**Tiger Woods has not competed in any official PGA Tour event since missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship, following a ruptured Achilles tendon in March 2025 and a seventh back surgery (disc replacement) in October 2025.** At age 50, his recovery has been complicated by a March 2026 car accident that led to DUI charges, a subsequent plea deal, and an indefinite step-away for inpatient treatment and rehab. As of mid-September 2026, Woods has been seen hitting balls on the range and stated he can “hit pretty much anything,” yet he has made no confirmed entries or commitments to PGA Tour events for the remainder of 2026. Speculation centers on possible non-Tour appearances such as the December PNC Championship (a father-son event) or the unofficial Hero World Challenge he hosts, but these do not count toward the market. His extensive surgical history, recent health focus, and absence from the 2026 schedule underpin the market’s strong consensus that he will not play a PGA Tour tournament this year.
