Tiger Woods' prolonged absence from PGA Tour events stems from ongoing recovery challenges after disc replacement surgery in late 2025, compounded by a March 2026 rollover car accident that prompted him to step away from professional golf entirely for treatment and health focus. He has not entered or competed in any official PGA Tour stroke-play events in 2026, missing all four major championships—including the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and Open Championship—despite limited TGL league appearances earlier in the year. Official reports and entry deadlines confirm this pattern through mid-August, reflecting persistent pain management issues and a cautious approach to competitive return at age 50. While the 96.4% implied probability for "No" aligns with this trajectory, a late-season comeback in fall events remains theoretically possible if rehabilitation accelerates and he secures a sponsor exemption or medical clearance.
