Tiger Woods: Tips for the U.S. Open
Tiger Woods, golf legend with three U.S. Open victories, shared valuable advice on how to tackle the challenging Oakmont Country Club course. Woods, winner of the U.S. Open in 2000, 2002 and 2008, knows well the secrets to succeed in this tournament.The Oakmont field has hosted the U.S. Open on nine occasions, the last in 2016.Woods, 49, underwent surgery on March 11 to repair a torn left Achilles tendon. The last official tournament Woods participated in was the 2024 Open Championship, where he did not make the cut. Woods has dealt with health problems for a long time. He underwent his sixth back surgery last September and continues to deal with the consequences of the 2021 car accident.At Oakmont, there’s no room for pretense. You have to hit the ball well. It favors long hitters because of the degrees and the complexes. It helps a lot to have shorter irons to attack the ball. It’s about missing the ball in the right places… because if not, it’s horrible!
