Tiger Woods missed the cut at The Open and fans were left to wonder when he would play again. His caddie, Joe LaCava, offered some insight on his schedule.

Tiger Woods’ walk down the 18th hole at St. Andrews was an emotional moment felt by just about everyone in the golf world. Part of that was the history taking place before our eyes but also the uncertain future of perhaps the greatest golfer in history.

Even though he missed the cut at The Open Championship, Woods’ comeback this year to play in three major championships — making the cut in two of them — was remarkable. However, there have been real questions about what lies ahead for The Cat in 2023 and beyond. On Thursday, though, we got some insight from a reliable source: his caddie, Joe LaCava.

LaCava said he hoped that he and Tiger would practice this fall with plans to not only play the Hero World Challenge (an event Woods hosts) and PNC Championship with Charlie Woods, but that he would also like to get 3-4 starts under his belt before heading to The Masters.

Tiger Woods: Caddie Joe LaCava reveals plans for schedule into The Masters

In all honesty, this backs up what was on display at The Open. At least from the eye test, that might’ve been the healthiest that Woods looked in any of the three majors he played — the problem was that he looked like a player who hadn’t teed it up for many competitive rounds this year. The rust was obvious and it showed in his play.

With that said, the plan for Woods to play 3-4 times before going to Augusta should be exciting for fans. Even healthy, Tiger was never going to play a full PGA Tour schedule anymore in his mid-40s. He’s past that point in his illustrious career. However, it’s a good sign for his health that he’s planning to be on the course competitively that much and, of course, play The Masters again.
