Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car accident on March 27, and shortly after the incident, he made the decision to travel overseas with the goal of focusing on his overall health and recovery.
Woods has not appeared in a competitive golf tournament since 2024, and after already missing the first two majors of the season, his status for both the U.S. Open next month and The Open Championship in July has now become clear.

While the long-term goal remains a return to golf following years of injuries and surgeries — particularly over the last several seasons — Woods has reportedly already been ruled out of the U.S. Open.
He also did not submit an entry to become eligible for The Open Championship, meaning he is expected to miss all four major tournaments this season, according to Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated.

Woods has spent much of the last two months in Zurich, and while he briefly returned to Florida recently for a family matter, it appears he has since traveled back overseas — another sign that his primary focus remains on his health rather than golf at this point in time.

Interestingly, Woods was featured Tuesday in a promotional poster for the Baycurrent Classic, which will take place in Yokohama from Oct. 8-11. The poster included the caption: “The world’s top players are coming to #YokohamaCC again this year!”
While it may be a stretch, the event could potentially emerge as a possible return spot for Woods to make his competitive golf comeback later in 2026.
