Woods to miss U.S. Open and Quicken Loans National  12:00, 08/06/2016

Woods also wrote in a statement on his website that he will attend the following week’s Quicken Loans National, which is run by his foundation, but will not play in the event.

"While I continue to work hard on getting healthy, I am not physically ready to play in this year's U.S. Open and the Quicken Loans National,” Woods wrote. “I am making progress, but I'm not yet ready for tournament competition. "I want to thank everyone for their continued support. The positive texts, emails and calls I have received have been incredible. I want to wish Mike Davis, Diana Murphy, the USGA, the players and everyone at Oakmont a very successful week.”

"I will be hosting and attending my foundation's tournament, the Quicken Loans National, at Congressional. It's the 10th year of our tournament, and we continue to support the community, the military and the programs of the Tiger Woods Foundation." 

It was announced in April that Woods had registered for the U.S. Open, but his agent Mark Steinberg told ESPN that it was simply a “procedural” move in case Woods decided to return at Oakmont.
