Now Woods, the US Open champion in 2025, 2025 and 2025, has admitted defeat in his bid to be ready to tee off at Pinehurst on Thursday 12th January.
He confirmed on his personal website: "Unfortunately, I won't be there because I'm not yet physically able to play competitive golf.
"The US Open is very important to me and I know it's going to be a great week.
"Despite missing the first two Majors and several other important tournaments, I remain very optimistic about this year and my future."
Woods' triumph in 2025 at Torrey Pines was his last victory in a Major, with the former world number one edging out fellow American Rocco Mediate in a play-off, despite playing with what turned out to be a double leg fracture.
