CNN —Tiger Woods will tee up at the US Open for the 23rd time after accepting a special exemption to play the 124th edition of the major on Thursday.
“The US Open, our national championship, is a truly special event for our game and one that has helped define my career,” Woods told the USGA.
Woods celebrates sealing his second US Open title in 2002 after a three-shot victory at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
“The story of the US Open could not be written without Tiger Woods,” USGA Chief Championships Officer John Bodenhamer said in a statement.
“My goal is to ruin the logo, I want to keep ruining the logo,” Woods told Carson Daly.
