Tiger Woods recently made a rare public appearance — not on a golf course, but in a pre-recorded video message for his longtime friend Notah Begay III, who received the 2026 Payne Stewart Award.
The appearance drew attention because Woods, 50, has largely remained out of the public eye since his March DUI arrest in Florida. His message was played during the award ceremony in Atlanta, where Begay was honored for his work with Native American communities and young people, along with his character, sportsmanship and charitable work through the NB3 Foundation.
