Overview
- Late May reports confirm Woods did not submit an entry for the 2026 Open and is not exempt for the U.S. Open, which means he will miss all four major championships this year.
- Woods has been receiving treatment in Zurich and has traveled between Switzerland and Florida for personal and legal matters while remaining out of competitive play.
- The March 27 single-vehicle rollover in Jupiter Island led to a DUI arrest; Woods has pleaded not guilty, demanded a jury trial, and a judge granted prosecutors private access to his prescription records.
- A Baycurrent Classic promotional graphic showing Woods for the October FedEx Cup event prompted return speculation, but tournament organizers have not confirmed his participation and his schedule remains unannounced.
- Woods still holds lifetime or long-term exemptions for the Masters, PGA Championship and The Open until age 60, but the loss of U.S. Open eligibility and the ongoing legal and medical processes leave his competitive future unclear.
