Former World No 1 Tiger Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the all-time record of 18 won by Jack Nicklaus, said on Tuesday that he will not play in next week's US Open golf tournament.
Woods suffered a sprained left knee and strained left Achilles tendon in the third round of the Masters in April and withdrew in pain from last month's US PGA Players Championship after completing only nine holes.
"I'm extremely disappointed that I won't be playing in the US Open, but it's time for me to listen to my doctors and focus on the future," Woods said in a posting on his website. "I was hopeful that I could play, but if I did, I risk further damage."
