Tiger Woods, sadly, has never played in the Olympics in his career so far. And the main reason for it is that golf was not an Olympic sport until 2016.

Moreover, it is somehow ironic, as Tiger Woods has certainly played a significant role in golf’s return to the Olympics about five years ago due to his worldwide recognition.?

And since Tiger hasn’t played in the Olympics yet, he has never won a gold medal either. Moreover, the 45-year-old is currently recovering from a horrific single-car crash that induced multiple leg injuries.?
