Well \u2026 sort of. The 15-time major winner will tee it up for his Jupiter Links Golf Club on the final night of the TGL indoor golf league on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s a one-off appearance to give Woods a taste of competition and juice TGL\u2019s ratings. Perhaps it\u2019s a foreshadowing of something more, with the Masters set to start in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve been trying to come back. But it just hasn&#8217;t worked out that way,\u201d Woods said last week. \u201cI&#8217;ve had a bad run of injuries last year. I think it&#8217;s been a year and a few days since I blew out my Achilles. And so then I&#8217;ve had two back operations. So it&#8217;s been a little rough go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Woods hasn\u2019t played a competitive round of golf on the PGA Tour since the 2024 Open Championship some 20 months ago, and hasn\u2019t played in TGL in more than a year. He\u2019s undergone an array of surgeries in his career, most recently on his back in October, that have slowed his return to outdoor golf.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"link \" href=\"http:\/\/yahoofantasy.com\/baseball\" data-i13n=\"slk:Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season;cpos:1;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season;slk:Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Draft your Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team for the 2026 MLB Season<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Disc replacement is not a lot of fun,\u201d Woods added. \u201cThe body doesn&#8217;t quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn&#8217;t quite bounce back. So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it&#8217;s hard to just to move around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all due respect to the TGL, the golf world\u2019s focus is on the Masters, which begins two weeks from Thursday. Woods, a five-time Masters champion, hasn\u2019t said whether he\u2019s competing at Augusta National yet. The Masters remains the only major in which Woods has even made a cut since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Outdoor golf will obviously pose far more of a challenge to Woods than TGL, where he only needs to walk a few yards from the tee box and simulator screen to the real-world green on every hole. The hills of Augusta National in particular are likely to pose a challenge to Woods\u2019 repaired back and Achilles, should he opt to play.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the TGL, Woods is coming in at the last possible moment. Jupiter Links is down one match in the best-of-three championship series against L.A. Golf Club. The Jupiter Links Golf Club team includes Woods, Max Homa and Tom Kim; Woods will take Kevin Kisner\u2019s spot. LAGC\u2019s team includes Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood and Sahith Theegala.<\/p>\n<p>Woods\u2019 return begins at 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN. If Jupiter Links wins that match, the final winner-take-all match will start at 9 p.m. For golf fans, Woods just made it a must-watch event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Woods is back!
