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.”

Pinehurst No. 2 always has had a reputation as a challenging course.
The greens are fast and undulating, and the rough is thick and punishing. The fairways are narrow and the bunkers are strategically placed.
