‘Won’t See Him’: Rory McIlroy Drops Update on Tiger Woods’s PGA Tour Future After Achilles Surgery Setback

Tiger Woods is not okay. There are many reasons for us to think that. The 15-time major winner has just undergone emergency surgery for a ruptured Achilles, sustained while training at home. This latest injury is a devastating blow to Woods’ hopes of competing in the Masters, an event he has only missed four times since his debut in 1995. To make matters worse, Woods has been struggling to regain his form after a long layoff, having not played an individual event since missing the cut at the Open Championship last summer. Well, his good friend and co-founder of TGL has finally spoken his mind on Woods’ notable absence.

Rory McIlroy expressed his disappointment and concern for Woods, saying, “Yeah. It sucks. Yeah, he doesn’t have much luck when it comes to injuries and his body. Obviously he was trying to ramp up to get ready for Augusta, and Achilles surgeries obviously aren’t fun…. Hoping he’s in good spirits and hoping he’s doing okay. We obviously won’t see him play golf this year, and hopefully we see him maybe play in 2026.” McIlroy’s words echo the sentiments of the golfing world, which is rooting for Woods’s recovery and eventual return to the sport he loves.
