When Tiger Woods posts something cryptic, it has everyone on the edge of their seats, hoping this time it will give us a clue about his comeback. And a few hours ago, he did exactly that. In a recent video shared on X, Woods is seen strolling across a vast piece of land, dropping a teaser that sent fans and speculators into a frenzy.
In the video posted by Woods alongside the caption — “From @BluejackNation to @BluejackRanch— the story continues deep in the heart of Texas,” Woods appears to be scouting the grounds of a new project tied to his design firm, TGR Design. Last year, Woods announced that TGR Design would be building a course at Bluejack Ranch, a new residential community near Fort Worth, Texas. ”
There’s a big difference between Blue Jack National and Blue Jack Ranch. I’m blown away with the amount of topography up there. The views, just the mountain elevation, I didn’t expect that here… So this is very different,” Woods is seen stating in the video.
If the name, Bluejack, sounds familiar, it’s because the same developers, Andy and Kristin Mitchell, created Bluejack National north of Houston in 2016. That was the site of Tiger Woods’s very first course design in the U.S., and Bluejack Ranch is essentially the next chapter in that story. The name of the course was picked after a native Texas tree, the Bluejack Oak, which is present at the site of the original course.
But beyond this update, fans are eager for any sign of Woods’s return to playing. His recent social media posts, paired with his appearance at the Nexus Cup, have had everyone constantly questioning — ‘Is he gearing up for a comeback?’ But it’s all ambiguous. Just a few weeks ago, Woods posted a powerful message on Instagram via his brand Sun Day Red — “Confidence isn’t given, it’s earned.”
It felt less like a brand slogan and more like a personal mission statement. And fans noticed. The comments were flooded with pleas for a return date, nostalgic cheers, and optimism. That buzz only grew louder because it was a few days after Woods showed up at the 2025 Nexus Cup, a charity event hosted at Liberty National Golf Club.
Teaming up with NBA star Steph Curry for a friendly match against Will Zalatoris and Ben Griffin, Tiger Woods gave the world its first real look at his swing since his Achilles surgery in March. And while it did not disappoint, his smooth and surprisingly powerful swing sparked a wave of hope. As Samuel Riggs of the Fore Play Podcast put it, “I almost get in my head that the only Tiger Woods I’m going to see again is going to be in a wheelchair. And then when he takes a golf swing like that, I’m like, ‘Oh [__], Tiger Woods could still like play golf.’”

It was just a charity event—but for fans, it was everything. And while there’s still no official word from Woods about a return date, speculation continues to swirl around possible starts at his upcoming Hero World Challenge in December or a PGA Tour Champions debut as he turns 50 soon.
But while the world waits to see if Tiger Woods returns to competitive golf, he’s been busy shaping a different legacy—one that lives far beyond the fairways of the PGA Tour.
Tiger Woods’s Courses Are Changing the Game
When people say ‘Tiger Woods owns that course,’ they’re usually not talking about real estate—they’re talking about design. Through his architecture firm, TGR Design, Woods has been quietly reshaping the golf world since 2006. His courses aren’t just playgrounds for the elite—they’re built with purpose, strategy, and a touch of his flair. From dramatic finishing holes to short-game-friendly layouts, every course he touches aims to challenge the pros while staying playable for the rest of us.
Take Bluejack National in Texas, his first U.S. design, famous for its forgiving fairways and fun-forward design. It features ‘The Playgrounds,’ a family-friendly short course that lets beginners and kids enjoy the game without feeling out of their depth. His first-ever design, El Cardonal in Cabo San Lucas, is wide, strategic, and very unlike the courses you’d find on the PGA Tour. It’s designed to reward skill and accuracy, and not just raw distance. And then there’s Payne’s Valley in Missouri, his first public course, which includes a bonus 19th hole purely for settling bets.
With his latest venture at Bluejack Ranch, Woods continues the same trend from Bluejack National — combining topography, new technology, and Texas charm. The project will feature everything from a full course to a lighted 10-hole par-3 layout, family zones, wellness spaces, and even a podcast studio. These aren’t just golf courses; they’re destinations. And with these projects, it’s clear that Woods is not just designing courses; he’s designing the future of how golf is played.
