Tiger Woods gives heartbreaking news on Genesis Invitational amid dealing with grief on losing his mother
Tiger Woods announced last week that he would play the Genesis Invitational despite losing his mother that same week. Kutilda Woods, 81, passed away, but Woods, the tournament host, was still going to make his 2025 debut not long after. That’s no longer the case. Woods will not play at Torrey Pines this week.
Tiger Woods offered up a statement retracting his commitment to the field. He said:
“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready. I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.”
Woods gave it his best shot, but he does not believe he’s able to compete at the level he needs to since he is still mourning. He added:
“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my Mom’s passing.”
Based on that final comment, it’s unclear how involved Woods will be as tournament host. He would like to be present at Torrey Pines, but nothing is set in stone as the Woods family continues to struggle through a difficult time
