Woods had long suffered from sciatica that impeded his performance. Finally, in 2017, Woods made up his mind to go through a surgery and get rid of the uncontrollable pains. Dr. Richard Guyer of the Center for Disc Replacement at the Texas Back Institute performed the surgery. Because of herniations and three other surgeries, “Woods’ bottom lower-back disc severely narrowed” and caused sciatica.

After the surgery, Woods had said, “The surgery went well, and I’m optimistic this will relieve my back spasms and pain. When healed, I look forward to getting back to a normal life, playing with my kids, competing in professional golf and living without the pain I have been battling so long.”
