What Tiger Woods has said about retirement after honest US Open admission
Much has been said about the future of 82-time PGA Tour champion Tiger Woods in recent years, and the man himself cast doubt over his playing days in the U.S. Open moving forward
Tiger Woods’ future in professional golf once again became a huge talking point this week, after the 15-time major champion admitted he may have played his last U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
It proved to be another difficult outing for the great Woods on the major stage, who was making just his fourth start of 2024 after moving to a part-time playing schedule. Woods has been forced to limit his playing time in recent years, having suffered career-threatening injuries in a car accident in February 2021.
Since then, the American has made just 10 competitive starts in over three years, with the latest coming at the U.S. Open. Sadly for Woods his trip to North Carolina was short-lived though, after missing the cut on Friday.

Having kicked off his week with a four-over-par 74 in Thursday’s opening round, the testing Pinehurst conditions got the better of Woods, who ended the second round at seven-over for the tournament, missing the cut by two. In the aftermath a deflated Woods cast doubt over his future in the event.
“It’s one of those things where in order to win a golf tournament, you have to make the cut,” Woods told reporters. “I can’t win the tournament from where I’m at, so it certainly is frustrating. I thought I played well enough to be up there in contention. It just didn’t work out. As far as my last Open Championship or U.S. Open Championship, I don’t know what that is. It may or may not be.”
This sparked debate as to whether the 48-year-old was in fact contemplating retirement from the professional game
