We are a little over a week away from the biggest golf tournament of the year, the Masters, and the world wants to know whether the man most synonymous with the tournament will compete in 2026.
After a seventh back surgery and then possibly having his progress stopped with his most recent car crash, it appears as if Woods’ competing at the Masters is becoming less likely by the day.
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement on whether he will sit out or try to compete, the prevailing theory is that it would be a mini miracle if Woods were to play in the event.

Per Kalshi, the prediction website, Woods’ odds of competing at the Masters have plummeted over the past week since his accident in Jupiter, Florida.
Before the accident, he had over 50% odds of competing in the Masters per Kalshi’s odds.
After, though, it’s plummeted.
As of Tuesday, his Kalshi odds to play at the Masters are at 19%, which might be much higher than any other oddsmaker at the moment.
During the course of his career, Woods has won five Masters tournaments: 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2019.
Woods did not compete in the 2025 tournament due to a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered a month before the Masters.
We will keep you updated as the story progresses on whether Woods will compete at this year’s Masters or if it’ll be a second straight year without the five-time champion on the course.
