🙋♂️ Frequently Asked Questions: 2026 PGA Summer Slate
Is Tiger Woods playing in the 2026 British Open?
No. Tiger Woods will officially miss the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. The R&A deadline for eligible players to confirm entry has passed, and Woods did not submit his name. This marks the second consecutive year he will miss all four major championships. He has been on an indefinite competitive hiatus since his late-March car accident and subsequent DUI charge, and is currently focused entirely on his health and personal rehabilitation.
Can Tiger Woods still play in the Open Championship in the future?
Yes. As a three-time champion (2000, 2005, 2006), Woods holds a lifetime exemption to play in the Open Championship until the age of 60, meaning he remains eligible to return through 2036 once he is healthy enough to compete.
Is Phil Mickelson playing in the British Open this year?
Yes, Phil Mickelson has officially submitted his entry for the 2026 Open Championship. While “Lefty” has missed several spring events due to a private family health issue, he has kept his name on the active entry list to protect his streak of not missing an Open Championship since 2009.
What are the next PGA Tour “Signature Events” on the 2026 summer schedule?
The summer schedule features two massive, high-point Signature Events right out of the gate in June: the Memorial Tournament (June 3-7) and the Travelers Championship (June 24-28). Both feature limited fields and elevated purses, making them primary targets for tournament bracket pools.
Where can I print out low-ink summer tournament brackets?
Complete, low-ink printable PDF fields, tracking grids, and historical statistical sheets for the upcoming U.S. Open and Open Championship will be released on our main SportsBrackets.net NLT 48 hours prior to the first round of each event.
