The legendary golfer has been mourning the death of his mother Kultida and admits that he has had little interest in practicing since her passing last month.

Speaking after competing in a TGL event earlier this week, Woods said: "This is the third time I've touched a club since my mom passed, so I haven't really gotten into it.

"My heart is really not into practicing right now. I've had so many other things to do with the Tour and trying to do other things.

"Once I start probably feeling a little bit better and start getting into it, I'll start looking at the schedule."

The 15-time major champion's revelation means that he is unlikely to compete at the Players Championship later this month, as participants have to commit to the prestigious event by Friday (07.03.25).

Meanwhile, Woods had positive reflection on the first regular season of his and Rory McIlroy's TGL league and thinks that it is shown the sport "in a different light".

The former world number one said: "I think we were able to showcase the game in a different light.

"Everyone in today's day and age, their attention span is not very long. So I think that what we were able to do with the shot clock and the time and the pace of play, I think that is great for the game and it's great for the younger demographic.

"I think that we have so many different opportunities going forward with how this all turned out that the opportunities are endless. That's what's really neat. We can grow this bigger and better, and so many different options.

"I've watched every match that I wasn't playing in, and these are the guys that I know. These are the personalities that I've seen on Tour. But I think the fans are going to be able to see them in a different way."
