'Been Training Quite a Bit': Tiger Woods Drops Golf Return Update With Potential Appearance Just Weeks Away
Woods said he is training more and left his playing status unresolved as he eyes a comeback after injuries and a crash.
On Tuesday, Tiger Woods suggested he could return at the Hero World Challenge, the Bahamas tournament he hosts from December 3-6. Woods said he is "feeling better" and has been "training quite a bit."
Woods stepped away from golf following a March 2026 rollover crash on Jupiter Island and subsequent DUI arrest. He underwent rehab in Switzerland and accepted a five-year driving ban as part of a plea agreement.
Tournament organizers for the Hero have filled 17 of 20 spots, leaving three exemptions available. While Woods confirmed he will attend, he has not formally committed to playing in the tournament.
Beyond the Hero, Woods is expected to play for Jupiter Links Golf Club when the TGL season begins December 27. He may also compete alongside his son, Charlie Woods, at the PNC Championship in Orlando from December 17-20.
NBC golf analyst Kevin Kisner expects Woods to return to the 2027 Masters in April. These appearances would mark his first professional golf action since missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club.
