Tiger Woods returns to Golf on Tuesday when he ties it up in the indoor TGL League.
The league confirmed that Woods is playing with the Jupiter links when they take on the New York Golf Club.
Woods, 49, initially planned to compete in Genesis Invitational, but he retired after saying he was still “treating” his mother’s death.

Woods revealed last week that his mother, Kuldida, had died at 78 years old.
“I was planning to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” Woods said in a statement. “I did my best to prepare, knowing that it was what my mother would have wanted, but I still treat her loss.
“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later this week and appreciate the continued kindness since my mother’s passing.”
Genesis Invitational organizers paid tribute to her as the par-4 seventh hole has a white flag.

The white flag is free of wording in a nod to Tiger’s deceased mother and her faith.
Kuldida practiced Buddhism, according to a social media post from PGA Tour. Buddhists keep the color white and # 7 with high respect.
It is assumed that White represents information, knowledge and purity. Kuldida was born in Thailand, and the country’s flag has a pair of white stripes that are believed to symbolize Buddhism.
Tiger has not participated in a tournament since the British Open in July 2024.

It would have been the first time Woods is competing as he had a microdisectomy in September to relieve pain in his legs. It was the sixth operation he has undergone on the crucifix.
The last time Woods played four rounds was on last year’s Masters when he broke the tournament record for most cuts made on the prestigious major with his 24 -consecutive clip.
The 15-time Master has been competing in the TGL league since it debuted on January 7, 2025.
