Tiger Woods declined to confirm if he'll compete in next month's Masters, citing ongoing health issues following multiple procedures including lumbar disk replacement surgery last October. The 50-year-old, who hasn't played since the 2024 Open Championship, stated his condition remains unpredictable, fluctuating between 'good days' and days where movement is difficult. 'Disk replacement is not a lot of fun,' Woods admitted, noting his body doesn't heal as quickly as it did at 24. This uncertainty comes as his TGL team, Jupiter Links, secured a playoff spot and advanced to the finals against Los Angeles, set to begin Monday.

While Woods remains the team's manager, he emphasized his focus is on supporting the squad of Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Akshay Bhatia without disrupting their dynamic. His absence from competition since 2024 underscores the significant challenges he faces returning to elite golf after major surgeries, including a ruptured Achilles tendon last March.
