Tiger Woods has had another back surgery, this time to alleviate pain in his back and leg, he announced on his web site Thursday.
"The surgery went well, and I'm optimistic this will relieve my back spasms and pain," Woods said in a statement. "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."
After three surgeries, a disc in Woods' lower back severely narrowed, causing sciatica and severe back and leg pain. During the recent surgery, the damaged disc was removed and the collapsed disc space was elevated to normal levels. The goal is to relieve the pressure on the nerve, a statement on Woods' web site said.
Woods will be resting for several weeks before beginning therapy. The recovery period is typically about six months.
