- Tiger Woods’ schedule has been cut back significantly.
- It is unclear when Woods will tee it up next, following another back surgery in October.
Tiger Woods is the biggest name in golf and one of the most famous athletes in any sport.
Whenever he tees it up, the tournament gets significantly more attention and even translates to more popularity in golf betting.
Woods has been on record saying he will no longer play a full season and will pick and choose his events.
When Will Tiger Woods Play Golf Next?
It is unclear when Woods will play golf next after needing another back surgery in October 2025. He posted to social media that he needed the surgery to replace a disk in his lower back that had caused pain and mobility issues.
Woods spoke ahead of his tournament, the Genesis Invitational, in February 2026 and did not offer a timeline for his return, though he did not rule out playing in the Masters in April.
He also did not rule out potentially playing on the Champions Tour, where he would be able to ride in a golf cart. At age 50, he’s eligible to play.
Woods missed the cut in three of the four majors he played in 2024. He did not play in any in 2025.
