Woods will be looking to make the cut at the Masters for the 24th consecutive time, which would be a new record. He is currently tied with Gary Player and Fred Couples at 23 made cuts.

Woods made it to the third round at the 2023 Masters but decided to withdraw after play was suspended due to heavy rain on Saturday. Woods explained that he was dealing with a plantar fasciitis injury in his foot and that he was unable to walk properly.

After last year’s Masters, Woods’ only other PGA Tour appearance was the Genesis Invitational in February. He had to withdraw once again, this time citing lower back tightness and flu as the reasons.

Tiger Woods was involved in a car crash in February 2021 and sustained multiple leg injuries that required surgery. This was followed by another surgery in April 2023 to address lingering ankle issues. Since the crash, Woods made six starts and only finished two tournaments.

This will be the first time Woods competes since he underwent an ankle surgery in spring. 

Woods last played at the 2023 Masters, where he made the cut for a record-tying 23rd consecutive time. However, he was forced to retire due to issues with his ankle, which were a result of his car accident in 2021, before completing the third round.

Speaking with The Associated Press earlier this week, Wood said that the surgery was successful and that his ankle is fully healthy. But, he also explained that there are some other issues he is dealing with.

“My ankle is fine,” Woods said. “When they fused my ankle, I have absolutely zero issues whatsoever. The pain is completely gone. It’s the other areas that have been compensated for.”

The car accident and the resulting health issues have limited Woods to only five tournament appearances since February 2021. He finished 47th at the 2022 Masters and competed at the 2022 PGA Championship but ended up withdrawing after the third round. He also played at the 2022 Open Championship but ended up being cut.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Woods shared that the procedure addressed the consequences of the injuries he suffered in a car crash he had in early 2021. The surgery was determined as “successful,” and the 47-year-old is currently recovering and “looks forward to beginning his rehabilitation.”

When reached out to by The Associated Press, Wood’s agent Mark Steinberg said that there is currently “no timetable” on Woods’ return to golf.

“The first goal is to recover and lead a much more enjoyable day-to-day life,” Steinberg added.

Tiger Woods played in the 2023 Masters earlier this month, making the cut for the 23rd straight time in his career and tying the all-time record for most consecutive cuts made. He would go on to retire from the event in the third round after leg pain made it hard for him to move through the first eight holes.

Woods previously intended to appear in all four major events this year, but that won’t be the case now. PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and The Open are all taking place in the next three months, and considering the usual recovery time for the surgery Woods had, he won’t recover in time to play at any of them.

Woods wrote on Twitter that he’s looking forward to playing at the tournament while adding that he “missed going out and competing with the guys and can’t wait to get back out there.”

Memorial Tournament will be Woods’ first tournament since February and the final round of the Genesis Invitational. He then missed WGC Mexico Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the Players Championship due to back stiffness before the PGA Tour was suspended.

Tiger Woods previously announced that he recovered from knee surgery he underwent in August and will be fit enough to defend his Masters win from 2019. Masters will be scheduled to take place in April but was postponed until November due to coronavirus pandemic.

PGA Championship and U.S. Open were also rescheduled and will now take place in August and September respectively. The Open Championship, on the other hand, has canceled its 2020 edition.

Luckily for Woods, however, the procedure shouldn’t sideline him for an extended period of time, and he is expected to make a full recovery in time for PGA Tour tournament in Japan in October.

“I expect Tiger to make a full recovery. We did what was needed, and also examined the entire knee. There were no additional problems,” said Dr. Vern Cooley, who performed the procedure, in a statement shared on Wood’s official Twitter profile.

After struggling with back injuries for the past several years, Tiger Woods made a big comeback in 2019 when he won Masters Tournament. This was his first majors win in 11 years. Although it looked like he left injuries behind at the time, Woods soon found himself facing health issues again.

Woods dealt with back stiffness in recent months while suffering a neck strain that saw him being forced to miss the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He also pulled out of Northern Trust due to oblique strain.

Woods finished the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club with a -13 score, winning the tournament for the fifth time in his career.

It was his first win at Augusta since 2005, 14 years ago.

Woods, who is currently ranked 12th in the PGA Tour rankings, captured a major tournament win for the first time since 2008.

After emerging as one of the top players in the history of golf in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Woods stormed his way to 14 major tournament wins.

However, in the late 2000s, injury and personal scandal began to take a toll on Woods and his career.

Woods appeared finished for the better part of this decade after undergoing four back surgeries and going to jail after being arrested for a DUI.

