After Massive 2023 Setbacks, Tiger Woods Looks to Face a Crushing Blow on His 27-Year-Long ‘Major’ Streak

You might not see Tiger Woods at the Pinehurst Resort No.2 next year. As per the latest report, the 15-time Major winner’s chances of teeing up at the 2024 U.S. Open hinges on a number of variables. This is a shocking development as Woods never had to worry about his ‘eligibility’ in a Major before.

You might not see Tiger Woods at the Pinehurst Resort No.2 next year. As per the latest report, the 15-time Major winner’s chances of teeing up at the 2024 U.S. Open hinges on a number of variables. This is a shocking development as Woods never had to worry about his ‘eligibility’ in a Major before.

Tiger Woods has lost his chance to play at the U.S. Open. His earlier exemption, courtesy of the 2019 Masters victory, ran through its course this year. It is the first time, since the 1996 PGA Championship, that the former World No.1 is not exempt from a Major, Sports Illustrated reported.

However, if the USGA decides to grant him a special exemption, there is still some hope for the 15x Major winner. Previously, the governing body granted an exemption to Phil Mickelson in 2021. Jack Nicklaus, Woods’ childhood idol, received the privilege eight times in his career. It’s either that or Woods has to take a massive leap from his current OWGR 898 to 60 by June.
