Stricker had the procedure at a Wisconsin hospital on Tuesday
after being hampered by a compressed nerve in his lower back
that has caused problems in his hips and legs.
"I'm very excited to get back to practising and competing in
2015 and expect to be 100 percent physically which really
excites me.” said Stricker said in a statement.
The 47-year-old does not have a specific target date for a
return to competition.
Stricker, who reached as high as second in the world rankings,
currently is ranked 41st.
