Tiger's Last US Open will be at Shinnecock Hills in 2008.

Here are the exemptions for the US Open:

1) Winners of the U.S. Open Championship the last ten years.
2) Winner and runner-up of the 2014 U.S. Amateur Championship (must be an amateur).
3) Winner of the 2014 British Amateur Championship (must be an amateur).
4) Winner of the 2014 Mark H. McCormack Medal (top-ranked in Men’s World Amateur Golf Rankings; must be an amateur)
5) Winners of the Masters Tournament the last five years.
6) Winners of the British Open Championship the last five years.
7) Winners of the PGA of America Championship the last five years.
8) Winners of the Players Championship the last three years.
9) Winner of the 2015 European Tour BMW PGA Championship.
10) Winner of the 2014 U.S. Senior Open Championship.
11) From the 2014 U.S. Open Championship, the 10 lowest scorers and anyone tying for 10th place.
12) Players qualifying for the season-ending 2014 Tour Championship.
13) From the current official World Golf Rankings, the top 60 point leaders and ties as of May 25, 2015.
14) From the current official World Golf Rankings, the top 60 point leaders and ties as of June 15, 2015.
15) Special exemptions as selected by the USGA.

Tiger's last US Open was in 2008 at Torrey Pines. I really don't see how he makes it through sectional qualifying or returns to the top 60 without a complete overhaul in philosophy.

Hell, it might be this year. Why play when you are closer to last place and have no shot of making the cut.

Its kinda sad to watch someone that was SOOOO great at what he did just a few short years ago fall so far so fast... He looks like he just doesn't even want to be out there..........

He's got nobody to blame but himself.

He needs to dump this swing and coach and beg Butch Harmon to take him back. If Butch says no, then dig out video when Butch was working with him.

Tiger isn't my favorite golfer, but to not believe he's worthy of this is just dumb.

As bad as Tiger is right now, he's made 3 cuts in a row since he came back. His bad is still better than half the field. If he's healthy he'll get back to the top 50 in OWGR by the time his exemptions run out
