Legendary golfer Tiger Woods says he is no longer experiencing pain in his right ankle. The fifteen-time major champion underwent a subtalar fusion surgery on the ankle earlier this year. 

But, Woods cautioned that the issues in his leg remain a work in progress.

"My ankle is fine. Where they fused my ankle, I have absolutely zero issue whatsoever," Woods said Tuesday. "That pain is completely gone. It’s the other areas that have been compensated for."

Woods did not provide any clues on when he could get back into the swing of things on the golf course.

Woods also said he still has issues in other areas of his body.

"But all the surrounding areas is where I had all my problems and I still do," he said. "So you fix one, others have to become more hypermobile to get around it, and it can lead to some issues."
