Why is Tiger Woods not playing at the 2023 Tour Championship?

Tiger Woods, a two-time winner of the FedEx Cup, is absent from this year's Tour Championship due to ongoing recovery from the subtalar fusion surgery he underwent several months ago.

The experienced golfer was last seen competing in April at the Masters, where he matched Fred Couples and Gary Player's record of 23 consecutive cuts at Augusta National. However, he had to withdraw during the third round due to plantar fasciitis.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner hasn't been able to maintain a full playing schedule since a life-threatening accident in 2021. Earlier this year, he indicated his intention to focus on major tournaments and a select few events due to his body's limitations.

Woods has appeared at the Tour Championship sixteen times and has registered victories three times (1999, 2007, and 2018). Besides, he has also finished runner-up four times. He is also one of the most successful players in the FedEx Cup and has secured two wins, the second most in playoff history.
