Tiger Woods<\/a> remained mum on his playing status for next month’s Masters, telling reporters after the TGL semifinals that his health continues to be up and down.<\/p>\n

“I said I’ve been working on it,” Woods said. “Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disk replacement is not a lot of fun. …<\/p>\n

“So as I said, I’ve had a lot of procedures prior to that, so the body doesn’t quite heal like it was when I was 24. Doesn’t quite bounce back. So I have good days when I can pretty much do anything, and other days where it’s hard to just to move around.”<\/p>\n

Woods, 50, underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October. He also ruptured his left Achilles last March.<\/p>\n

The 15-time major winner hasn’t played in an event since the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024. He has won the Masters five times, most recently in 2019.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Woods continues to be what he terms “the manager” of his TGL team, Jupiter Links. The squad snuck into the playoffs, then scored an upset of Boston Common<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Jupiter Links will play Los Angeles in the finals starting Monday.<\/p>\n

Woods was asked if he could play but indicated the team of Max Homa<\/a>, Tom Kim<\/a> and Akshay Bhatia<\/a> will be out there against L.A. as it has been all season.<\/p>\n

“Well, I think that I have been trying to play each and every one of these matches,” he said. “I’ve been trying to come back. But it just hasn’t worked out that way. … But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don’t want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 18, 2026, 01:04 AM ET Tiger Woods remained mum on his playing status for next month’s Masters,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-544505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
