Tiger Woods Steps Away for Health, Misses Cadillac Championship

Tiger Woods has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming 2026 Cadillac Championship, a significant event on the PGA Tour. The golfer revealed on April 1st that he is taking a necessary break to focus on his health and undergo treatment. Woods stated his commitment to a "lasting recovery" and returning to the sport in a "healthier, stronger and more focused place."

This step away from the game means Woods will miss his first PGA Tour event since The Open Championship in 2024. His previous season saw limited participation, including withdrawing from the Genesis Invitational and missing cuts at major championships. The 2026 Cadillac Championship, scheduled for April 30 to May 3, will proceed with notable players like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy also absent from the field.
