the tour."Tiger I want to see you playing, it's time to take a cart if the tour would allow it," user @Mark222728 posted."We need you in the commissioner's role! You've already done so much as a player. Get well soon!," user @GolfAttendance said.According to the statement released by Tiger Woods, the injury occurred in recent days while he was practicing. The surgery was successful, he said, and he is now at home recovering."As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured," Woods said. "This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.""The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery," added Dr. Stucken. I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support."The Masters Tournament is less than a month away, so Woods' absence at Augusta National is a very real possibility given the usual recovery time for this type of injury.More Golf: LIV Golf Incensed with 'Disrespectful' PGA Tour Offer at White House
