Tiger Woods sends fans into frenzy as golf legend | Golf News

As {the golfing} world gears up for the 2025 U.S. Open in Pennsylvania this week, 15-time main winner Tiger Woods can be noticeably absent from the competitors. However, he is made waves with a video message to fans, coming sizzling on the heels of his son Charlie’s own bodily transformation.

The third main of 2025 is set to kick off at Oakmont Country Club, with the first spherical beginning on Thursday. Earlier this 12 months, Rory McIlroy clinched a dramatic Masters victory at Augusta in a playoff against Justin Rose, while Scottie Scheffler, at the moment ranked world no.1, secured his third main title final month at the PGA Championship held at Quail Hollow.

With his Masters win, McIlroy accomplished the coveted profession Grand Slam, while Scheffler is now just two wins away – the U.S. Open and the Open Championship – from reaching the identical feat.

Meanwhile, former world no.1 Dustin Johnson, now with LIV Golf, is hoping for a robust efficiency despite latest challenges, even as he contemplates how for much longer he has left before retirement.

If Scheffler manages to secure victories at both the U.S. Open at Oakmont this week and the Open at Port Rush later this 12 months, he’ll be a part of the unique Grand Slam membership that Woods has been a half of since 2000.

Unfortunately, the long-lasting golfer will not be taking part at Oakmont due to an Achilles surgical procedure he underwent in March, which also induced him to miss out on McIlroy’s Masters and Scheffler’s PGA Championship.

Woods, reflecting on his near-miss at the 2007 U.S. Open at Oakmont, shared some simple advice for tackling the difficult course. In an Instagram video, Woods suggested: “You just have to hit the golf ball well.”

His reverence for Oakmont was echoed by fans in the feedback, with one noting, “It’s amazing how much respect he has for Oakmont even though he only played there in the ’07 open.”

While many fans have been struck by Woods’ respect for the course, others could not help but remark on his strong bodily situation, significantly his proper forearm. Fans expressed their admiration with feedback like “Big [Tiger emoji] lookin swole,” and “Bro looks stacked” while one other complimented, “Triceps on point.”

Woods also confirmed earlier this 12 months that he underwent Achilles surgical procedure, explaining in a assertion: “As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured. I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”

“This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon. “The surgical procedure went easily, and we count on a full restoration,” added Dr. Stucken.”
