No one moves the needle in his respective sport quite like how Tiger Woods does in golf. So, whenever the 15-time major winner speaks, people listen. That’s in regard to a number of topics, from the PGA Tour to still chasing Jack Nicklaus’ major record to LIV Golf to his own personal health.
The last of those has been a topic of conversation for much of the last dozen years. Woods is currently sidelined after undergoing what’s believed to be his seventh back surgery on Oct. 10, 2025. That came while he was already rehabbing from a torn Achilles tendon in March 2025. Add in that he just turned 50 years old last month, and there are several roadblocks in Woods’ way regarding a return to golf.
