Tiger Woods set to return to golf in 2027 TGL season

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 23:33 · Archive

Tiger Woods has been announced as returning to his Jupiter Links team for the 2027 TGL indoor golf season.

Tiger Woods is set to return to competitive golf in 2027 as part of Jupiter Links Golf Club's roster in the TGL indoor golf league. The announcement that Woods would reclaim his spot on the team was made when the roster for the third season of the league was revealed, displacing PGA Tour pro Kevin Kisner.

Kisner confirmed the move on the Fore Play podcast, saying Woods wanted to play and that the team also wanted to sign Keith Mitchell. Kisner, who had a two-year contract with Jupiter Links that was not renewed, said he was informed of the decision by Rob, described as Tigers's representative, who explained the team's reasoning.

Woods' return follows a difficult period in his career. He was arrested in March 2026 on driving-under-the-influence charges in Jupiter, Florida, and charged with two misdemeanors. He subsequently completed a months-long inpatient rehab programme overseas before entering a plea deal in September that reduced the charges.

Woods has played minimally since his arrest. His most recent competitive golf came in March 2026 when he competed in a TGL event for Jupiter Links. In early October, he was photographed hitting golf balls at a TGR Live event, offering initial signs of his return to activity.

Kisner suggested Woods could target additional tournaments beyond the TGL season in 2027, possibly including The Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship. Woods will be joined on Jupiter Links by Max Homa, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia for the upcoming season.
