Overview
- Tiger Woods remains listed in the Masters field with no confirmed competitive start, leaving his participation unannounced less than a month out.
- His Gulfstream jet was spotted in Augusta on March 14, a visit that could signal a scouting trip or relate to his son’s Sage Valley event or TGR Design work, with no purpose confirmed.
- Rory McIlroy said he does not expect Woods to appear in this week’s TGL playoff match for Jupiter Links, tempering hopes of a simulator-league tune-up.
- Woods skipped the PGA Tour Champions Cologuard Classic, making the Hoag Classic (March 22–29) his lone senior-circuit option to prepare while using a cart.
- He continues recovering from March 2025 Achilles surgery and an October 10, 2025 L4–L5 disc replacement; he has described lingering soreness, said he’s hitting full shots inconsistently, and offered no timetable as Champions Tour officials stress prioritizing his health.
