Is Tiger Woods playing in the 2025 U.S. Open after Achilles injury?
It's time for the 2025 U.S. Open.
The third men's major championship of the year begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, where 156 golfers will battle it out for a chance to hoist the trophy. However, one of the most notable champions won't be in the field.
Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion, ruptured his Achilles in March and will be one of numerous past U.S. Open champions not playing.
Tiger Woods Achilles injury update
Woods ruptured his left Achilles while ramping up training to return to competitive golf. He underwent a successful procedure to repair the tendon, which Woods deemed minimally invasive. Woods is expected to make a full recovery, per Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, who performed the surgery.
There's no timetable for Woods' return, though he's not likely to play until later this year or early in 2026.
How many times has Tiger Woods missed the U.S. Open?
This will be the eighth time Tiger Woods has missed the U.S. Open in his career since making his debut in 1996, the most of any major. He missed playing in 2011, 2014, 2016 (the last time Oakmont hosted), 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 and now 2025. Woods has missed the cut in four of his past five starts, the only weekend made being a T-21 at Pebble Beach in 2019.
How many times has Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open?
Woods has won the U.S. Open three times, his first coming in record fashion in 2000 to kick off the "Tiger Slam," winning by 15 shots at Pebble Beach. He then added victories in 2002 at Bethpage Black and 2008 at Torrey Pines, the latter which famously came after sinking a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to force an 18-hole playoff against Rocco Mediate.

Jason Day's Tuesday fit at 2025 U.S. Open has him ready for a Fourth of July cookout

Jason Day, you've done it again. The Australian has made headlines in the past year with his clothing choices at major championships, especially the 2024 Masters, and he's at it again at the 2025 U.S. Open. Advertisement Day, the 2015 PGA champion, showed up to Tuesday's practice round at Oakmont Country Club wearing shorts that look like he's about to crack open a cold one and shoot off fireworks to celebrate America's birthday. Jason Day's outfit at 2025 U.S. Open See for yourself in all its glory, Day's fit is big on the red, white and blue. What did Jason Day wear at 2024 Masters? Day's flashy Malbon Golf Championship sweater was a talking point among patrons (and everyone at the course). The Masters and Augusta National asked him to remove the sweater and wear a more traditional outfit. Here's a look at what he wore. Jason Day (wearing a Malbon sweater) and his caddie, Luke Reardon, wait on the 15th hole during the continuation of the first round of the 2024 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. What did Jason Day say about that sweater vest? What is Malbon Golf? Malbon was founded in 2017 by Stephen and Erica Malbon, who created stylish golf gear worn by Day and LPGA golfer Minjee Lee. Advertisement The company's mission says it "sought to honor the heritage of golf while opening it up to a broader community, blending time-honored values with a fresh, creative spirit."
