While golf fans will be treated to 16 of the world’s top 20 players this week when the PGA Tour returns to action with the Charles Schwab Challenge, they won’t get to see Tiger Woods back on the course just yet.
Yet being the operative word.
While there’s nothing official on when we’ll see the 15-time major champion next, the Big Cat’s yacht – named Privacy, funny enough – is making its way up the east coast.
As first reported by Riggs, host of Barstool Sports’ Fore Play podcast, Privacy left North Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday and arrived at St. Simons Island, Georgia, according to tracking from MarineTraffic.com Tuesday afternoon. Next week, Hilton Head Island will play host to the RBC Heritage at Harbor Town, located just a few hours north of St. Simons Island.
While the mental image of Woods in a captain’s hat is funny, it’s not entirely accurate. The last two times Privacy has been at an event – the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills and 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage Black, both on Long Island – he sent the boat to the tournament and flew in later. It’s unknown if Woods made the trip on the yacht.
Woods has competed at Harbour Town Golf Links just once, a T-18 finish at the 1999 RBC Heritage. The 82-time winner on Tour and his fellow competitors have until 5 p.m. ET this Friday, June 12, to commit to playing.
