Fred Couples shares update on Tiger Woods’ recovery

Although Tiger Woods recently had surgery, there was not much information regarding his recovery. Namely, after it was confirmed that Tiger is in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, the majority focused their attention on his private life. 

However, Tiger is currently resting and recovering from surgery, striving to return as soon as possible. 

Fred Couples, a well-known face of the golf scene, decided to reveal the details of the conversation with Woods, saying that the 49-year-old feels great, and that it will be fine.

“I have. I’ve texted Tiger as soon as it happened and he got back to me… He’s in great spirits for a ruptured Achilles,” Couples said, as quoted by The Telegraph.

“He really is, he’ll be fine.”

Achilles injury

Achilles injury can be complicated, but Tiger didn’t want to leave things to chance. The famous golfer has been dealing with various injuries for years, which have created huge problems for him. Although at times it seems that Woods could return to the golf courses, situations like these seem to further confirm that the experienced golfer will never play at full capacity again. 

Couples revealed that Tiger was supposed to play several events, but after the death of his mother, and now the injury, the 49-year-old will have to rest for a while, and think carefully about the next steps in his career.

“It’s such a bummer because people think, when’s he going to play? He was scheduled to play a few events, not a ton, but a few events,” Couples continued. 

“You know, his mother passing away would slow anyone down. But he’s my man, and texting him is a lot of fun.”

Tiger has yet to speak about the injury, nor has he responded to the latest rumors about a new relationship. The experienced golfer now wants to stay away from the cameras, focusing on his recovery. It’s hard to expect him to return anytime soon, but some predict that Woods could play golf again as early as 2026.
