Golf legend Tiger Woods turned 50, will throw party with 300 invites

Happy belated birthday, Tiger.

Golf legend Tiger Woods turned 50 on Dec. 30 and plans to celebrate his major milestone birthday with nearly 300 friends and associates.

Woods is organizing a sponsored birthday bash, ‘RED: Celebrating Legacy presented by EY US’ at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida on Jan. 14, according to Front Office Sports.

Some of the invited guests include the likes of Woods’s longtime caddie Joe LaCava, PGA Tour player Justin Thomas, Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank.

Performing at the party is American singer, guitarist, songwriter Jon Bon Jovi, known for classic songs ‘Livin’ on a Prayer,’ ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘You Give Love a Bad Name.’

The event is hosted by TGR Foundation, Woods’s nonprofit organization that promotes and provides innovative educational programs and dynamic TGR Learning Labs for middle and high school students with interest in science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

Wood’s birthday party also serves as the official launch of his nonprofit’s 30th anniversary.

Fittingly, the Tiger-themed party suggests guests to arrive in red as an ode to Woods and the color he chooses for the final round of golf tournaments, as well as his apparel brand Sun Day Red, launched in 2024.

Attendees are going to eat well. On the menu are steak and chicken fajita options, stuffed jalapenos, crab cakes and sushi, including an ‘Augusta roll’ as hors d’oeuvres. Classic American options such as cheeseburgers, French fries and milkshakes will also be available.

As Woods navigates life and regulates his body as a now 50-year-old, many speculate when, or if, he’ll golf again.

He’s been on an unfortunate streak of injuries. There’s the back injury, for which he had surgery in October. He ruptured his Achilles in March 2025.

Woods hasn’t played a major tournament since the 2024 Open Championship. He missed the cut that year.

A return to action seems likely with TGL and his Jupiter Links Golf Club, but the word is still out for competing in major championships such as PGA Tour.

One thing for sure, now that he’s hit the big five-oh, Woods is eligible to participate in PGA Tour Champions, a PGA Tour reserved for golfers age 50 and above.
