having an operation in October<\/a> to replace a disc in his back.<\/p>\nWoods’ previous appearance was also in TGL – an indoor team league his company co-founded – in February 2025.<\/p>\n
His Jupiter Links team lost 9-2 against Los Angeles Golf Club in his return to competitive action.<\/p>\n
The 15-time major-winner looked in good physical shape as he hit a couple of drives more than 300 yards and he said playing in the Masters will depend on how his body recovers. <\/p>\n
The tournament, which Woods has won five times, begins on 9 April at Augusta National.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been trying, this body doesn’t recover like it did when I was 24, 25,” said Woods.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t mean I’m not trying; I’ve been trying for a while. I’ve had a couple of bad injuries last year that I’ve had to fight through and has taken some time. I keep trying – I want to play.<\/p>\n
“I’ve loved the Masters tournament, I’ve loved being there since I was 19 years old, so it’s meant a lot to me and my family over the years and I’m going to be there either way.”<\/p>\n
Woods has held a non-playing role with Jupiter Links GC throughout the 2026 TGL season, the PGA Tour-backed league that uses a huge screen in a purpose-built venue in Florida.<\/p>\n
Woods’ side beat Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common in last week’s semi-final to set up a meeting with Los Angeles in the best-of-three final.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles, featuring England’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, won the opening match, before Woods replaced Kevin Kisner for Tuesday’s season finale.<\/p>\n
Jupiter Links, which also has Max Homa and Tom Kim in the team, went 2-0 up in the second game of the finals but Woods missed a three-foot putt on the seventh hole and the momentum switched to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
They made three eagles in a row before Jupiter conceded the match and the tournament on the 10th hole.<\/p>\n
“It was fine physically,” added Woods.<\/p>\n
“We got our ass kicked at the end. Three eagles in a row, we didn’t respond. I missed a short one to kind of get it started and give them momentum and we never got it back.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
