Major blow as Tiger pulls out of US Open
Print Edition
TIGER Woods will miss his second major championship of 2014 as he struggles to return to top form following back surgery earlier this year.
The 14-time major winner announced on his website on Wednesday that he is skipping next month’s US Open while he continues his rehabilitation.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be there because I’m not yet physically able to play competitive golf,” Woods said.
“I’d like to convey my regrets to the USGA leadership, the volunteers and the fans that I won’t be at Pinehurst.”
“The US 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.”
Woods has not competed since the final round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship in March and this is the sixth major championship the American has missed because of injuries.
The 38-year-old also missed four months of the 2011 season with knee and Achilles injuries.
