Tiger Woods has just dropped his biggest hint yet that he will play at The Masters

Tiger Woods is set to make his long-awaited return to golf at TGL, shortly before The Masters gets underway at Augusta National.

Various injuries have ruled Woods out of competitive action since TGL in February 2025, while he last played on the PGA Tour 20 months ago.

The 15-time major champion has since undergone back and Achilles surgeries, keeping the legendary figure away from the course.

Woods has been able to hold a non-playing role with Jupiter Links GC this season, but he’ll now return to a playing role in its final stages.

While he won’t be looking beyond that appearance at Florida’s SoFi Center, it does suggest the possibility of him taking on The Masters.

Tiger Woods drops Masters hint with TGL return

Woods returning to action is a major boost, both for himself and for TGL, which is now reaching its conclusion.

But arguably more positive is the timing of his comeback, with The Masters returning to the calendar early next month.

Woods is not confirmed for the first major of the season, but he has now dropped a strong hint that he’ll be fit to take on the tournament.

TGL is, of course, much less demanding than a single round at Augusta, but his latest decision should be viewed as a real positive.

Woods boasts a simply phenomenal record at The Masters, where he started out by earning Low Amateur honors on his debut in 1995.

Since then the golfing icon has clinched a stunning five titles, claiming the green jacket in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2019.

Only fellow legend Jack Nicklaus (six) has secured more wins at the major, while he is also the only man ahead of Woods for major wins.

Nicklaus has 18, three more than Woods, who quite simply cannot be ruled out of further success despite his injury issues and his age.

Woods, who turned 50 in December, would be making his 27th start at The Masters should he take to Augusta next month.
