Is Tiger Woods playing in the Truist Championship 2025? Availability explored

Tiger Woods is not playing at the 2025 Truist Championship. The American golfer is eligible to play on the PGA Tour; however, he underwent surgery in March 2025 and has thus been on a break for a while.

He was expected to play at the Masters, but the 15-time Major winner skipped the event. He has yet to play his first official tournament of the season on the Tour. Woods last played on the PGA Tour at The Open Championship 2024, where he played two rounds of 79 and 77 but missed the cut.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Truist Championship, which was previously called the Wells Fargo Championship, is scheduled from May 8 to 11 and will feature a stellar field.

Rory McIlroy will return to defend his title and is also one of the top favorites to win the event with odds of +400 (via CBS Sports). Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg and Justin Thomas are also playing this week.
