His last competitive appearance came at TGL in February 2025, while his last appearance on the PGA Tour came 20 months ago.
Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club X account posted a photo of the 15-time major winner, accompanied with the caption: “I’m back.”
He has held a non-playing role with Jupiter Links GC throughout the 2026 TGL season – an indoor PGA Tour-backed set-up that uses a huge screen in a purpose-built venue in Florida.
Woods’ side beat Rory McIlroy’s Boston Common in last week’s semi-final to set up a meeting with Los Angeles Golf Club in the best-of-three final.
Los Angeles, featuring England’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, won the opening match, with Woods now replacing Kevin Kisner for Tuesday’s season finale.
