PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods was the sixth and final player to emerge from the tunnel and onto the field of play for his TGL debut on Tuesday night.

No one announced his name. Wasn’t necessary.

Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” blared and that was more than enough of an introduction for perhaps golf’s greatest player ever. It’s not like anyone inside SoFi Center at Palm Beach State College didn’t know who Woods was, and most were even probably aware of how he, Rory McIlroy and others spent years trying to make this notion of indoor golf on TV happen.

“It is a reality now,” Woods said.

Week 2 of TGL was Tuesday night — Woods joined Kevin Kisner and Max Homa of Jupiter Links Golf Club to take on the Los Angeles Golf Club of Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala.

Emma Raducanu overcomes serving woes to battle through at Australian Open

Just a few games into Emma Raducanu’s first contest of the new season, it was clear that an uncomfortable day lay ahead. Having been forced to withdraw from her first scheduled tournament, Raducanu arrived at the Australian Open rusty and undercooked.

Under the heightened stress of a grand slam first round match, Raducanu’s serve was completely out of control, double faults cascading from her racket.

As was the case with Jack Draper on the same court less than 24 hours earlier, the end goal for any player in this situation is simple: survive for another day so that there are more opportunities during the tournament to improve.

Raducanu showed her survival instincts by fighting through a self-sabotaging 15 double faults to deliver a hard-fought 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2) win over Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 26th seed, in the first round of the Australian Open.

Mike Tyson Net Worth 2025

Mike Tyson is one of the most legendary boxers in the sport’s history. At the peak of his career, the former heavyweight champion was one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. But as quickly as he rose up, he fell.

“Iron Mike” earned hundreds of millions throughout his career, but he also spent lavishly, was scammed out of money from managers and promotors, went to prison, and declared bankruptcy multiple times.

Per Celebrity Net Worth, Mike Tyson has a net worth of around $20 million in 2025. Facing financial difficulties since the early 2000s and declaring bankruptcy multiple times, most recently in 2010, Tyson’s over $400 million in earnings throughout his career was entirely depleted multiple times.

His most recent fight against Logan Paul in November 2024, which paid him an estimated $20 million, accounts for the majority of his current net worth.

Tyson Fury: Final curtain for the ‘Gypsy King’?

Tyson Fury has, not for the first time, announced his retirement from the boxing ring. But is this really the end of the road for the “Gypsy King”?

The towering 36-year-old British heavyweight called it a day on Monday, just weeks after his second straight defeat by Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,” he said in a post on social media, apparently filmed inside a vehicle.

“I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing, it has been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it.”

Fury enjoyed two stints as the heavyweight world champion and retires with a record of 34 wins, two defeats and one draw.

Tyson Fury Retires After Consecutive Losses To Oleksandr Usyk, Leaving Anthony Joshua Showdown In Limbo

Tyson Fury has, not for the first time, announced his retirement from the boxing ring. But is this really the end of the road for the “Gypsy King”?

The towering 36-year-old British heavyweight called it a day on Monday, just weeks after his second straight defeat by Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

“Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet,” he said in a post on social media, apparently filmed inside a vehicle.

“I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing, it has been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it.”

Fury enjoyed two stints as the heavyweight world champion and retires with a record of 34 wins, two defeats and one draw.

That is if he stays retired.

Fury has previously announced his exit on a number of occasions, most recently in April 2022.

But they all turned out to be short-term absences from the ring and many pundits are sceptical that this really is the end.

Tyson Fury’s response to Anthony Joshua call-out speaks volume

Tyson Fury ignored Anthony Joshua’s challenge over the weekend by opting out of a star-studded boxing awards ceremony.

The Ring Magazine event in London saw the who’s who of boxing gather, but Fury was notably absent despite his first bout with Oleksandr Usyk being honoured as the event of the year.

Joshua had taken to Instagram before the event, posting an image of Fury with the caption: “Looking for this man tonight @ringmagazine”, in hopes of a face-off at the ceremony. However, Fury was nowhere to be seen.

Boxing enthufansiasts are eager for a showdown between Joshua and Fury this year, with AJ expressing his commitment to “deliver” the much-anticipated fight. Speaking at the awards, Joshua reflected on his recent break from the ring: “After my last fight I took some time out,” he said.

Amir Khan Sums Up Daniel Dubois Chances Of Winning Oleksandr Usyk Rematch In Just 1 Word

Daniel Dubois, despite having a tough opponent in Joseph Parker on the horizon, is clear that he wants to unify his heavyweight belt with the three Oleksandr Usyk is in possession of.

Should things play out that way it would be the second time the two champions have faced off. Dubois travelled to Poland back in 2023 to challenge Usyk for the WBA, WBO and IBF belts.

He thought he found some success in the fifth round when the Ukrainian hit the deck, but the shot was immediately ruled to be a low blow and the champion was given ample time to recover before fighting on and taking back control.

Usyk would drop Dubois in the eighth and finish the job in the ninth, with many questioning the young Brit’s grit when he failed to stand to make the referee’s count.
