Tiger Woods offered a cautious update on his recovery during a TGL appearance, saying he's progressing but still months from competitive golf. The 50-year-old has not played since The Open 2024 after rupturing his Achilles and undergoing back surgery.

Woods attended Jupiter Links GC’s season opener but wasn’t fit to compete. He revealed he’s now hitting short irons, a small but important step. His target remains competing in the latter stages of the TGL season, though he gave no timeline.

The TGL, a fast-paced indoor team league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy, continues its second season with notable names like Justin Rose and Collin Morikawa. Meanwhile, the LPGA announced plans for a women’s version, WTGL, launching in late 2026.

Atlanta Drive GC remain the team to beat, winning their seventh straight match. Billy Horschel’s clutch putting has been key. New York Golf Club bounced back with Rickie Fowler ending a three-match slide, showing the league’s growing drama and competitiveness.
