Overview
- Woods, who confirmed late Monday he will play Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, ends a 13‑month competitive layoff by joining Jupiter Links for Match 2.
- Los Angeles Golf Club leads the best‑of‑three SoFi Cup finals 1–0 after a 6–5 win, and a Jupiter Links victory would trigger an immediate Match 3 at SoFi Center.
- He replaces Kevin Kisner to team with Max Homa and Tom Kim against Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala and Tommy Fleetwood, with regular alternate Akshay Bhatia unavailable due to the Hero Indian Open in New Delhi.
- The 50‑year‑old has not played since the 2024 Open at Royal Troon after a left Achilles rupture in March 2025 and an L4‑L5 disc replacement in October 2025, leaving any Masters start this April unconfirmed.
- TGL is a tech‑aided indoor league co‑founded by Woods that uses simulators and a putting surface, so this appearance is a limited gauge of his ability to walk four rounds at Augusta as coverage notes renewed Masters chatter and a reported $9 million title prize.
