Okay, so let’s be real—when someone from the golf community says ‘the greatest of all time’, what’s the first name that pops into your head? If not first, we are sure Tiger Woods is at least the second name that pops up. Love him or not, Woods isn’t just a name in golf; he’s ‘the’ name, the one who’s redefined what it means to dominate the sport.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen him swinging a club. But has Woods’s absence dulled the loyalty of his fans? Not one bit. They’re as eager as ever to catch a glimpse or hear from him. And to their excitement, Woods might just appear on Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube series, Break 50. Hey, it is still a ‘Probably’ thing.
Bryson DeChambeau’s Break 50’s season 1 ended on a high note with him calling Phil Mickelson to the show. The series is now returning and the 2x US Open winner posted a hint who his guest might be. He didn’t mention Woods’s name directly but he mentioned a 7-word description, “the greatest to ever play the game.”
The 15x major winner is recovering from the sixth back surgery that he got in September. Many hoped he’d make his return at the Hero World Challenge from December 5–8, a tournament he usually plays and has been his stage of comeback. But, unfortunately, Woods confirmed he won’t be competing this year. He took to social media to express his disappointment, saying he won’t be able to participate but will still enjoy hosting the prestigious event.

If Woods does end up appearing on DeChambeau’s Break50, will be one of the most legendary collaborations. You see, he and Woods were close friends before the former switched to LIV Golf. DeChambeau once said that Woods gave him silent treatment, and ignored his birthday wish. But this year, after the LIV golfer defeated Rory McIlroy, Woods congratulated him at Royal Troon. After which, DeChambeau told Golf Digest, “It is the first communication, but I’ll say he’s a competitor and I have a lot of respect for him. I’m sure that winning two US Opens helped, I guess, for him coming up and saying congrats. I don’t know what his position is, but it was very thoughtful, and I was appreciative of it.”
We are not the only ones hoping it’s Woods; Fans want it, too, and the comment section was proof.
All fans could think about was Tiger Woods…
Dechambeau‘s tweet indeed came as a hope for many, who are looking forward to any glimpse of Woods. As soon as the tweet dropped, fans flooded the comment section with their assumptions. One fan confidently wrote, “Obv Tiger.” Another chimed in with excitement: “The Big Cat.” And one couldn’t contain their enthusiasm, pleading, “Tiger? Tiger! Please be TW. Please!” Having his last appearance on the greens in July at The Open, fans are now longing for his return. DeChambeau’s video or the PNC Championship are their only hopes for the remaining 2024. In 2025, the world will him playing in TGL.
Some fans were still unsure, with one guessing, “It’s MJ or Tiger. I lean towards Tiger.” Another was even more certain: “If it ain’t Tiger, then it’s just a clickbait title.” You say GOAT in golf, people hear Woods. After all, being the one with 82 Tour titles, 15 major wins, and only billionaire golfer does not come to those who are ordinary.
A confident user comment summed it up: “The greatest to play the game? Got to be Woods.” Well, these assumptions aren’t without reason. DeChambeau has long expressed his desire to invite Woods on his YouTube channel. In a recent appearance on Grant Horvat’s YouTube channel, DeChambeau didn’t hesitate when asked who he’d most want to have on Break 50. “Tiger,” he said without a shadow of a doubt, “I’d love to have Tiger on, I was good friends with him, man. It would be so sick to have him on.”
So, could it be Woods? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing’s for sure—fans love the Big Cat. Whether he’s out on the course or just showing up in a video, Tiger’s presence always hits differently, and fans are all in for it.
