West Palm Beach: The 15-time major champion Tiger Woods has said that he has undergone lumbar disc replacement surgery after experiencing pain and lack of mobility. 

The surgery was performed by Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi and his team at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and was deemed successful.

"After experiencing pain and lack of mobility in my back, I consulted with doctors and surgeons to have tests taken. The scans determined that I had a collapsed disc in L4/5, disc fragments and a compromised spinal canal. I opted to have my disc replaced yesterday, and I already know I made a good decision for my health and my back," Woods said in a statement he shared on social media.
