Tiger Woods announces he’s out of the U.S. Open

Published

on

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.

    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!

    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.

        Easy to have success in baseball when you have heaps of cash……………Yankees suck

        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.

      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.

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.

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!

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.
