Woods’ decision: not playing the US Open

In recent years, knee and back injuries have replaced each other and after the car accident in February 2021, Tiger Woods has competed sparingly.

The pain has simply been too great.

It is also part of the reason why the American is not playing the US Open on June 15-18.

“Tiger Woods, who won this championship in 2000, 2002 and 2008, has withdrawn while he recovers from his latest surgery,” the organizer wrote in a statement.

The 47-year-old had problems during the US Masters, which led to him dropping out of the competition after three rounds and then going on the operating table to undergo another operation on his leg to reduce the pain.
