00:00Senior Tour Chief says they're ready for Tiger Woods' debut.

00:04Tiger Woods may not be finished yet.

00:06With his 50th birthday looming on December 30, 2025,

00:10the legendary golfer will officially become eligible for the PGA Tour Champions.

00:14And while the idea of Tiger on the senior circuit once seemed like a far-off hypothetical,

00:19the pieces are starting to move.

00:21The PGA Tour Champions has been quietly preparing for a potential Tiger Woods debut for over a year.

00:26Tour President Miller-Brady confirmed that they've been mapping out logistics and contingency plans.

00:32Because when Tiger plays, it's not just a tournament, it's an event.

00:36From security and transportation to concessions and infrastructure,

00:40every detail is being planned in advance.

00:42The Tour's 2026 prize pool already stands at $69 million, reflecting growing momentum and visibility.

00:50But with Tiger in the field, Brady says the impact would be nothing short of seismic.

00:55The lingering question is whether Tiger Woods will actually play.

00:59After numerous surgeries, including a recent disc replacement,

01:03his return to competitive golf remains uncertain, even to those closest to him.

01:07Still, many golf legends see his senior tour debut as likely.

01:12Ernie Els believes it would be good for him,

01:14while Bernhard Langer and Jack Nicklaus have both predicted it will happen.

01:17Paul Asinger even suggests Woods might feel a sense of obligation to make an appearance.

01:24Historically, Tiger's been tight-lipped about his plans,

01:27and he's certainly earned the right to move at his own pace.

01:30But should he step onto a Champions Tour fairway even once, the impact would be immense.

01:35The crowds, the coverage, the atmosphere,

01:37it would be like nothing the senior circuit has ever seen.

01:40One way or another, the countdown is on.

01:43Tiger turns 50 in just two months.

01:45Whether 2026 brings a comeback or a quiet continuation of his recovery,

01:51one thing is clear.

01:52The PGA Tour Champions is standing by, ready for the roar.
