'Golf Emperor' Woods "Will Not Participate in June Major US Open"

Dedicated to Rehabilitation After Right Ankle Surgery

The "Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA) will not participate in the third major tournament of the season, the US Open.

Tiger Woods will miss the US Open following his absence from the PGA Championship.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) announced on the 22nd (local time) the 84 players who will participate in the US Open without going through the qualifiers, but Woods' name was not included. Woods' absence from the US Open was anticipated early after he underwent ankle surgery last month. Woods, who was involved in a serious car accident in February 2021, chose surgery on the 20th of last month to treat post-traumatic inflammation of the right ankle fibula that was fractured at that time. Recovery requires about 8 to 12 weeks. Woods has entered long-term rehabilitation after the surgery.

Woods had planned to participate in all four major tournaments this year. He played in the season's first major, the Masters, and made the cut, but he will miss the US Open following the PGA Championship. Participation in The Open, held in July, is also unlikely. This year's US Open will be held over four days from June 16 at the Los Angeles Country Club in California, USA.
