Tiger Woods has accepted a special exemption to play in the upcoming 124th edition of the US Open, marking his 23rd appearance at the major tournament. Despite not meeting the automatic qualification criteria, the 48-year-old golf legend expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to compete at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club in North Carolina on June 16.
Woods, a 15-time major champion, has a storied history at the US Open, having secured victories in 2000, 2002, and 2008. His remarkable achievements, including a 15-stroke victory at Pebble Beach in 2000 and a win at Torrey Pines in 2008 despite a leg fracture, have solidified his legacy at the prestigious event.
