Tiger Woods will not be playing in the U.S. Open

Will Tiger Woods win another major?

Tiger Woods got everyone a bit excited whe he registered for the U.S. Open back in April, but with the tournament now only a week away, the 14-time major champ has confirmed that he will not be teeing it up at Oakmont. 

“While I continue to work hard on getting healthy, I am not physically ready to play in this year’s U.S. Open and the Quicken Loans National,” says 40-year-old Woods. “I am making progress, but I’m not yet ready for tournament competition.”

Woods has not played a competitive round since October last year, and there has been little to suggest a return is imminent. 

“I want to thank everyone for their continued support. The positive texts, emails and calls I have received have been incredible. I want to wish Mike Davis, Diana Murphy, the USGA, the players and everyone at Oakmont a very successful week.

“I will be hosting and attending my foundation’s tournament, the Quicken Loans National, at Congressional. It’s the 10th year of our tournament, and we continue to support the community, the military and the programs of the Tiger Woods Foundation.”
