Tiger Woods announced he is "feeling better" and confirmed his attendance at the upcoming Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas next month. This marks Woods' first public health update since his DUI arrest in March.
Woods has not competed in a PGA Tour event since the Open in July 2024, largely due to injuries and subsequent surgeries. He confirmed his presence at the Hero World Challenge, an event he hosts, during an interview with SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio.
"I will be at Hero. I'm there either way, so I'll see you there," Woods stated, adding that he has been training "quite a bit."
Following his DUI arrest in March, where he was found asleep at the wheel of his SUV after a single-car crash, Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He subsequently underwent treatment in Switzerland.
Beyond the Hero World Challenge, which begins on December 3, Woods may also participate in the PNC Championship from December 17-20 alongside his son Charlie. The PNC Championship, a two-person scramble, permits the use of golf carts. Reports also suggest Woods is expected to play for his TGL team, Jupiter Links Golf Club, which is slated for the league's opening day on December 27.
