Tiger Woods (50 years old) to return to competition this week
Two years after his last appearance at the US Open in June 2024, Tiger Woods (50 years old) will make his grand return to competition this week during the second round of the TGL indoor final. Following this, the legendary American champion could participate in the Masters.
The grand return of Tiger Woods (50 years old) is announced! Two years after his last competition appearance in June 2024 at a US Open where he did not make the cut, the legendary American champion is preparing to return to the greens. Today, the organizers of TGL Indoor (where Woods, along with Rory McIlroy, are also participating), this new indoor competition on simulators, confirmed the presence of the “Tiger.”
The golfer, who was on the brink of death in February 2021 after a serious car accident, will compete in the second round of the final, scheduled from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, French time. Woods will compete in this second round as part of the Jupiter Links GC team (alongside Max Homa, Kevin Kisner, and Tom Kim) after not participating in the first round, which was lost by his team.
Could Woods make a grand return to the Masters?
Without their emblematic and mythical captain, Jupiter Links narrowly lost (6-5) to the Los Angeles Golf Club team and their hero of the day Sahith Theegala, who secured victory over Kisner on the final hole of the 15th.
Naturally, this grand return of the former world number 1, who would be on track for a comeback if his team were to take revenge, could lead to another significant comeback, as the 90th edition of the Masters approaches (April 6 to 12), a tournament Woods has won five times, with his last title in Augusta (Georgia) dating back to 2019. Additionally, Woods was recently seen on the famous Georgia course. It may not be far-fetched to imagine the “Tiger” competing in this 90th Masters, just five months after his back surgery, especially since recent insider reports suggest Woods’ name is on the anticipated list of participants.
