Tiger Woods might be waiting for a return to action on the course, but there is plenty to keep him occupied off it.Having been instrumental in the PGA Tour revamp set to kick in for the 2028 PGA Tour season and successfully launching the $1billion TGL alongside Rory McIlroy, Woods has also been on the comeback trail.Tiger Woods is expected to play a part in this year’s TGL which starts in DecemberGettyThe American has not been in competitive action on the course for more than two yearsGettyLooking fitter and healthier than he has in years, Woods has been on the range with recent videos showing him to be in good shape.While a return to competitive action for the first time since the 2024 Open has been teased, but not yet confirmed, the 15-time major champion has a full schedule away from his playing privileges.According to reports from Northern Ireland, a brand new golf course in Ireland has been added to his to-do list.The Derry Journal quotes a local council official firming up recent speculation in the area that Woods had been enlisted as part of the $40 million (£30 million) project to bring another championship calibre course to the area.His TGR Design firm have a number of projects in planning and under construction, but all have been across the US, Mexico and the Caribbean.The project in Northern Ireland would represent Woods’ first venture into Europe.Galgorm Collection, an upscale hotel and resort group, has taken on a development in Ballarena, Magilligan – just along the Northern Ireland coast from Giants Causeway.While comment from the group has yet to confirm any plans for Woods to be involved, a Causeway Coast and Glens councillor was more forthcoming on the involvement of Woods as the course’s designer.“We received a briefing and it was confirmed to us that Tiger Woods has been signed up to design the course at Bellarena,” they reportedly told the Derry Journal.In July 2025, plans for Northern Ireland’s first championship links were confirmed.Woods is a 15-time major champion, the last of which came at the 2019 MastersGettyDespite a host of courses in the area, and some spectacular venues, the project will be Northern Ireland’s first new championship links in more than 100 years.The Open returned to Northern Ireland for the first time in almost 70 years in 2019 when Shane Lowry delighted the home crowd with his maiden major at Royal Portrush.The R&A returned there six years later and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was crowned champion, and in 2027 the Ryder Cup returns to Ireland in Limerick at Adare Manor.Woods’ recent focus has been away from the courseGettyWoods’ involvement will bring an even bigger profile to the Ballarena project and add to his growing portfolio which includes courses in California, Mexico and Texas.As far as returning to playing competitively is concerned, the Senior Tour remains a distinct possibility, and Woods is also likely to be part of the playing line-up for the latest instalment of TGL.The 50-year-old will host his annual Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas in December, and there remains the possibility of him being in the field.The recent list has left the door open for three spaces to be filled at the tournament’s discretion, and there is no doubt fans would love to catch a glimpse at Albany Golf Club.More realistically would be one of 2027’s majors, with both Pebble Beach (U.S. Open) and St Andrews (The Open) among his favourite courses.They join the Masters as venues where he has been victorious and would welcome him back into the field.
