Apart from the good news, the 46-year-old also shared that he won’t be participating in U.S. Open. He said, “I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the U.S. Open as my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf.”

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.

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.

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.
