Tiger Woods To Undergo Back Surgery After Masters. Will Miss Rest Of 2014 Season

Tiger Woods recent injury woes have deepened following a statement on his official website saying that he will undergo a back operation immediately after The Masters.  It was widely leaked inside the ropes last week that Woods back spasms were hiding a more serious disc problem; a prognosis confirmed by the world number one in a statement posted in the last hour.
"€œIt is with great regret that, sadly, the Masters will be my final tournament of this year,"Woods says in the statement before confirming the rumour that a herniated disc requires surgery.  However he claims to have been given a clean bill of health ahead of The Masters, referring to the pain as "€˜periodic"€™ and reassured fans "€œthat as of now, I am healthy and am very much looking forward to competing at Augusta."

The news will come as a particular blow to fans who had looked forward to seeing Woods at the remaining three Majors of the season.  He will also miss the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
Woods remains upbeat on his prospects of making a full recovery following the surgery saying that "€œwith good rehabilitation, I should be fit to return in time for the 2015 season.â€
