Tiger Woods won't play in the Arnold Palmer Invitational

howard.linderman@fullsteam.com (Howie Linderman) — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:07:46 GMT

Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour season debut will have to wait at least another week as the 15-time major champion is not in the field for next week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Woods, however, will tee it up Monday in the annual Seminole Pro-Member tournament, which is played at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla.

Woods is playing with former PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh for the second consecutive year. The field at the Seminole Pro-Member includes Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Nelly Korda, Tom Brady and MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, among others.

Woods is also in the lineup to play in Tuesday night’s TGL match between Jupiter Links and the Atlanta Drive. Jupiter needs a win Tuesday and some help to make the playoffs.

Woods sat out last week’s TGL match as he continues to grieve the loss of his mother Kultida, who passed away at age 80 last month. Woods played in the first TGL match after her death but admitted it was an emotional experience and that it would take time for him to start to focus on golf again.

“I had a hard time driving down here,” Woods said. “I hadn’t hit a golf ball since I played with the President and just put everything away and shut it off. I had a really hard time getting here and then reliving all the moments that we’ve had, my mom, how excited she was to have Charlie drive her here. So those are some great moments and great memories.

“I really haven’t thought about golf, so I don’t think I’m going to be thinking about it for just a little bit here,” Woods offered later that night.

Woods planned to play more PGA Tour events in the lead-up to the Masters, but he has yet to tee it up this season. He could make his debut next week at the Players Championship.

He has not played on the PGA Tour since last year’s Open Championship.

Brian Campbell stuns even himself with first PGA Tour win

Brian Campbell came out on top at the Mexico Open on Sunday night as viewers were treated to some sudden-death playoff chaos between two antithetical player profiles: Campbell, a journeyman and one of the shortest hitters on the PGA Tour, and Aldrich Potgieter, the 20-year-old South African prodigy who currently leads the tour in driving distance.

Campbell defeated Potgieter after two playoff holes, marking his first PGA Tour win in just 28 starts. The Mexico Open field included just two players ranked in the top 40 in the Official World Golf Rankings, but the 31-year-old Campbell will earn a trip to Augusta National for his first Masters with the victory. He also claimed a spot in the Players Championship, the PGA Championship and five of the remaining signature events on tour.

Ten years of chugging along and 159 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour without a victory defined Campbell’s path to this win at the Vidanta Vallarta Course in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The University of Illinois alum first graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour in 2016 but was quickly relegated after missing 13 of 20 cuts. He finally found a groove last season in the minor leagues, finishing seventh in the KFT’s points ranking to earn his tour card again. Three starts later he played his way into the winner’s circle. It didn’t happen without a few hiccups along the way.

“I’m literally freaking out on the inside, I have no idea what’s going on,” Campbell said to the Golf Channel following the conclusion of the playoff. “To be in this position is just so unreal.”

Potgieter began Sunday’s final round with a one-stroke cushion over Campbell after firing a second-round 61 and a third-round 67 to tie the 54-hole scoring record at the event. Potgieter is only 10 starts into his PGA Tour career, but he is no stranger to competing and winning on the game’s biggest stages. Potgieter’s amateur résumé includes the Amateur Championship, where he became the youngest champion in the event’s history at age 17. With only 12 measured drives thus far on the PGA Tour, Potgieter has emerged as the longest hitter on tour, surpassing Rory McIlroy with an average of 328.7 yards off the tee.

The Vidanta Vallarta Course this week fit Potgieter’s game perfectly, allowing him to use his length off the tee to its full potential, as offline drives are not particularly penal on the Greg Norman design. However, it became apparent that the bombs-away game plan wasn’t the only way to attack the course, as Campbell continued to hang around the top of the leaderboard. On Sunday, NBC commentators compared Campbell’s ball speed to that of a senior tour player. He ranks last according to the tour’s driving distance statistics — 182 out of 182.

“He’s playing a different course than we are,” Campbell said of Potgieter’s game. “It’s been honestly fun to watch.”

Neither Campbell nor Potgieter had their best on Sunday, but both plugged away. Potgieter struggled out of the gates while Campbell floated around even par. The pair finished regulation play tied at 20-under, surpassing Isaiah Salinda’s clubhouse lead at 19-under.

The power of sudden-death pressure was on full display as both players hit multiple wayward shots en route to the final result. On the second playoff hole, Campbell’s drive was headed well beyond the out-of-bounds fence when it ricocheted off a tree and back into play. Potgieter then stood with an approach shot nearly 100 yards shorter than Campbell’s.

Instead of capitalizing on the opportunity, Potgieter’s attempt to reach the par-5 18th hole in two left him short of the green, in a bunker. He failed to get up and down, while Campbell made a birdie with a short wedge in his hands after laying up. After nearly handing the tournament to his opponent off the tee, Campbell couldn’t believe the outcome.

“That bounce? I mean, I’ll take it,” Campbell said. “Got ourselves back in position, gave ourselves a chance and it paid off.”
