Despite having a lifetime exemption to participate in the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, Tiger Woods will not be competing in the Arnold Palmer Invitational (API).

The third Signature Event of the 2025 season is set to take place at Bay Hill next week, with the top players on the PGA Tour vying for a $20 million prize. Due to the limited field, several notable names, including 15-time major champion Woods, will not be participating.
