Tiger Woods Injuries Will Keep Him Out of 2011 U.S. Open
Tiger Woods was planning on going to to the U.S. Open, but his injuries have not healed fast enough. It will be the first time Tiger has skipped the U.S. Open since he graduated from high school in 1994.
In a statement on his website, Tiger Woods said, "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. 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. I hope to be ready for AT&T National, the next two majors and the rest of the year."
