Despite an April Fools joke posted to his social media, Tiger Woods will not be playing at The Masters this week. Woods is still recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury that he suffered while training at his home earlier this year.

Tiger Woods, a five-time Masters winner, skipped the annual champions dinner at Augusta National while recovering from left Achilles injury.

Tiger Woods missed the 89th Masters dinner, hosted by Scottie Scheffler, sparking fan disappointment amid his ongoing Achilles injury recovery.

A notable figure in Tuesday’s Champions Dinner photo was Angel Cabrera, the 2009 winner who will make his first appearance at the Masters since 2019. But it is not age or injury that has kept the Argentine away from Augusta National, but rather a 30-month prison sentence for domestic abuse towards three former partners.

Arguably the best week in sports is here, as the 2025 Masters is just a few days from getting started at Augusta National.

Angel Cabrera is back at Augusta National, walking the fairways at the Masters six years after his last appearance and less than two after he was paroled from an Argentine prison
