Tiger Woods drops massive hint about future golf plans by trash talking rival
Speculation about Woods’ future in golf was a prevalent storyline during The Open Championship, as the 15-time major winner hit back at Colin Montgomerie’s calls for him to retire.
Woods has struggled to be competitive at the majors since a near-fatal car accident in February 2021.
As his body improves, the golf legend is hoping to add more PGA Tour events to his schedule in order to improve his sharpness.
Meanwhile, Woods will also qualify for the Champions’ Tour from the beginning of 2026 after he turns 50.
The American has never committed to the senior circuit but Harrington, who has won there eight times, recently revealed it is very much part of Woods’ future plans.
“I met Tiger recently and he said he was looking forward to coming out onto the Champions Tour,” Harrington told Today’s Golfer. “So he has an intention of playing.
“I think his words were, ‘I can’t wait to beat you out on the Champions Tour’, or something like that.
“He doesn’t want me to have it all my own way, let’s put it like that! I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Interestingly, Woods would be able to use a golf cart on the Champions’ Tour, removing many of his physical challenges.
These days, much of Woods’ time is taken up by off-course matters, particularly negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund over a peace deal for golf.
The 48-year-old is also heavily invested in his kids’ budding sports careers, with son Charlie tackling the junior golf world and daughter Sam expected to become a college footballer.
Still, speaking after The Open, Woods doubled down on his plan to play more golf, not less, moving forward.
He is next expected on the course for the PNC Championship alongside Charlie in December.
Woods said: “I’m just going to keep on getting physically better and keep working on it and then hopefully come back for our fifth major [PNC Championship].
