Golf legend Tiger Woods is taking a break from the sport, with no immediate plans to return to competition. Woods, who underwent a second back surgery in October, is still in the early stages of his recovery. He met with the media ahead of the Hero World Challenge, expressing his eagerness to get back on the course but acknowledging the slow progress of his rehabilitation. Woods, who hasn't played since his last TGL match in March, is focusing on his health and the process of healing. He's been working on his strength and rotational movements in the gym, but it's a gradual process. Woods, who had a previous back surgery in September 2024, is also dealing with a ruptured left Achilles tendon, which adds to his recovery challenges. The 50-year-old is eligible to compete on the senior circuit in 2026, but he hasn't confirmed any specific tournament plans. Woods is considering his options, including the PGA Tour Champions, but is taking a cautious approach, emphasizing the importance of a full recovery before committing to a schedule. His passion lies in playing golf, and he's eager to get back to the sport he loves.
