Tiger Woods had to withdraw from the 2022 PGA Championship in May due to soreness in his right leg. This was his first withdrawal from a Major since the 1995 US Open, during which he was still an amateur.
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 15 times Major Champion has yet to recover from the injury he sustained at the Southern Hills Championship Court. However, Woods has recovered from a lot worse, so we can hope to see him play golf in Great Britain.
Tiger Woods’ struggles with injury
Tiger Woods has struggled quite often with injuries in his career. His real trouble with injuries began in 2007 when he ruptured his ACL during the British Open, but he still managed to win five of his final six tournaments to close the season.

Woods had similar troubles during the 2008 U.S. Open, where he damaged his left tibia and had severe pain in his left knee. However, he battled through the pain to win the Major. Prior to the 2022 season, Woods was involved in a car crash that left him on crutches. His participation for the 2022 season was in doubt, but he did manage to recover to return to play at Augusta National for the Masters.
Woods’ injuries have been common throughout his career but so has been his fighting spirit to overcome the troubles. Do you think he will be completely fit before The Open Championship commences on July 14th?
