Tiger Woods is out of the Masters and probably for the rest of the year after surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Four-times major champion Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday he does not expect Tiger Woods, who had surgery this week for a ruptured Achilles tendon, to return to competition this year. Woods, 49, did not offer insight on the severity of his latest injury setback or a recovery timeline but McIlroy thinks the 15-times major winner has a long period of recuperation ahead of him.

Tiger Woods' latest setback has left the golf world reeling. In a shocking announcement, Woods revealed his left Achilles tendon while training at home.
