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."From his 15-stroke victory at Pebble Beach in 2000 to his inspiring win on a broken leg at Torrey Pines in 2008, this championship is simply better when Tiger is in the field and his accomplishments in the game undoubtedly made this an easy decision for our special exemption committee."
“Just keep grinding away, keep doing the work, and hopefully something will turn around,” said Koepka.
For a decade, Tiger Woods owned the golf world. Now, he's taking on a new challenge and showing a different side of himself in the process.
Woods hasn't played in a U.S. Open since 2020 at Winged Foot and is the first special invite since Phil Mickelson in 2021.
