Will Zalatoris, a professional golfer, marked a significant milestone in his journey back to the Masters tournament at Augusta National. A year after undergoing a microdiscectomy surgery to address back issues, Zalatoris found himself on the practice range alongside golf legend Tiger Woods, who had undergone the same procedure multiple times in the past.
Zalatoris' back problems stemmed from his dynamic swing, which put strain on his slender frame. A pivotal moment came during the British Open when he hit a shot from thick fescue, leading to two herniated discs and excruciating pain. Despite initial attempts at treatment through shots and rest, Zalatoris eventually required surgery after experiencing severe symptoms during warm-up at Augusta National.
