The 2024 season of the PGA Tour is well underway! But still missing from the action is Tiger Woods. Fans of the legendary golfer will be desperately awaiting his return to the golf course. Though he played at the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship, his recovery from ankle surgery is causing a bit of trouble for him!
The 48-year-old is keeping his fans happy, as he promised them he would continue to compete, although limiting himself to one event per month. Furthermore, fans believe he will start the ongoing season with the Genesis Invitational in February. But there are chances he will appear before his fans in January only!
Tiger Woods, to appear at the opening of one of his business ventures?
There is a high chance fans will witness Tiger Woods in January 2024 at the opening of the new PopStroke miniature golf facility in Tuscaloosa. The golf course was first hoping to tee off in fall 2023. However, due to unforeseen delays, they are now shooting for a mid-January 2024 opening.
PopStroke is a mini-golf entertainment company co-owned by Tiger Woods and TaylorMade Golf. So it is highly likely fans will witness the 48-year-old at the opening of the course in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
But fans should still not get their hopes up high enough, as construction is still going on. “There’s been a lot of progress out there the last few weeks,” said Shane Robichaud, president of PopStroke. “Electricians are out there finishing up. Our audiovisual-slash-tech team is doing their installation. The landscapers are finishing up, putting pavers out in the courtyard.”
So while the work is in its final stages, there can be delays. But one thing is for certain: fans will be witnessing the legendary golfer play at the Genesis Invitational in February.
When will the 48-year-old play next?
Fans last saw Tiger Woods play at the 2023 PNC Championship. And he will likely compete at the Genesis Invitational, one of two events he hosts. The event is scheduled at the Riviera Golf Club from February 15 to February 18. It will also be his first start of the 2024 PGA Tour season.
The 48-year-old will also be gracing the golf world with his appearance at the major championships. He already holds lifetime exemptions at the Masters and the PGA Championship. He can also compete at The Open until he is 60. But for the 2024 US Open, he will most likely rely on a special exemption to compete. In the meantime, fans can watch the legendary golfer appear during the inauguration of the PopStroke miniature golf facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Stay tuned to find out all the latest updates on Tiger Woods and other golf entities!!
