Tiger Woods, a 15-time major winner, has accepted a special exemption into the 124th US Open next month at Pinehurst, the US Golf Association announced on Thursday. The 48-year-old golf legend, a three-time US Open champion, has struggled just to walk 72 holes after suffering severe leg injuries in a 2021 car crash.
But Woods has said he hopes to play once a month this year and finished 60th in last month’s Masters, finishing 72 holes in a major for the first time since his comeback from the crash at the 2022 Masters.
