Tiger Woods announced Friday that he intends to take some time away from golf after missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship.

According to Will Gray of PGA Tour's Golfbet, Woods said he plans to take a few months off and hopes to return for the Hero World Challenge, which is a tournament he hosts every December in The Bahamas.

Woods also expressed his desire to play alongside his son, Charlie Woods, in the PNC Championship in December, which he referred to as "our fifth major."

The 48-year-old Woods shot a 79 and 77 over the first two rounds of the British Open at Royal Troon in Scotland, putting him in a tie for 149th place at 14-over.

While Woods played in all four majors this season for the first time since 2019, he continues to play a limited schedule, and he hasn't been particularly competitive when he has played.

After making the cut at the Masters and finishing 60th, Tiger missed the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship, marking the first time since 2015 that he missed three major cuts in the same season.

Since recording two top-40 finishes at majors in 2020, Woods' major résumé includes a 47th-place finish, a 60th-place finish, four missed cuts and two withdrawals.

Woods shocked the golf world in 2019 when he won the Masters, giving him his first major title since the 2008 U.S. Open, but it is difficult to envision him adding to his career major title at this point.

Injuries have taken a severe toll on Woods over the past decade, and it will only get more difficult to overcome them the older he gets.

Even so, golf fans still love seeing him compete at majors, and every indication is that he will continue to play the big tournaments for as long as he can.

Per Golf Digest, Woods said, "Definitely," when asked Friday if he planned to play in next year's Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Even if Woods never wins another major or another tournament of any kind, he will still unquestionably go down as one of the greatest and most dominant golfers of all time.

His 15 career major titles are second only to Jack Nicklaus' record of 18, and his 82 total PGA Tour wins are tied with Sam Snead for the most in history.

Woods' game is clearly now a shell of what it once was, but given his immense popularity, fans will continue to watch and support him for as long as he wants to keep playing, even if his appearances are limited.
