In the last ten days, many things have happened in the world of golf. The PGA Tour loyalists found out that what they believed in was a lie. The LIV Golf defectors grinned from ear to ear in front of the journalists. Finally, the PGA Tour Commissioner may or may not have faked a medical condition. All this happened because of one thing; the $3,000,000,000 merger. 

Yet, once the 3rd major of men’s golf, the US Open, began, the merger was not the center of the attraction but the event. From the little moment between the ‘Short Game’ genius Phil Mickelson and the Masters champion to the LACC taking the credit from Rickie Fowler and the 2020 Olympic gold medalist, the first few days of the week were all about the major. However, during the second round, it took a massive U-turn. Because Tiger Woods just dropped an update!

Despite the worries, many believed Tiger would participate in the event that he had won three times before. However, after his son Charlie got spotted at the LACC on Thursday, ES doubted it as a hint towards something disappointing. And now, it turned out to be the truth.

The 15-time major champion not playing in a major event is not something everyone can imagine. That was until the massive car crash in February of 2021. After nearly escaping death and numerous surgeries, many reckoned it was the end of the legend’s career.

The after-effects of the nearly-fatal accident and extreme weather during the 2023 events led him to opt for another surgery, which caused him to step away from the US Open and now the upcoming Open Championship.

There is no Tiger Woods without golf, and we dare say there is no golf without Tiger Woods.
