Tiger Woods will not compete in any of the 2026 major golf championships, including the British Open, due to his continued absence from professional play. His failure to enter the British Open confirms that he will sit out all major tournaments this year.
Woods has not played in a competitive event since 2024, and his absence from the 2026 schedule underscores ongoing challenges related to his health and recovery. The decision marks another year without one of golf's most prominent figures in the sport's premier events.
