Tiger Woods had recently been ramping up his training regimen in an effort to play in the 2025 Masters. However, he appears to have pushed himself a bit too far. On Tuesday, March 11, less than one month away from the start of the tournament, Woods announced that he had undergone surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg.Although Woods has not played in a PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open last summer, there was still hope that he'd be able to make it to the Masters, a tournament he has only missed once since 2018
Tiger Woods and his girlfriend Vanessa Trump have been no-shows at the Masters, despite the legendary golfer's storied history with the tournament and Vanessa's interest in the sport.But why?For starters, Woods is dealing with a serious injury. According to USA Today, Woods skipped the Masters for the first time since 2021.AdvertisementOn March 11, the golfing legend revealed on X that he had ruptured his Achilles tendon.'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,' he wrote.'This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of
A few years ago, I developed Achilles tendonopathy. It manifested as a feeling like I had a bad blister on the back of my heels, only there was no blister. Everything looked normal. But it took me a year of daily physio and not being able to jump or move faster than a slow walk before the pain went away.
It's started to feel like that again recently, and I have no idea what could have caused it.
When I had it before, it was an overtraining injury. I was practicing Thai kickboxing several times a week. It has a LOT of hopping. And our warmups were lots of rope jumping. Double-unders and such. I loved kickboxing until my tendons wouldn't let me do it anymore.
This time, I haven't been running. I haven't been jumping. I am not overtraining at all. No idea what is causing it. I really hope it isn't returning, because the pain was often excruciating.
I'm going to a physiotherapist tomorrow. It's for something else, but hopefully they can check out my Achilles tendons and help me figure out what's going on.
My body sure loves trolling me. And I sure do miss martial arts.

Tenosynovitis of the Achilles tendons is an inflammation of the sheath that surround the tendon. Usually it provokes pain and interferes with the smooth gliding of the tendon through the sheath. Inflammation may directly damage the tendon, eventually leading to a tendon rupture.
In this post I introduce you some tips on how to self-manage Achilles tendon pain at home and when to see a health professional.

A more seasoned running asked me if I was doing the stairs heel drop exercise when I said I was having achilles issues. I didn't even know it was a thing, but I do them pretty well every day - around 60 of them and no issues since.
