Tiger Woods to miss US Open as ‘body needs more time to get stronger’

Tiger Woods has confirmed he will miss next week's US Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts after revealing his 'body needs more time to get stronger'. Woods' decision to pull out comes just weeks after he was forced to withdraw from the final round of the PGA Championship in May.

The 15-time major champion was making only his second outing on the PGA Tour since suffering severe injuries in a high-speed car accident in February 2021. His initial return came one month prior to his outing at Southern Hills, after making a fairytale comeback at April's Masters at Augusta, the course in which he has claimed five green jackets.

Woods - who has won three US Open titles during his remarkable career - revealed his decision to withdraw via a statement on his official Twitter account.
