Tiger Woods Confirms Return Date After Seven Month Absence

The American sport star will return at the TGL matches after taking a lengthy period of time away from the sport due to the passing of his mother, Kultida.

On February 4th, Woods’ mother unfortunately passed just a week after she watched her son play in a competition that he founded in the early stages of 2025.

The 15-time major winner will return on February 18th at SoFi Center with the Jupiter Links, as they face the New York Golf Club.

There will be a series of matches to determine the winner, with three taking place on Presidents Day and a solo event during TGL’s traditional Tuesday outing.

Alongside this, Woods will be in action with Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim against Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick all in attendance.

Tiger Woods was meant to feature at the Genesis Invitational, as he is also a founder of the event but decided to withdraw due to the loss of his mother.

Woods commented on his reasoning about missing the Genesis Invitational and revealed that he was not ready to compete yet.

Woods said: “I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready. I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.

“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my Mom’s passing.”

The golfing icon last appeared at a PGA Tour start seven months ago, as he played in The Open Championship at Royal Troon in July 2024 and Woods failed to finish in a qualification place.
