Overview
- Asked at the Genesis Invitational if Augusta was off the table, Woods replied "No," without offering a timetable for competition.
- He said his Achilles is no longer an issue and he can hit full shots, though his back remains sore following an October 2025 disc replacement.
- Now 50 and Champions Tour–eligible, Woods reiterated he would consider using a cart on that circuit but not on the PGA Tour.
- Woods has not played since missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship and missed all of 2025 after Achilles surgery.
- As chair of the PGA Tour’s Future Competition Committee and a board member, he is deeply involved in tour reforms and has yet to decide on the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy.
