Tiger Woods Granted Special Exemption to Compete in 2024 U.S. Open

Tiger Woods will play in the upcoming U.S. Open at Pinehurst, marking his first exemption entry in the tournament's history.

Tiger Woods accepts a special exemption to participate in the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, North Carolina.
This exemption marks the first time Woods has needed one since his debut at the U.S. Open in 1995.
Woods' previous qualification from his 2019 Masters win expired last year, necessitating the exemption.
Despite recent injuries and a drop in world ranking, Woods remains a significant draw for the tournament.
The decision to grant Woods an exemption has sparked debate, with some arguing it should have gone to emerging players.
