The crash comes days after Woods appeared in the TGL final, competing for his Jupiter Links team. TGL is a technology-driven indoor golf league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Woods’ last appearance on the PGA Tour came at the 2024 Open Championship, where he did not make the cut.
“I’ve been trying to come back. But it just hasn’t worked out that way,” Woods said ahead of the TGL final. “I’ve had a bad run of injuries last year. I think it’s been a year and a few days since I blew out my Achilles. And so then I’ve had two back operations. So it’s been a little rough go. But the guys here, this team, we have so much fun, I really don’t want to screw up the lineup, I just want these guys to keep playing.”
