Tiger Woods is expected to return to action Feb 18 for a TGL match in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, marking his first appearance since his mother’s death on Feb 4, TGL announced via X on Feb 15.
The 15-time PGA major champion is set to play for his Jupiter Links Golf Club as they face New York Golf Club at SoFi Centre on Feb 18 night.
Woods had initially announced his intention to play in this week’s Genesis Invitational in San Diego despite his mother’s death, but bowed out on Feb 10
Woods’ mother, Kultida, was in attendance at her son’s last TGL match, when Jupiter Links GC came up with a 4-3 overtime victory over co-owner Rory McIlroy’s Boston Commons Golf on Jan 27. Woods gave his mom a quick message before the match.
“Hey Mom,” Woods said. “Not gonna suck tonight, OK?“
Woods, 49, has competed in his TGL but has not competed in an official PGA Tour event since The Open Championship in July. He played in the exhibition PNC Championship last December with his son, Charlie. REUTERS
