Tiger Woods is skipping the U.S. Open

Tiger won’t be on the prowl for a while longer.

Tiger Woods is skipping this year’s U.S. Open in order to get healthy to play in other PGA events later this summer.

“I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the U.S. Open as my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf. I do hope and plan to be ready to play in Ireland at the JP McManus Pro-Am and at the [British] Open [in St. Andrews, Scotland] next month. I’m excited to get back out there soon!” Woods said in a statement Tuesday.
