<p>Two days after Tiger Woods said his back was progressing, he announces on his website he has had a fourth back surgery to alleviate pain.</p><p>The surgery was performed at the Texas Back Institute.</p><p>Typical recovery is six months, meaning Woods is likely to go another full year without playing a major.</p><p>Woods first had surgery a week before the 2014 Masters. He had two more back operations after the 2015 PGA Tour season and did not play again for 15 months. His last competition was Feb. 3 in the Dubai Desert Classic, where he shot 77 and withdrew because of back spasms.</p><p>Woods says he looks forward to getting back to a normal life that includes playing with his two kids and competing in golf tournaments.</p><style>
