Tiger Woods' injury timeline: Surgeries, procedures and comebacks during his career

From multiple back surgeries to winning a major with stress fractures and a torn ACL and then his return following his car crash, we look at how injury has affected Tiger Woods' career as he deals with his latest setback...

The injury had caused him issues since the Open Championship the previous summer, while Woods was later told he had two stress fractures in his left tibia and should have a further six weeks' rest.

Victory at Torrey Pines would be Woods' last start for nearly nine months, as the world No 1 recovered from reconstructive surgery on his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) as well as having cartilage damage repaired.

Tiger reportedly believed it to be a bulging disc in his neck, but it was later confirmed as an inflamed facet joint. Woods did not stay away for long, playing the Memorial Tournament the following month.

A sprained Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) ligament in his left knee and strained left Achilles tendon saw Woods miss the next three months, including the middle two majors of the year, eventually coming back at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Reluctant to finish the round and risk further damage, Woods said he did "what I thought was necessary", but would go on to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational just a fortnight later.

The then world No 1 needed to use his putter for support to pick his ball out of the hole during the closing stretch, but Woods was still fit to feature at the Deutsche Bank Championship just a few days later.

In a statement after the round, Woods said the pains had first surfaced during the warm-up and were similar to those suffered at the Barclays during the previous summer. He pulled out of his scheduled appearance at the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks later.

He said he had hoped to return to to the PGA Tour "sometime in the summer" and featured four months later at the Quicken Loans National.
