Overview
- Woods did not play a PGA Tour event in 2025 after rupturing his left Achilles in March and undergoing a seventh back surgery in October to replace a lower-back disk.
- He has been cleared only to chip and putt and says any comeback plan will hinge on how practice and recovery progress.
- Turning 50 makes him eligible for PGA Tour Champions, a largely 54‑hole circuit that permits carts, though he has not said whether he will compete there.
- His career ledger stands at 15 major championships and 82 PGA Tour wins, with long‑standing records for consecutive cuts and weeks ranked No. 1.
- Even sidelined, he remains a central figure in golf through PGA Tour governance and TMRW/TGL ventures, and he led the PGA’s 2024 Player Impact Program.
