Tiger Woods will not compete in next month’s US Open while he recovers from recent surgery, the major tournament’s organisers said on Monday.
The 15-times major winner withdrew from the Masters midway through the tournament due to injury and had fusion surgery on a bone in his ankle last month to address post-traumatic arthritis from a previous talus bone fracture.
Woods did not participate in this month’s PGA Championship, the year’s second major.
“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods said in a tweet at the time. “Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!”
The 47-year-old has kept a limited competition schedule after a 2021 car crash that required his leg to be rebuilt.
The US Open runs from 15-18 June at the Los Angeles Country Club in California.
Woods has not played at the US Open, scheduled to begin June 12, since 2019. It remains unclear whether he will play in the fourth and final major of the year, the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in England in July.
