Tiger Woods announces he’s out of the U.S. Open
Tiger Woods won’t be teeing it up at the U.S. Open June 12.
In a statement released through his website this evening, the golfer said:
“Unfortunately, I won’t be there because I’m not yet physically able to play competitive golf. I’d like to convey my regrets to the USGA leadership, the volunteers and the fans that I won’t be at Pinehurst. The U.S. Open is very important to me, and I know it’s going to be a great week. Despite missing the first two majors, and several other important tournaments, I remain very optimistic about this year and my future.”
This will be Woods’ second consecutive missed major start as he wasn’t able to tee it up for the Masters following back surgery March 31.
Woods hasn’t played a competitive round since the WGC-Cadillac Championship at the beginning of March after getting off to one of the worse stats of his professional career, including an extremely poor showing at his personal playground, Torrey Pines.
The news is not unexpected since he indicated just last week that he wasn’t yet able to take full swings and was merely chipping and putting.
Whether the former world No. 1 will be able to return to competition before the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool (which begins July 17) remains to be seen.
A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
World Cup golf apparel
Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes
Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.
Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker
Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.
Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

I’m not a Tiger fan but I have to admit tournaments just don’t have that same buzz with out him. I guess it will be good when he gets back.

Not a surprise. Majors are better when Tiger’s in the hunt…but wiht the way they set up the US open and the way he’s driven the ball the last five years…..doubt he’d be near the lead anyway.

Well, we all know this was coming. Lets hope that Adam, RORS, Phil or some other big names make it interesting. The longer he is away the tougher it will be on him the rest of the year. I dont see in majors this year out of tiger.

Come on man that’s a bit harsh. You got to admit the majors are more interesting now without tiger. At leat we don’t get the “tigers going to win the next three majors” other players have upped their game, there is no tiger fear anymore, roll on!
Rich

Who cares if we never see him again. Bring on the US Open!

Why are there so many haters. He is the greatest golfer in the last 30 years. Don’t understand it. I want all the best players to be there. I guess it’s like everyone hating the Yankees for being the greatest sports organization in the history of sports. Stop drinking the hatorade.

The year 2000 was the best year as a spectator I can recall. He’s the greatest I’ve ever seen and hope he makes it back fully recovered and ready to take on the final 4 majors. I root for him because I respect the work ethic and the pursuit of greatness. He’s also the most entertaining golfer I’ve ever watched. The excitement in the broadcasts this year has really dropped a bit. I just want him in the mix again.

It’s funny to read the comments from those who don’t like him. I for one wouldn’t want him around my daughters, but I do enjoy watching him stripe the ball.
For all those who say he’s done, who won the most tournaments last year? Just saying.

Take your time Tiger! Don’t rush back. Get well.

Truth. There is always next year and 4 healthy starts for the Majors!

Exactly. We all know the game is worse off without him. And he is fun to watch.
