Tiger Woods Turns 50 With Unmatched Record and Uncertain Playing Future

The milestone spotlights a singular legacy defined by dominance, injuries, new off-course influence.

Overview

  • Woods reaches 50 with 82 PGA Tour wins and 15 majors, including a career Grand Slam achieved by age 24.
  • He did not play a tournament in 2025 after a March rupture of his left Achilles and a seventh back surgery in September, leaving his return timeline unresolved.
  • His recent competitive stretch includes 11 starts over five seasons with only four finishes completed and a Masters record of 24 consecutive cuts set in 2024.
  • He is now eligible for PGA Tour Champions competition at age 50, with future playing plans yet to be detailed.
  • Off the course, he serves on the PGA Tour policy board and leads the Future Competition Committee, helped launch TGL, and is estimated by Sportico to have earned about $2 billion over his career, largely from endorsements.
