BAD NEWS Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods breaks his silence, as he announces heartbreaking reason his father won’t be able to participate in the 2025 Final Masters…

Tiger Woods, the five-time Masters champion and 15-time major winner, has officially withdrawn from the 2025 Masters Tournament due to a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during training at his Florida home. The injury required minimally invasive surgery performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach. Woods announced the news via social media on March 11, stating, “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” .

This setback is the latest in a series of health challenges for Woods, who has undergone multiple surgeries, including six back procedures and a complex foot surgery following a near-fatal car accident in 2021. He has not competed in a PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open Championship and had planned to return at the Genesis Invitational in February but withdrew following the death of his mother, Kultida .

Recovery from Achilles tendon surgery typically spans four to six months, making Woods’ participation in the remaining major tournaments of the year unlikely . Despite this, Woods holds a lifetime exemption to the Masters as a past champion, leaving the door open for a potential return when his health permits .

While Woods has not made a public statement about his withdrawal beyond his initial announcement, his son, Charlie Woods, has not issued any comments regarding his father’s condition or future plans.

As the golf world adjusts to the absence of one of its most iconic figures, fans and fellow players alike send their well-wishes for Woods’ recovery and hope to see him back on the course in the future.
