3 Reasons Tiger Woods Won’t Be at Super Bowl LVIII; Explored

The stage for the 2024 Super Bowl is set! On Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. ET, the Kansas City Chiefs will clash with the San Francisco 49ers. Millions of fans will be making their way towards the Allegiant Stadium. Some of those fans can be LIV Golf players taking part in the Las Vegas event! However, missing among the crowds will be Tiger Woods.

The 48-year-old is known for his love of sports. Apart from golf, he keenly follows the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Furthermore, he also had strong friendships with people playing in these leagues. So why is Woods not watching it this year? There can be three reasons for that!

3. His favorite NFL team is not playing in the Super Bowl

LIV golfers attending the Super Bowl—at least some—is a given. So, he would like to avoid an awkward encounter with them there. But apart from that, his favorite team is also not playing in the Super Bowl this year. He is a devoured supporter of the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL, and has been supporting them from an early stage.

Coincidentally, the LA Raiders are hosting Super Bowl LVIII this year but won’t participate in it. While his favorite team not playing can be a major reason, it did not stop Woods from watching the game in 2021. However, one thing has changed since 2021 for the American golfer.

2. Is Tiger Woods avoiding the event due to a lack of comfort?

Despite the LA Raiders not playing, Woods took part in the 2021 Super Bowl, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominating the Kansas City Chiefs. He even posed alongside Jonathan Allen, a football player for the Washington Commanders. Notably, the 48-year-old was wearing comfortable shorts for this major event.

Furthermore, he has donned comfortable clothes multiple times in the past for live sports events. But now that he has all the screws and marks from surgeries, and the golfer might get conscious of it. He may have to think twice before wearing anything that might draw attention to his injury marks and scars. It is not a simple golf pro-am that hundreds of fans attend, but the Super Bowl, where millions of eyes would be on him if he attended it. But the final reason for his not attending the event can be the real deal.

1. Fractured relationship with Nike and upcoming brand promo
