Woods has been working to return to golf after rupturing his Achilles tendon in March 2025 and undergoing back surgery in October of last year.
He competed in the TGL finals for the first time in over a year on Tuesday, where his Jupiter Links GC team lost to Los Angeles Golf Club.
Woods has been on a limited schedule since a car crash in Southern California in February 2021 that left him trapped inside after his vehicle rolled several times.
He later underwent surgery to repair an open fracture of his lower right leg, had a rod inserted into his tibia, and had screws and pins inserted into his foot and ankle during emergency surgery.
After the accident, Woods began a rehabilitation process that included spending three months in a hospital-style bed at home.
He has had at least one surgery related to injuries sustained in the April 2023 crash.

Donald Trump insists Tiger Woods won’t play in the Masters but will be watching. Tiger Woods said just a few days ago that he would make every effort to play in the tournament.
US President Donald Trump insisted Woods would not play in the Masters but would attend to watch the tournament. Just a few days ago, Woods said he would do his best to compete.
“I love Tiger, but he won’t be there. He’ll be there, but he won’t play there,” Trump said Thursday in an interview with the Fox News program The Five.
The five-time Masters winner revealed he remains hopeful about competing, saying he was “trying” to participate despite ongoing physical challenges.
“I’ve been trying, it’s just that this body doesn’t recover like it did when I was 24, 25,” Woods said.
“That doesn’t mean I’m not trying. I’ve been trying for a while.”
