When the Hero World Challenge taking place December 5-8 in the Bahamas, the tournament’s host, Tiger Woods will not be on the course. Still recovering from his most recent back surgery in September, Woods had the option of joining the 20-player field in the exhibition event, but announced Monday that he would not.
“I’m disappointed that I can’t compete in the Hero World Challenge this year”Woods wrote on social media. After that, he announced the presence of Justin Thomas, Jason Day and Nick Dunlap in the tournament.
The fifteen-time major champion played in the tournament at Albany Golf Club last year and finished eighteenth out of twenty entrants. Woods’ sixth back surgery was performed to repair a pinched nerve in his lower back, about two months after his last appearance at the British Open.
“The surgery went well and I hope it will help relieve the spasms and back pain that I experienced for most of the 2024 season,” Woods said in a statement at the time. “I look forward to addressing this rehab and preparing to return to normal life activities, including golf,” he said.
But that’s the truth It’s unclear when Woods will compete again. He has played in the PNC Championship, a family team event, with his son Charlie every December for the past four years.
