Tiger Woods is facing yet another setback in his storied career. The 15-time major champion announced Tuesday that he ruptured his left Achilles tendon while training at home. He underwent surgery that morning to repair the tendon, leaving his return to competitive golf uncertain.

48-year-old Tiger Woods shared the update on social media, explaining that he felt a sharp pain in his Achilles while ramping up his training. Dr. Charlton Stucken of the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach performed a minimally invasive procedure to repair the rupture. “The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,” Dr. Stucken stated. Woods added that he is now home focusing on recovery and rehabilitation.

A Boston Celtics Festivus for the rest of us to get some gripes off of our chests
The Boston Celtics are seemingly stuck at around .500 midway through yet another season that was supposed to be the campaign that saw them finally ascend to contender status while a large part of the roster (and for that matter, the NBA) is in the league’s health and safety protocol after testing positive for COVID-19 despite the majority of the team being vaccinated. Between all this, the political zoo appearing on our televisions and cell phones on a daily basis, and a host of other disappointing to downright frightening things going on in the world at the moment, there is no limit to the things fans of the Celtics could — and should — be complaining about. To that end, on this week’s episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, hosts Justin Quinn, Alex Goldberg, and Cameron Tabatabaie host a Festivus-inspired airing of the grievances for all things Boston Celtics, NBA, and beyond. We try to keep it mostly light in a bit of a dark patch in the NBA schedule with all the COVID-related news currently gripping the league (and put most of the pandemic related talk further towards the end), and touch on the team’s recent play and signing of former No. 10 pick Joe Johnson to keep things balanced. So, be sure to check out the clip embedded above to hear all there is to gripe about in the Celtics media sphere on up with your three favorite NBA curmudgeons.

CLPod 74: The Cs teams that never were, late summer moves & more
Two months out from the start of the regular season, and nearly half as long from camp, more than a few of us are starting to get antsy without basketball to watch.With that in mind, we decided it was time to dust off the microphones and record an episode of the CLPod to talk about the (very few) moves of note going down since the last time we recorded two weeks ago.And with the team in a liminal space between seasons, neither last season’s Celtics nor the next, Mark Allison and Justin Quinn got to thinking about all the different ways this timeline of Boston’s journey from one contending squad to the next could have gone differently.So, we put our heads together, and tried to imagine how the Cs might look if Danny Ainge had kept the last title team together longer, or if Brad Stevens had said no, or if Boston hadn’t signed Al Horford, or…well, you’ll have to listen to hear them all.So, if you’re as ready as we are for some real, live NBA games that count, you’re going to have to wait a while. But if you want some news and analysis on not just this timeline, but several others we don’t happen to be on, buckle up and listen to this week’s CLPod – we have at least another month of doldrums ahead of us, and a lot to be thankful for, if our thought experiments are as realistic as we think they are.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

CL Pod 59: The Boston Celtics Aren’t Dead – They’re Feeling Better, Actually
The Boston Celtics aren’t dead – they’re feeling better actually. Excuse the Monty Python reference, but with all the injuries this team has managed to keep going with yet still be in the hunt for the ultimate prize, Python’s Holy Grail seems pretty apt. The starters have shown signs of life despite being left for dead by the national media, and the second unit keeps on fighting despite losing several key parts, much like the Black Knight. But what other moves has Boston made to address their significant lack of depth, and how are the playoffs looking this week? Maybe most interesting of all, why are beat writers penning missives to their lack of yearning for a departed former player six months after said exit? All these questions and more are answered by Luis Gonzales and Justin Quinn in this week’s podcast.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

After an impressive Game 3 win over the Golden State Warriors on their home court of TD Garden on Wednesday night, the Boston Celtics now find themselves just two wins away from hanging Banner 18.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast did a postgame recap to get some feedback from a massive win into your earholes faster, and with how palpable winning the title has become with the win, we can’t wait for Game 4 to get here to see how the rest of the series plays out.

This latest injury adds to Woods’ long history of physical setbacks. He has undergone multiple surgeries in recent years, including a back procedure last September. He had yet to make a PGA Tour start in 2024 but participated in four TGL matches, the simulator-based league he co-founded.

With no official timeline for his return, speculation is growing about whether Woods will compete again this season. Some have compared his injury to Bernhard Langer, who returned from an Achilles tear in just three months. However, given Woods’ extensive medical history, his recovery could take much longer.

For now, all eyes will be on the Masters Champions Dinner next month, where his presence or absence may hint at his recovery progress. As he turns 50 later this year, the question remains: Will Woods make another comeback, or is this the injury that finally keeps him off the course for good?
