Of the 35 chairs reserved for past champions, 32 were occupied. Only Woods, Vijay Singh and Sandy Lyle were not in attendance.

Masters Champions Dinner is widely considered to be one of the best traditions in golf, but one notable past winner was absent when the 2025 edition of the event was held on Tuesday night.

Woods — plus Vijay Singh and Sandy Lyle — was among the three living Masters champions to not attend the dinner and participate in the photo. Woods is a five-time Masters champion who last won the green jacket in 2019. But Woods has battled injuries in recent years and ruptured his Achilles in March.
