About this listen
Tiger Woods remains an off-course force even as his return to tournament golf continues to elude fans and the sport’s biggest stages. According to the Golfing Gazette, Woods has not played a single PGA Tour event in 2025 and will not be competing at the upcoming Open Championship at Royal Portrush, a venue where he last missed the cut in 2019. The PGA Tour’s official qualifier list removed Woods from The Open’s field, underscoring his continued absence and fueling wider speculation about his competitive future following a left leg injury that ended his 2024 campaign early.
Business headlines, however, show Woods’ influence is only growing. Sun Day Red, the apparel brand Woods launched after parting ways with Nike, announced a major expansion to premium golf courses and retail channels, with Woods at the helm, as reported by StupidDope. His commercial empire, managed under TGR Ventures, is now known as much for its exclusivity as its reach. Marca reports that Woods’ business persona has become so prized that retired pro Mark Allen claims it costs one million dollars just to pitch an idea to him—an anecdote now making waves online. The press continues to highlight how Woods has translated sporting dominance into a lucrative entrepreneurial identity, with TGR Ventures overseeing ventures from course design to hospitality, including his Florida hotspot The Woods Jupiter.
In terms of new projects, GolfWRX details Woods’ latest partnership: his TGR Ventures is teaming up with PopStroke Entertainment Group, expanding the PopStroke mini-golf experience with Tiger himself designing the greens for future locations. This move fits the pattern of high-concept, large-scale enterprises that now define Woods’ post-peak playing years.
On the social front, Woods’ relationship with Vanessa Trump, first publicly acknowledged in March 2025, remains a frequent topic in entertainment and golf circles. Vanessa’s heartfelt June 30 Instagram post about her daughter Kai, who will play college golf at the University of Miami, sparked another round of media intrigue given the couple’s blending of high-visibility families and their shared love of golf. Vanessa and Tiger often appear together at family-centric golf events, further solidifying their union as a staple in both the Palm Beach social scene and golf media chatter.
No significant appearances from Woods himself have been reported in the past few days. Industry insiders and fans continue to monitor his business ventures and personal life, while golf at large feels the lingering void created by his absence from the competitive arena. For now, the Tiger Woods story is unfolding far more in boardrooms and social feeds than anywhere near the leaderboard.
