\t\t\t\t\"Tiger\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods won’t be returning to a golf course anytime soon, but we might know the tournament he’s targeting to finally tee it up once again.<\/p>\n

At this point, there\u2019s no reason to believe Tiger Woods<\/a> is returning to play golf<\/a> anytime soon, but that hasn\u2019t stopped fans from speculating.<\/p>\n

While Woods has plenty of other issues to deal with at the moment, the question on a lot of fans\u2019 minds is: When will Tiger Woods play golf again? The best answer, aside from \u201cwho knows,\u201d might be: October.<\/p>\n

The Baycurrent Classic unveiled a promotional poster on May 26 for its fall tournament, and Woods was one of four golfers featured on the social media post.<\/p>\n

The tournament is set for Oct. 8-11 in Japan at Yokohama Country Club in Japan, which means there\u2019s a lot that can change in Woods\u2019 life \u2014 for better or worse \u2014 between now and then. And there\u2019s certainly no guarantee he\u2019s teeing it up when the Baycurrent kicks off.<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods\u2019 Return to Golf Very Much in Jeopardy<\/p>\n

Of course, Woods has much bigger things to worry about right now. The 15-time major winner reportedly returned to Switzerland recently, presumably to resume treatment after his recent DUI arrest in Florida. Jupiter, Fla., authorities arrested Woods<\/a> on March 27.<\/p>\n

Woods pleaded not guilty to the charges, but according to one report, the 50-year-old was \u201cembarrassed and ashamed\u201d following the arrest<\/a>, his second for DUI charges.<\/p>\n

Following the arrest, Woods revealed he\u2019d be \u201cstepping away for a period of time,\u201d reportedly heading to Switzerland for treatment. Woods\u2019 use of prescription medicine<\/a> has been well documented, especially in recent years.<\/p>\n

Despite his problems off the course, Woods has reportedly insisted he plans on returning<\/a> to golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cGolf is very much on Tiger\u2019s mind and will be in coming months as he gets back to it here in whatever ways he can,\u201d a golf source told People in May.<\/p>\n

Any Potential Tiger Woods Return Won\u2019t Come at 2026 Majors<\/p>\n

Woods, however, apparently won\u2019t play in any of the 2026 majors. He already missed the Masters and PGA Championship, and he won\u2019t be in the field for the U.S. Open next month at Shinnecock Hills. According to Sports Illustrated, Woods will also miss The Open Championship, having failed to enter the tournament set for mid-July at Royal Birkdale.<\/p>\n

That means Woods will go two consecutive seasons without playing a major after missing the entire 2025 run while rehabbing an Achilles injury. In fact, Woods hasn\u2019t played a professional tournament since the 2024 Open, where he missed the cut after shooting 14-over through two rounds. The only cut he\u2019s made in two years came at the 2024 Masters, where he grinded to make the cut before going 82-77 on the weekend to finish in 60th place.<\/p>\n
