Tiger won't play U.S. Open: 'My body needs more time'
Tiger Woods will not compete at the upcoming U.S. Open, he announced Tuesday.
I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the @usopengolf as my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf. I do hope and plan to be ready to play in Ireland at @JPProAm and at @TheOpen next month. I’m excited to get back out there soon!

The tournament is set for June 16-19 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Woods participated at the PGA Championship in May and even made the cut, but he withdrew before the final round after laboring through a 9-over 79 on moving day.
The PGA Championship was Woods' second competitive tournament since he nearly lost his leg in a car accident in February 2021. He made his return at the 2022 Masters, where he made the cut but finished 47th.
