Tiger Woods pulls himself out of US Open , admits ‘my body needs to get stronger’
Tiger Woods has confirmed he will not play in next week’s US Open at Brookline.
The 46-year-old had to withdraw from the US PGA Championship in May after three rounds and does not feel ready for the next major of the year.
In a statement on Twitter, Woods revealed his body needs to get stronger in order to take part in more championship golf, but the 15-time major winner added he hopes to return for the 150th Open at St Andrews next month.
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!
