Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods has accepted a special exemption to play in next month's U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in North Carolina, the United States Golf Association announced Thursday.
Woods, a three-time U.S. Open winner, last captured the event in 2008. While he has lifetime exemptions into the Masters and PGA Championship and can play in The Open until he's 60 as a former winner of those tournaments, Woods' exemption into the U.S. Open ran out in 2023.
It's the first time Woods hasn't qualified for a major championship since the 1996 PGA Championship, when he was still an amateur.
The 124th U.S. Open will be played on Pinehurst's Course No. 2 on June 13-16.

and he'll use that "extra special" exemption to withdraw right before he misses the cut, like he tends to do when he's not doing well....

LOL. Go ahead and recount the times he has done this in his career. You won't even need one hand. Heck, maybe a couple of fingers.

Can't wait to watch every single move he makes as he limps his way into last place and a 78 on Sunday.

So, he makes the cut?

He would have been better off playing in an event like the Zurich Classic in a team format
He needs to skip majors and play some of the lesser events that he might actually have a slim hope of winning while continuing to promote the PGA

His body can normally hold it together for 2 rounds. When I said on Sunday, that implies making the cut.

I don't know how the PGA rules work, but does this imply that his "Special Exemption" that allows him to play bounces someone who has earned the right to play by actually playing and finishing rounds????
If so, that's a pretty shitty thing to do, and if he has any integrity, he should decline.

Should have played the Zurich with Charlie, if that’s even allowed.

After making the cut. The post said before the cut when he was playing bad.
Try again.

Is he hitting fairways on Thursday & Friday?
If he doesn’t, he’s getting cut.

People are paying to watch TW though, and not exactly doing so for the guy who barely gets in, the guy who should be thanking Tiger for everything he’s done for the game

Jack Nicklaus received a special exemption to the US Open 8 times, his last when he was 59 years old. Pretty much the biggest names in the history of the sport have all received and accepted special exemptions. They hand them out all the time. Phil got one in 2021. Ernie Els did in 2018 and 2019. So, did none of these guys below have any integrity?
Here's a list.

Yea but you also said “last place” which implies that you’re a fricking idiot.
