Thankfully, Tiger Woods has recovered exceptionally well, more than a year since the accident. He even competed in both the Masters and the PGA Championship earlier this year. However, he had issues with his leg both times.

According to TMZ Sports, Tiger Woods officially announced that he will not be competing in the U.S. Open. Woods revealed that he still needs more time to heal and get stronger.

“My body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf.”
