Tiger Woods unsure when he will compete on PGA Tour after latest back procedure: 'I'm still not there'

3 December 2024 at 13:54

Golf legend Tiger Woods has a goal of competing on the PGA Tour at least once a month, but he admitted Tuesday at the Hero World Challenge he’s not close to doing so.Β 

Woods spoke with reporters prior to the event in the Bahamas, where he said he has a "long way to go" before he returns to the tour after another back surgery.Β 

Woods underwent microdecompression surgery, which he hopes can help him get strong enough to play on the PGA Tour at least once a month.Β

Woods said he was hurting badly toward the end of this year’s season, to the point he knew he needed to do something to help himself get back to normal.

"I didn’t think my back was going to go like it did this year," he said, via Yahoo Sports. "It was quite painful throughout the end of the year and, hence, I had another procedure done to it to alleviate the pain I had going down my leg.Β 

TIGER WOODS ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT PLAY IN TOURNAMENT HE HOSTS ANNUALLY

"So, whether my commitment going forward is once a month, yeah, I could say that all over again, but I truly don’t know."

Woods added that, for now, continuing to rehab and get stronger is the top priority. Once he feels like he can start swinging a golf club up to his standards, he will consider playing again.Β 

The Tiger Woods Foundation benefits from the Hero World Challenge, which is why the 15-time major winner is in the Bahamas despite announcing last week he wouldn’t be participating in the field.Β 

"I’m still not there," Woods said of being "tournament sharp." "And these are 20 of the best players in the world, and I’m not sharp enough to compete against them at this level."

Woods did battle through injury, but he was able to accomplish a small milestone this year, competing in all four majors for the first time since 2020. He finished 60th at the Masters, though he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open.Β 

Other than those events, Woods competed in the Genesis Invitational in February, but he withdrew from the tournament midway through his second round.Β 

Woods will turn 49 at the end of this month, but he told reporters "the fire still burns to compete."

Golf fans will wait patiently, hoping Woods can get back on the course next year.

Tiger Woods announces he will not play in tournament he hosts annually

26 November 2024 at 18:05

The new golf season is upon us, and already it isn't the best start for Tiger Woods.

The 48-year-old announced Monday he will not be playing in the Hero World Challenge, which he hosts every year, after yet another back surgery in September.

Woods wrote on X, though, that he would fulfill his hosting duties at the Bahamas tournament.

Missing the event won't harm Woods in the standings. The tournament is considered an unofficial event and does not offer FedEx Cup points or prize money.

The 2024 season was a nightmare for Woods. He played in five tournaments, including all four majors, yet made the cut in just two of them. He missed the cut in the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship, while finishing in last at the Masters (not including those who missed the cut or withdrew).

Since the 2022 Masters, Woods has competed in just 10 events. The only non-major he has played in has been the Genesis Invitational, which he hosts at Riviera. He withdrew from that tournament this year.

WOMAN IN COMA AFTER SAVING MAJOR CHAMPION'S SON FROM RIP CURRENT

It's been a tough stretch for Woods, who, in 14 majors since winning the green jacket in 2019, has failed to muster a top 20 finish. It’s his longest such streak since failing to finish in the top 20 in the first six majors of his career in 1995 and 1996. In his last 26 majors, he has four top 20 finishes.

After missing the cut at Royal Troon, it marked the second time Woods had ever missed three consecutive major cuts. In his last 36 majors, he has missed 13 cuts with just six top 10 finishes and another 13 finishes outside the top 20 and two withdrawals.

Woods is tied with Sam Snead for the most wins in tour history with 82. His 15 majors rank second behind Jack Nicklaus' 18. Woods turns 49 next month.
