Tiger Woods is set to miss the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, the next stop on the PGA Tour. The veteran golfer has not recovered from his recent surgery and will remain out of action.
The 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge will be played from Thursday, May 22, to Sunday, May 25, at the historic Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. The event will miss many notable faces, but 20 of the top-50 ranked players will still be in action.
Earlier this year, Woods was ramping up his practice ahead of the season but ruptured his Achilles. As a result, he had to undergo immediate surgery and subsequently pulled out of the Augusta National event.

"As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured," he wrote on X. "This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon. 'The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,' added Dr. Stucken.
"I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support," he added.
The 15-time major champion has yet to recover completely, and there was no update regarding his return.
Over the last few years, Woods hasn’t been very active on the PGA Tour, mainly due to recurring injuries. Last season, he played only five events, including four majors. He was last seen competing at the PNC Championship 2024, where he and his son Charlie Woods finished as runners-up.
How did Tiger Woods perform in his last official start?
Tiger Woods' last official start was at the 2024 Open Championship, where he carded 79 and 77 to finish at 14-over and miss the cut. This marked his third straight missed cut at major championships.
The 14-over was Woods' worst score to par in 36 holes at the Open Championship. It was also his second-worst score to par after two rounds in a major.
The 49-year-old golfer has missed the weekend or withdrawn in eight of his past nine majors. He hasn’t recorded a top-ten finish in a major since winning the Masters in 2019. Tiger Woods is still searching for his first win in nearly five years.
