Tiger Woods will not be among his 144 players vying for the $25 million prize when the 2024 Players Championship begins on March 14th at his famous TPC Sawgrass . The PGA Tour opened its entire field for its flagship event on March 8, but Woods’ name was not featured prominently, leading many golf fans to assume they wouldn’t see the 15-time major champion play again until the Masters. I believed it.

Last December’s Hero Before he competed in the World Challenge, Tiger envisioned a scenario where he could play his once in a month. As everyone expected, he made his 2024 season debut on February 15th at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. This tournament is one he has hosted for many years for the TGR Foundation. Unfortunately, the 48-year-old was forced to withdraw after just 24 holes due to illness. Given the high profile of the tournament, the Players Championship was expected to be Tiger’s final preparation before his first major tournament of the year. However, given the upcoming PGA Tour schedule, it appears Woods will not play all the way to Augusta. Tiger Woods probably won’t play again before the Masters
