Tiger Woods announced he had a less invasive surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon on Tuesday, yet another injury that would seem likely to keep him out of the Masters and perhaps other major championships this year.

The 15-time major champion posted the development on his social media accounts without detailing how long he expected to be out.

“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,” Woods, 49, said.

He said he had minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon that the doctor said went smoothly. Such surgeries involve smaller incisions, and the recovery time is quicker. But most recoveries take a month before someone can put weight on their foot.

The Masters is April 10-13. Woods set the Masters record last year by making the cut for the 24th time in a row. But he hasn’t competed outside of his new indoor league — except for 18 holes of the Seminole Pro-Member last week — since missing the cut in the British Open last summer.
