Tiger Woods Falls Short at US Open, Misses Cut at Pinehurst No. 2 for Second Time

PINEHURST, N.C. - Tiger Woods' bid to extend his major championship record at the US Open came up short once again as he missed the cut at Pinehurst No. 2 for the second time in his career.

The three-time US Open champion finished with a score of 14 over par after two rounds, marking his 14th consecutive round without breaking par in a major tournament.

Woods, who had not played a US Open round since Winged Foot in 2020 due to injuries, struggled to adapt to the challenging conditions at Pinehurst No. 2. He shot a disappointing 73 on both days and missed out on making the cut by two strokes.

Despite his early exit from the tournament, Woods remains uncertain about his future in golf. He has only one more event left in his schedule for the season, July's Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Woods won the US Open in 2000, 2002, and 2008 and holds a special place in his heart for Pinehurst No. 2 after finishing third in the U.S. Open there in 1999 and second in 2005.

At the par-3 15th hole on Friday, Woods missed a putt for birdie that would have potentially saved his round and kept him in contention for the weekend.

Despite missing out on making the cut, Woods remains optimistic about his golf game and is looking forward to returning to competition soon.

Woods' early exit from the US Open comes after he missed the cut at both The Masters and PGA Championship last year. He underwent back surgery in April 2023, which kept him out of action for several months.
