Tiger Woods will not participate in the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic. The event, scheduled from June 26-29 at Detroit Golf Club, features a packed PGA Tour field but does not include the 15-time Major winner. Woods has been sidelined for most of the 2025 season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon and has not made any confirmation to return to play.
Woods injured his left Achilles tendon in early March while training. The injury required surgical repair on March 11, performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken in West Palm Beach, Florida. The procedure was confirmed by Woods’ team and was described as successful. As of late June, there is no sign of Woods resuming golf activity or entering PGA Tour fields.
The Rocket Mortgage Classic field includes top-ranked players such as Collin Morikawa, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Max Homa. The tournament is known for its “Area 313” charitable challenge on holes 14 to 16 and is played at Detroit Golf Club, a par-72 course measuring nearly 7,000 yards. This year’s purse is approximately $9.6 million, with the winner set to receive about $1.728 million.

Tiger Woods has not competed in a PGA Tour event in 2025. Before his Achilles injury, Woods last appeared at the 2024 Open Championship, where he missed the cut. He missed the 2025 Masters and PGA Championship due to surgery and recovery.
Tiger Woods’ longtime friend Rory McIlroy expressed doubt earlier this year about the former continuing to play at a competitive level past age 50, especially following the string of injuries he’s faced since his 2021 car crash. ESPN analyst Andy North said Woods is still highly motivated, largely inspired by his son Charlie, but believes that the focus may eventually shift to the PGA Champions Tour once he turns 50.
Leaving aside the 15-time Major winner, let's learn who's appearing at this event.
