The ankle problem is the latest in a line of setbacks for Woods, who feared his leg would have to be amputated because of the serious injuries he suffered in a car accident in Los Angeles in February 2021. Tiger is recovering and looks forward to beginning his rehabilitation." He has determined the surgery to be successful. "It was performed by Dr Martin O'Malley at HSS Sports Medicine Institute in New York. "Earlier today, Tiger underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture," said a statement on Woods' social media channels. The US Open in Los Angeles starts on 16 June while The Open begins on 20 July at Royal Liverpool, where Woods won the most recent of his three Claret Jugs in 2006. Woods is now a huge doubt for next month's US PGA Championship being held at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester from 18-21 May. He faced a fresh setback in 2021 when he was involved in a serious rollover crash in California which again imperilled his playing career before making another comeback to major championship golf last year at the Masters.He had an operation on Wednesday in New York to correct an arthritis issue from a previous ankle fracture. Since that scandal, Woods has slowly rebuilt his career, winning the Masters in 2019 to complete a fairytale comeback after years of injuries and multiple surgeries. Woods' squeaky-clean image imploded in 2009 after revelations of multiple infidelities, leading to his divorce from his first wife Elin Nordegren in 2010. The legal dispute threatens to drag Woods' private life into the media spotlight once again, 14 years after the sex scandal which almost destroyed his career and shocked the sporting world. Herman's lawyers claim Woods is in violation of an "oral tenancy agreement" allowing her to live in the mansion - reportedly worth $54 million - and are suing for damages. "By trickery, agents of the defendant (Woods) convinced the plaintiff (Herman) to pack a suitcase for a short vacation and, when she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence," the court filing said. Herman's suit alleges that "agents" for Woods duped her into leaving the mansion last year by telling her to prepare for a vacation. In court filings also seen by AFP, Herman's lawyers have sued the Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust, which is the legal entity that owns Woods's home in Florida. Herman's bid to waive her NDA agreement marks an escalation of a legal dispute with Woods which began last October, but has gone largely unreported in the US media. Herman's case filings do not go into further details and there are no specific allegations against Woods.īut in response to a question on the court filing which reads "Does this case involve allegations of sexual abuse?" Herman's attorneys have checked the box marked "Yes". The law, which became effective last year in the wake of the MeToo movement, makes nondisclosure agreements unenforceable in cases involving sexual assault and harassment.
