Tiger Woods will turn 50 next year and be eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions. However, his birthday is on December 30th, the second last day of the year, so if Woods decides to join the senior tour, he will be eligible to compete in the 2026 season.

Since he is still recovering from his injuries, Woods has the option to compete on the senior tour with a cart, making it slightly easier for the 82-time PGA Tour winner to play pro golf regularly.

During the recent PNC Championship press conference, Tiger Woods said he saw Padraig Harrington, who competes on the senior tour, and gave a gist of their conversation.

"I saw him (at the PNC Championship) and we were just crossing paths and he laughed at me. I won’t say exactly what he said but the gist of it was he can’t wait to get out and beat me," Woods said.
