Tiger Woods‘ near-death accident in 2021 has prevented him from participating in any events in the 2023 season except the Masters. However, Woods is not completely off of the PGA Tour event.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner has made yet another debut in the tour. Woods’ TGR-designed course is set to host the $8.2 million purse PGA Tour FedEx Cup fall event in Mexico.

Tiger Woods subtly joins the PGA Tour amid recovery break

Tiger Woods’ extended absence from the PGA Tour was noticed by all golf fans. The break he took in April to recover from a plantar fasciitis surgery has now kept him from playing professionally for some time. However, Woods can be seen moving and hitting the ball often despite the struggle he faces to walk or even stand still.

Although you will not see him playing anytime soon, his business endeavors keep him connected to the golf world. Earlier this year, the PGA Tour terminated the contract with Mayakoba over their involvement with LIV Golf. Soon after, the news of Diamante hosting the $8.2 million World Wide Technology Championship was made public.

Woods has designed two courses for Diamante, El Cardonal, and The Oasis; a 12-hole short course. Additionally, the Diamante Resort exhibits a shop for Tiger Woods’ various merchandise in collaboration with Nike. From t-shirts and shoes to Nike clubs, it’s a treat for golf fans. With a subtle tribute, Woods once again proved his dedication to the Tour. 

TGR Design has over 13 different courses in the Americas. His team consists of his old friends Bryon Bell and Beau Welling, who have worked with veteran golf course architect Tom Fazio. 

Alan Shipnuck alleges Tiger Woods of orchestrating a plan against Phil Mickelson

In his book LIV and Let Die, Shipnuck wrote that “He (Woods) talked to a handful of other [past champions] to get their blessing and then went to the R&A and told them, basically, no one wanted Phil there and it would make the night weird and awkward.” 

However, when Mickelson spoke about the issue last year, there was no mention of Tiger’s name. Shipnuck is popular for speaking based on anonymous sources. There is no way one can confirm the allegations or deny them.
