Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods has undergone fusion surgery on a bone in his ankle, he said on Wednesday, 10 days after he withdrew from the Masters due to injury.

The operation was performed to address his post-traumatic arthritis from a previous talus bone fracture, Woods said in a statement posted on Twitter.

"The first goal is to recover and lead a much more enjoyable day-to-day life," Woods' agent Mark Steinberg told the Associated Press.

Woods, 47, has been playing a limited schedule on a rebuilt leg following a 2021 car crash and pulled out of the year's first major after reaggravating a tissue inflammation that makes it difficult for him to walk.

The year's second major, the PGA Championship, takes place next month in Rochester, New York.