However, after some modest success in smaller tournaments and regained strength helped him start to regain his form, Woods finally capped a comeback for the ages on Sunday.

At 43 years old, he became the second-oldest player to win the Masters.

The Green Jacket is finally his again, 14 years later.

Jordan’s wealth rose to $1.7 billion from last year’s $1.4 billion thanks to the growing value of his NBA franchise the Charlotte Hornets. Woods was tied at the ninth position with writer James Patterson for a networth of $800 million.

In addition to his 90% stake in the Hornets that contributed $800 million to his net worth, Jordan’s other source of income is his Nike deals for Air Jordans. The golfer, on the other hand, is poised to become a billionaire in 2019 should he continue with his comeback in golf.

After a series of injuries, Woods came back to golf in late 2017 and ended up being sixth at the 2018 PGA Open Championship. He won the Tour Championship and emerged as the runner-up of the Brooks Koepka.

Despite the comeback so far, Woods net worth hasn’t increased by much this year. He was valued at $750 million in 2017. He only made $5.48 million in Tour earnings this year, meaning his main source of income are sponsorships and course design fees.

The Yanks opened the tournament by nearly sweeping all points in the Fourballs session with a 3-1 win. In the afternoon, Europe turned the tide by sweeping all points to lead the afternoon 4-0. It was the first time the US trailed 4-0 in the prestigious competition since 1989.

There is a long way to go before the competition ends but Europe’s splendid start shows their dominance on home soil. Europe’s Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari did a great job as a pair despite lacking in-depth experience in the Ryder Cup. The Brit was a rookie in the competition while the Italian had never picked a point in the competition before.

“We didn’t come here to win the foursomes,” Molinari said. “We came here to win something else.”

The duo’s single point set the tone for the afternoon session in which Europe swept team USA 4-0. With their momentum and fondness, Fleetwood and Molinari will likely play together again in day 2 of the competition.

The Englishman won the French Open at the same grounds last year and performed exemplary on Friday. Brit’s Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter had a rough start both in the morning and afternoon session. But with the help of Fleetwood and Molinari were able to whitewash the USA.

The Ryder Cup continues on Saturday with Fourballs in the morning and Foursomes in the afternoon.

The 42-year-old golfer finished with 1-over-par 71, staying two shots over Billy Horschel.

“I was pretty emotional when Rory [McIlroy] was tapping out, he was finishing out,” said Woods after the win. “I looked around, and the tournament was over because I’d already put the bunker shot on the green, and I’d won 80. 80 is a big number. I’ve been sitting on 79 for about five years now, and to get 80 is a pretty damned good feeling.”

This win represents a significant feat for Tiger Woods and comes a year since he was questioning his physical health and didn’t know whether he will be able to return to golf at all.

Fast forward 12 months and Woods managed to climb from No. 1,199th to No. 13 in the world. He recorded seven top-10 finishes in 2018 and is now only two wins behind Sam Snead, who is all-time PGA Tour leader in victories. But Woods doesn’t intend to stop here.

“I appreciate it a little bit more than I did because I don’t take it for granted that I’m going to have another decade, two decades in my future of playing golf at this level,” – he added. “It means a lot more to me now in that sense because I didn’t know if I’d ever be out here playing again, doing this again.”

Shooting 29 strokes in his first nine holes, it was Woods best performance in more than 5 years. But as good as his performance was, Woods could only tie the leaderboard with North Ireland’s Rory McIlroy. The American shot 62 times in total, the same number as the 29-year-old from the UK.

“You definitely could do it today. The fairways are ample wide and the greens are soft,” Woods admitted. “All the positives right now. We’re driving it down there anywhere between 310 and 340 so it’s really not that long a golf course right not.”

McIlroy appeared as though he could’ve outperformed the 42-year-old American. He birdied 3 out of 4 and initiated a 6-birdies streak, all within 10 feet.  But that was also not enough to give him the lead.

The North Irish is still the favorite to win this year’s championships. But with Wood’s performance on Thursday, it won’t be easy.

After coming back from a spinal surgery in 2017, Woods have ranked up from 656 in 2017 to 26 this year. Last month, he emerged the runners-up of the PGA Championship.

To prepare for the next stage of the tournament, the 42-year-old claims he will use an old putter that helped win 13 of 14 major titles more than ten years ago.

“I’ve hit hundreds of millions of putts with that thing,” Woods said “I’ve been monkeying around with it at home in the backyard through the summer. It just never felt right, but it feels good now.”
