Tiger Woods has not played on the PGA Tour since 2024

Tiger Woods has had disc replacement surgery in the latest setback to stall his return to the PGA Tour.

The 15-time major champion has been sidelined since missing the cut at The Open in July 2024 and took to social media to announce the news.

"After experiencing pain and lack of mobility in my back, I consulted with doctors and surgeons to have tests taken," Woods said in a statement.

"I opted to have my disc replaced yesterday, and I already know I made a good decision for my health and my back."
