Tiger Woods remains golf’s biggest draw, but given his limited playing schedule, there are not so many opportunities to see the 15-time Major Champion in action.

Just five, thus far in 2024. And it went from bad to worse if we’re being honest…

After a ‘deflating’ start to the year that saw Tiger’s TGL indoor golf league venture with co-founder Rory McIlroy pushed back 12 months, Woods’ post-Nike era launched at the Genesis Invitational in February.

Donned in a new shade of Sun Day Red, Tiger managed just 24 holes at the Riviera Club before succumbing to the flu. It was his first competitive outing since the 2023 Masters in April, where he also withdrew before undergoing ankle fusion surgery.

Tiger Woods was forced to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational with flu.

The 48-year-old has been forced to revert to a part-time playing schedule since an almost fatal car crash in February 2021, revealing that he requires “a cold plunge, every day, religiously,” just to prepare his body for playing a once-monthly tournament schedule.

April saw a brief upturn in fortunes for Tiger who rolled back the years in challenging conditions with rounds of 73 and 72 to make a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at Augusta National.

Unfortunately, though, that was about as good as it got for the season. Rounds of 82 and 77 followed as he ran out of steam, finishing dead last on 16-over.

Subsequent missed cuts followed at the PGA Championship and US Open, prompting some to question whether the GOAT had passed his sell-by date on the game’s biggest stages.

Tiger Woods falls short at the 2024 US Open

Tiger insisted, however: “I’ll play as long as I can play and I feel like I can still win the event”.

And while a 14-over finish at Royal Troon for the Open Championship did little to justify those convictions, many of the world’s best were left looking rather silly in the South Ayrshire gusts that week.

That marked the last competitive tournament of 2024 for Tiger who was back on the operating table in September to undergo more surgery on his back in the hope of returning for more leisurely rounds later in the year.

And providing recovery goes to plan, 2025 looks set to be more plentiful for seeing Tiger in full swing having been awarded a ‘Lifetime Achievement Exemption’ by the PGA Tour, meaning he can tee it up at the eight limited-field Signature Events.

Tiger Woods has been granted a special exemption to play in all of the PGA Tour's Signature Events from 2025.

He was also quick to confirm following his Open exit that he will be returning to Royal Portrush in 2025.

Before all that though, January sees the delayed launch of the inaugural TGL season where Woods will lead out his Jupiter Links GC franchise against Los Angeles GC, as golf takes brave new footsteps into the virtual world of competitive golf simulation.

Here’s when and where we expect to see the GOAT in 2025…
