The biggest name in all of golf won’t be a part of the biggest golf tournament in the world come April at Augusta National. That’s because 15-time major winner, and five-time Masters champion, Tiger Woods, will miss the first major of the year after tearing his Achilles’ tendon. Woods underwent surgery to repair it on Tuesday, and he will be out indefinitely during his recovery.

Woods broke the news on social media shortly after the surgery on Tuesday afternoon.
