Misryoum reports that Tiger Woods is unlikely to play majors this summer as he focuses on treatment and recovery.
Tiger Woods’ next competitive step is still a question mark, and Misryoum says the answer right now points away from the fairway.
Woods missed The Masters after an arrest on suspicion of DUI in Florida. and the usual summer spotlight for major championships is now set for other players.. With three majors scheduled in the coming months. fans have been wondering whether the 15-time champion will be there to defend. but Misryoum indicates that a return this summer does not appear likely.
Misryoum notes that the PGA Championship is later this month, followed by the U.S. Open in June and the Open Championship in July. Yet current signals suggest Woods is not planning a near-term major comeback.
In this context, the most important detail is timing, not headlines: recovery is its own kind of schedule, and it changes everything else around it.
Misryoum also reports that USGA chief Mike Whan said he’d be very surprised if Woods shows up for a major this summer. He framed it as more than a golf storyline, emphasizing that what Woods is dealing with is bigger than any single event.
That approach aligns with what Woods has said in recent statements. Misryoum reports that he announced plans to go overseas for treatment, describing the seriousness of his situation and saying he would step away for a period of time to prioritize his health and focus on lasting recovery.
For fans, it’s a difficult pause, but Misryoum highlights a reality many athletes understand: the comeback only matters if it is sustainable.
Even so, the door for future participation is not being slammed shut. Misryoum reports that Whan said it would be great if Woods ends up competing in USGA championships someday, while also making clear that, based on what’s known now, this summer is not the moment.
At the end of the day, Misryoum’s takeaway is straightforward: the emphasis is on well-being first. If Woods returns, it will likely be on a timeline measured in recovery, not in tournament calendars.
