It will be the first time
Woods has missed the
U.S. Open since 1994, when he had just graduated high school.
"I am extremely disappointed that I won't be playing in the
U.S. Open, but it's time for me to listen to my doctors and focus on the future,"
Woods said on his website. "I was hopeful that I could play, but if I did, I risk further damage to my left leg. My knee and Achilles tendon are not fully healed." Fla. (AP)
