Woods announced he will not compete in the Hero World Challenge due to his recent sixth back surgery, expressing disappointment but looking forward to his hosting duties.
The 15-time major champion’s latest surgery aimed to resolve back spasms and pain, reflecting ongoing challenges since his injuries from a 2021 car accident.
Woods revealed that Justin Thomas, Jason Day, and Nick Dunlap would be exemptions in the tournament, which is set to run from December 5-8.
In 2024, Woods made five tournament appearances, struggling with performance, missing three cuts and finishing last among those who made the Masters cut.
