Story highlights

Tiger Woods makes his competitive return today, March 24, in the TGL Finals for Jupiter Links. Following a successful disc replacement surgery, the 15-time major champion tests his fitness in the indoor league just 16 days before the 2026 Masters at Augusta National.

Golf king Tiger Woods will make a tentative return to competitive action when he plays on Tuesday (Mar 24) in the TGL golf league, weeks after the 15-time major champion said that the Masters in April was not "off the table". The 50-year-old underwent disc replacement surgery in October, the latest in a series of operations and injuries that have kept the American great sidelined from top-level competition since the 2024 British Open.

Woods will play for Jupiter Links in the finals of the TGL, said the indoor simulator league, which combines technology with players from the PGA Tour.

Speaking last month, he refused to rule out playing at the Masters. Woods said he had progressed from chipping and putting practice to hitting full shots.

"I keep working on it, trying to get stronger, trying to get more endurance in this body and trying to get it at a level at which I can play at the highest level again," he said.
