After requiring surgery to fix his right leg following a vehicle accident in February 2021, the 46-year-old made a stunning return at the Masters in April. At Augusta National and the PGA at Southern Hills, he made the cut before withdrawing after the third-worst major round of his career.
The American has won the US Open three times, the most recent of which he won in a playoff at Torrey Pines in 2008, despite a left knee injury.

According to sources in the US media, Woods rejected a substantial offer to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf International Series, which has its maiden event this week in England.
