It remains unclear whether Woods is preparing for a comeback.<\/p>\n
He has not played competitively since 2024 after rupturing an Achilles tendon in March 2025 and having back surgery last October. <\/p>\n
After March’s road accident – his second arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence – Woods said he was “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health”.<\/p>\n
It was the latest in a string of incidents that have littered Woods’ recent years.<\/p>\n
His marriage ended – as did lucrative sponsorship deals – after he struck a fire hydrant, a tree and several hedges outside his home in a 2009 incident, sparking accusations of extra-marital affairs.<\/p>\n
In 2017, he was sentenced to a year’s probation after pleading guilty to reckless driving. That came after police officers found Woods slumped at the wheel of his car near his home. <\/p>\n
In 2021, Woods survived a serious accident which left him with extensive injuries and he played only a limited schedule since then. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It remains unclear whether Woods is preparing for a comeback.
