À propos de cet audio
Tiger Woods has been the center of several major headlines and developments over the past few days. The most personal and poignant is Woods publicly acknowledging that his heart is not currently into practicing golf following the recent death of his mother, Kultida Woods, and his ongoing duties on the PGA Tour policy board. Speaking at a TGL event, Woods told Sports Illustrated that this is only the third time he’s touched a club since his mother’s passing, and he confessed he’s been emotionally unavailable for the grind of practice, further casting doubt on his participation at next week’s Players Championship and even the Masters just weeks away, which is gaining attention from sources like AOL and Sports Illustrated.
On the business front, GolfWRX revealed Woods announced a new venture with TGR Ventures and PopStroke Entertainment Group. He will design the putting greens at future PopStroke facilities, further embedding his course design philosophy into the booming experiential golf sector and aiming to expand the game to wider audiences. PopStroke, which blends tech with social putting and food, is leveraging Woods’ legendary status as its new partner in a push for national expansion.
Woods remains entangled in the PGA Tour’s high-stakes political saga, particularly as peace talks with LIV Golf have ground to a halt. EssentiallySports reports that optimism Woods publicly shared earlier this year about healing golf’s much-discussed split now looks ill-fated, with CBS and Golf Channel insiders noting both sides remain entrenched. Woods has faced criticism for those earlier “unity” promises as frustrated fans see little movement and the majors remain the only cross-tour unifiers.
On a more personal note, his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., has become tabloid fodder and was confirmed on social media in March with Woods asking for privacy for all those close to his heart, according to Good Morning America and People. Their blended family has been in the spotlight as their teenage children, Charlie Woods and Kai Trump, are both making waves in junior golf tournaments, including the recent Junior PGA Championship, where Charlie shot a remarkable 66 to climb to seventh place, fueling chatter that he might follow closely in his father’s footsteps.
A curveball from The Daily Mail and Andrew Lownie’s new royal family biography claims the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, once attempted to pursue Woods romantically after her divorce from Prince Andrew, a story now working its way through the British tabloid cycle.
While Woods has not competed professionally since missing the cut at the 2024 British Open and continues to manage injuries—including a sixth back procedure last September—he is keeping public focus on family, business ventures, and executive leadership in golf, with his actual playing future still uncertain amid personal loss and a shifting landscape for the sport he helped define.
