For the second time in two years, Tiger Woods has undergone surgery to repair damage in his back.
According to Woods' official website, he had the same microdiscectomyprocedure that was done in 2014, performed by the same surgeon, Dr. Charles Rich, who provided details about the operation.
"Tiger Woods underwent a microdiscectomy late on Sept. 16 at Park City Medical Center," Dr. Rich said. "With the upcoming offseason, the decision was made to remove a small disc fragment that was pinching his nerve. The microsurgery was a complete success, and he was discharged Thursday night.
