Tiger Woods will tee it up for the first time since his mother’s death when TGL resumes its season next week in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Woods will be joined by Jupiter Links teammates Kevin Kisner and Tom Kim on Tuesday when they face the New York Golf Club, which features Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Following the passing of Woods’ mother, Kultida, on Feb. 4, the 15-time major tournament winner withdrew from this weekend’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, saying he wasn’t ready to return.
“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” Woods said in a statement on social media. “I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.
“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my mom’s passing.”
Woods last played competitively during Jupiter Links’ 4-3 win over Boston Common Golf on Jan. 27, which Kultida Woods attended.
Genesis Invitational honors Kultida Woods
The pin flag on the seventh hole at Torrey Pines South Course during this week’s Genesis Invitational features an all-white flag with no logos or numbers in honor of Kultida Woods’ heritage. White symbolizes purity, wisdom and longevity in Buddhism. The number seven is also integral in Buddhist culture, tied to seven factors of enlightenment.
Davis Thompson leads the tournament through two rounds with a score of 8-under par, one shot better than Scottie Scheffler.
