The last time fans spotted Tiger Woods compete on the golf course was at The Open Championship, which was held at the Royal Troon Golf Course in July. However, Woods was recently spotted on the course with an NBA icon.
The $90 million-worth (as per Celebrity Net Worth) NBA icon is Philadelphia 76ers small forward, Paul George. On social media platform X, the official handle of TGR Live posted a photo of George and Woods and shared that the NBA player has joined the Nexus Cup to support the TGR Foundation.
“Inspired by Tiger’s legacy on and off the golf course, Paul George joined us at #NEXUSCup to support @TGRFound,” wrote the official handle of TGR Live.

For those unaware, the Nexus Cup is an amateur team competition held at the Liberty National Golf Course. The proceeds from the Nexus Cup go towards the TGR Foundation which is an initiative by Tiger Woods and his father Earl Woods.
Founded in 1996 by Tiger and his father, the TGR Foundation’s goal has been to impact youth from under-resourced communities. The foundation also focuses on empowering students to pursue their passion through education.
How much did Tiger Woods earn on the PGA Tour in 2024?
