The 15-time major champion hasn’t been very active on the PGA Tour in recent years. Over the last few seasons, he has sat out due to various injury concerns. Last year as well, he played just five official events, including four majors. He missed the cut in three of them and made the cut only at the Masters, while withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational in 2024.

Tiger Woods was last seen in action at the PNC Championship 2024 alongside his son Charlie Woods, where the duo finished runner-up.
