Tiger Woods BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Tiger Woods has been back in the headlines this week, but not for his golf game. Speaking candidly at Tuesday’s TGL event, Woods told Sports Illustrated he is not practicing much these days, his heart just not in it after the recent passing of his mother, Kultida. He explained that he has been preoccupied with duties on the PGA Tour policy board and, after only touching a golf club three times since her death, suggested that competing in the upcoming Players Championship is unlikely and even prepping for Augusta in five weeks will be a challenge this year, given his emotional state. The last time fans saw him in a major event was a missed cut at the 2024 British Open, followed by a brief but heartwarming appearance last December at the PNC Championship with his son Charlie, a sign of his ongoing recovery from both the 2021 car crash and his sixth back procedure last fall, as reported by AOL and Sports Illustrated.
On the business front, Woods made noise with a new deal between his TGR Ventures and PopStroke Entertainment, announcing he will design the putting greens for new PopStroke venues, expanding his creative legacy beyond competitive golf. PopStroke, a tech-enhanced golf entertainment concept featuring innovative putting courses and scoring technology, will roll out Tiger’s designs at new sites planned for Arizona and Florida, aiming to broaden golf’s appeal, according to GolfWRX.
Off the course, tabloid fodder swirled when the biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York revealed former royal Sarah Ferguson confessed a “secret crush” on Woods, once traveling 1,500 miles just to be near him and even confiding to Piers Morgan about her interest. These claims, featured in early extracts online, are anecdotal and should be treated as gossip until the book’s official release and further verification, according to The Times of India.
Meanwhile, the Woods family continues to draw attention. Charlie, Tiger’s son, vaulted in the Junior PGA ranks with a stunning round of 66 featuring nine birdies, climbing to seventh place and sparking comparisons to his father’s early glory days. Public support from Tiger on social media, including a relationship update with Vanessa Trump and visible cheers for his daughter Sam at her soccer final, show his focus for now is on family rather than tournament play, per Good Morning America.
Social media saw Woods express heartfelt tributes to golf announcer retirees and praise for humble course staff, maintaining his public presence. Business headlines noted Tiger’s restaurant and new indoor golf league in Palm Beach, and a new PopStroke Instagram post warmly introduced him as a transformative partner. As the BMW Championship and TOUR Championship approach, Tiger’s absence as a player is palpable, but his biographical narrative is shifting, at least for now, from comeback drama to personal healing, innovative business moves, and devoted fatherhood.
