Woods described the tournament as a ‘truly special event’.
Tiger Woods is set to compete at the US Open in June after accepting a special exemption from the US Golf Association.However, he no longer qualifies automatically as his five-year exemption that came after he won the Masters in 2019 expired earlier this year.The 48-year-old has only played in two tournaments this year, finishing 60th at last month’s Masters, as he continues to struggle with the long-term impact of a series of injuries.
In a statement, Woods said: “The US Open, our national championship, is a truly special event for our game and one that has helped define my career. “I’m honoured to receive this exemption and could not be more excited for the opportunity to compete in this year’s US Open, especially at Pinehurst, a venue that means so much to the game.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
