Tranlate this title Min Woo Lee reveals Tiger Woods’ condition after their June encounter in spanish

Tiger Woods’s future is one of the key topics on the golf scene.

Although the legendary golfer has been absent from major tournaments for several years, a large number of sports fans still hope that he could return, regardless of whether he will be able to fight for the biggest results again.

Woods has had numerous health problems and several surgeries in recent years, and he suffered a new major blow in March 2026. The experienced golfer was then involved in a car accident in Florida, after which he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.

Due to health problems, Tiger Woods missed all four of this year’s major tournaments; Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship. After the accident, he again found himself the target of criticism and condemnation on social media, but he did not make many public statements. He only confirmed that he will devote himself to rehabilitation and recovery, including treatment in Switzerland for problems related to the use of strong analgesics.

Although there was earlier speculation that Woods could take over the role of captain of the US team at next year’s Ryder Cup, problems off the course put a stop to such plans. His immediate priority is to fully recover and return to a normal life.

Woods now looks to the long-term future, aware that he is in a different phase of his career. After turning 50, he became eligible to play on the PGA Tour Champions, but his return to the field is still uncertain. According to the latest information, there is a possibility that he will return only at the end of this year or during the spring of next year, if his health condition allows it.

Min Woo Lee on Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is a role model for many golfers, especially the younger generation who are patiently building their careers in this sport.

Min Woo Lee is one of those who enjoyed the legendary American’s performances as a kid, viewing him as one of the greatest role models in the world of golf.

In an interview with the official DP World Tour YouTube channel, the 28-year-old golfer reflected on his encounter with Woods during the Travelers Championship in June.

The Australian particularly highlighted the practice round he played with Tiger Woods at the US Open a few years ago, calling that moment one of the best experiences of his life.

Min Woo Lee was impressed by the way Woods hit the ball despite the physical problems and injuries he had been through.

“I played a practice round with him at the US Open a few years back,“ Min Woo Lee said.

“That was really cool. That was one of the cooler moments of my life.»

He pointed out that it was special to see how good he was even when he was not completely healthy, and that he has shared several unforgettable moments with him. 

The Australian also made optimistic comments about the legendary golfer’s current condition, stressing that Woods looked very good during their last meeting after all the difficulties he has faced in recent years.

“I picked his brain a little bit. He was kind of like a bit hurt, but he was still flushing it. If he’s flushing it, then, like, when he was healthy, how good did he actually hit it?

So, it was cool to see how good he was even in a practice round and I got to share some cool moments with him.

He’s obviously helping the PGA Tour, with all the board meetings and stuff.

I saw him a couple weeks ago at the Travelers, and he looks really good.“

Lee on schedule changes on the PGA Tour

Min Woo Lee also gave his opinion on the proposed PGA Tour schedule changes set to take effect in 2028. The Australian believes that the new format could bring positive changes, especially due to the greater flexibility that players would have when choosing a tournament.

According to him, the schedule could be organized so that golfers have several consecutive weeks of competition, followed by a week of rest. Although it is still not fully confirmed how exactly the new system will look, Lee thinks that the idea looks very good because the tournaments would be more evenly distributed during the season.

The Australian emphasized that players would no longer be under so much pressure to have to perform at certain Signature Events, but would have the opportunity to choose the tournaments and courses that suit them best, especially in periods around major competitions.

Lee pointed out that the PGA Tour needed some change and refreshment, because some tournaments had become too limited with only 70 players in the field. In his opinion, increasing the number of participants to 120 players could bring better quality and more interesting competitions.
