Tiger’s last U.S. Open? Diabolical conditions | Seen and Heard at Pinehurst

Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion, has hinted that this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 could be his last. The 38-year-old Woods, who has not won a major since 2008, has been battling back injuries in recent years. He missed the 2014 U.S. Open and withdrew from the 2015 Masters after just two rounds.

Woods said he is “not sure” if he will be able to play in another U.S. Open.

“I’m just trying to get back to playing,” Woods said. “I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be able to play.”

This could be the last U.S. Open at Pinehurst

The strategic reason Rory McIlroy doesn’t watch golf before he plays

**McIlroy’s Strategic Avoidance of Pre-Round Golf Viewing**

Ahead of the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy has revealed his unique pre-round ritual: refraining from watching golf. This strategic choice, McIlroy believes, helps him maintain a clear and focused mindset.

“It’s about trying to just block out as much as you can,” he explained. “If I’m watching golf on TV, I’m going to start thinking about what those guys are doing, and I’m going to start trying to compare myself to them.”

Instead, McIlroy prefers to concentrate solely on his own game plan, allowing him to stay in the present moment and avoid unnecessary distractions. This approach has proven successful, contributing to his status as one of the world’s top golfers.
