"The surgery went smoothly and I'm hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season," wrote Woods on a social media post.
"I look forward to tackling this rehab and preparing myself to get back to normal life activities, including golf."
This latest back surgery now marks the sixth of Woods' career.
It comes nearly 18 months after Woods underwent ankle surgery some two years after his horror car crash in Los Angeles in 2021.
GolfMagic spoke exclusively to Woods' Sun Day Red creative designer Cáje Moye this week.
Moye confirmed that if a 16th major title does arrive for Woods then the Sun Day Red logo will be completely ripped up.
But after today's latest shock update of the state of Woods' back, you have to believe a 16th major title is now well off the table.
Then again, this is Tiger Woods.
The 15-time major champion confirmed when missing the cut at The 152nd Open at Royal Troon in July that he would unlikely not be playing competitively again until the PNC Championship alongside his son Charlie Woods just before Christmas.
