Is Tiger Woods playing in the Texas Children's Houston Open 2024? Ace golfer's schedule explored

Tiger Woods, the 15-time Major champion, will not be playing in the upcoming Texas Children’s Houston Open. The event is scheduled to start on Thursday, March 28th, at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston.

Tiger Woods will not be seen competing at the tournament as he has decided to extend his break from the PGA Tour. Fellow Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are also among the few who will not be participating in the event this year.

Earlier this year, Tiger Woods had expressed optimism about playing in at least one event per month in 2024. However, he is currently dealing with health issues, which was evident in his performance last month at the Seminole Pro-Member tournament where he finished T33.

He missed the Arnold Palmer Invitational and also withdrew from the Genesis Invitational for an influenza-related ailment, barring him from playing or even carrying out his tournament host duties. Fans hoped to see him come back for the Players Championship but unfortunately, he failed to meet the entry deadline.

However, Tiger Woods is listed among the 85 players in the field participating at Augusta National on the Masters website, suggesting his presence is highly probable this year.

Tiger Woods is also reportedly scheduled to participate in the PGA Championship which will take place at the prestigious Valhalla Golf Club. He might also be seen playing in The Open at the prestigious Royal Troon.

Despite some questions about his qualification status, his illustrious career leaves no doubt that he could still be offered a special invitation to compete in the US Open.

Last year, Tiger Woods participated in his 26th Masters tournament. Having previously won the event five times, Woods made history at Augusta National in 2023.

He reached a consecutive cut streak of 23 at the tournament, matching the record set by Gary Player and Fred Couples, making Woods part of a prestigious group of three golfers. Unfortunately, he had to pull out in the third round because of plantar fasciitis. Tiger Woods wrote in a social media post:

"I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to The Masters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!"
