Tiger Woods announced his return to competitive golf and will play Tuesday night for his Jupiter Links TGL team in the indoor Tee to Green League, part of a best-of-three series where Jupiter Links previously lost to Los Angeles in the opener.
Key details:
– The Tee to Green League is played indoors with golfers simulating real play.
– Woods heads Jupiter Links but has not played for the team this season.
– Last year brought injuries for Woods: an Achilles rupture in March and a lumbar disk replacement in October.
– The last major he played was the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024.
– Woods has not ruled out a Masters in the near term; he says he’s been working on it and that recovery can vary day to day.
– A Masters bio hints at a continued pursuit, noting he would be making his 27th Masters start in 2026.
– Some observers, including USA Today, urge caution, arguing that indoor simulator play is not the same as competing on Augusta National and that decisions should come after Tuesday’s results.
the report centers on Woods’ cautious return to competition, his ongoing recovery, and the tickets he’s set to test Tuesday in the TGL format while balancing optimism about a potential masters bid with caution about his current physical readiness.

Last year, was a year of injuries and surgery for Woods, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon in March and underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October.
The last time Woods competed in a major tournament was in 2024, when he played the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024.
Woods has been oblique when asked if he will try to Masters next month.
“I said I’ve been working on it. Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disk replacement is not a lot of fun,” the 50-year-old said.
As noted by the BBC, Woods said playing in the Masters is “not off the table” although multiple operations over the years have taken their toll.
“The body doesn’t quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn’t quite bounce back,” Woods said.
“So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it’s hard to just move around.”
A biography posted on the Masters website hints that he want to give it a try.
“Tiger Woods is making his 27th Masters start in 2026,” the site reads.
But not everyone is convinced that Woods will make the attempt
“Let’s pump the brake for just a moment, even with all that proof,” Charles Curtis noted on USA Today.
“Playing a round of indoor golf on a simulator isn’t like walking Augusta for 36 holes over two days. So let’s take it one event at a time and see how he looks on Tuesday and then hear from him if he’ll be teeing off in the major soon.”
