Tiger Woods made his first public appearance Tuesday since his March rollover crash in Florida.
The 15-time major champion introduced PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp at a news conference in Cromwell, Connecticut, detailing the extensive overhaul being made to the Tour’s competitive structure, which includes a new two-track system, relegation and promotion, and changes to the playoff system, among other elements. Woods serves as the chair of the Tour’s Future Competitions Committee, alongside eight active pros.
Woods had not appeared in the public eye since he rolled his vehicle near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida, and was charged with DUI on Marhc 27. A police affidavit alleged that Woods had hydrocodone pills on his person at the time of the accident. No one was injured.
Woods has missed all three majors so far in 2026, including the the Masters, while undergoing a rehab stint in Switzerland. Four days after the crash, Woods made a statement, saying he was “stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment” and focus on his health, and that it was “necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
