Is Tiger Woods playing in the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush in the final major of the year? Golf fans are wondering whether the 15-time major champion will feature at The Open 2025 after his latest injury setback.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woods has recently undergone surgery on a ruptured Achilles, casting serious doubt on his chances of featuring at Royal Portrush in the fourth and final major championship of the year.<\/p>\n

Is Tiger Woods Playing At The Open 2025?<\/h2>\n

With the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush<\/a> almost upon us, golf fans are getting excited. The Open 2025 takes centre-stage in the fourth and final major championship of the year in mid-July, with all of the world’s best golfers set to compete for major glory come Sunday, 20th July.<\/p>\n

This includes the likes of three-time major champion Scottie Scheffler, defending Open champion Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau and of course Rory McIlroy who recently completed the career Grand Slam at The Masters<\/a> at Augusta this year.<\/p>\n

One man who definitely won’t be teeing it up at the 153rd Open Championship is Tiger Woods. The 15-time major champion is yet to feature on the PGA Tour this season, and is now set to miss the last major of the year too following his latest injury setback.<\/p>\n

This comes as no surprise after the American golf star has missed The Masters, PGA Championship and the US Open too, meaning he is yet to compete in a major tournament this calendar year. It is now official that Wood won’t feature in any majors at all in 2025.<\/p>\n

There was some talk that Woods might even play at The Players Championship, but that wasn’t the case either. Now, it looks like the five-times Masters champion and three-time Claret Jug winner could be on the sidelines for even longer after rupturing his Achilles.<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods Injury Update Following Ruptured Achilles<\/h2>\n

Although Tiger Woods has been recovering from his Achilles injury for around four months now, he remains side-lined for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on social media back in March, Woods, who reached billionaire status thanks to his incredible net worth<\/a>, said:<\/p>\n

“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured.<\/em><\/p>\n

“This morning, Dr Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support,”<\/em> the statement concluded.<\/p>\n
