Players: Tiger Woods missing from 2025 and delayed the return of PGA Tour to TPC Sawgrass

PGA Tour confirmed that Tiger Woods would not return to players after the former World No 1 was not appointed in the final field for the event next week at TPC Sawgrass.

The 49-year-old missed each of the last four editions due to injury, and Woods did not introduce himself at an official event because he missed Cut the Open last July and played a limited schedule in recent seasons.

Woods was supposed to make his latest return to Genesis Invitational last month, just to withdraw from the event after his mother’s cultivation death left him the previous week “just not ready” to compete.

The 15-plow main champion said on Tuesday that he would “start watching the schedule” when he “feels a little better”, and Woods has yet to explain his reason not to enter the players or give clear indications when he will return to the PGA tour.

Woods previously played every release of players from his debut in 1997 to 2007, claiming that he was a win with one goal in 2001, and then every year since 2009 on his victory with two goals in 2013. Since then, there has only been three starts, and in 2025, the release of the last of the five -year exemption for his 2019 master’s win.
