Tiger Woods has outlined his tentative 2024 golf calendar, expressing a desire to compete in all the Majors following his return to the sport after ankle surgery. The schedule, featuring tournaments like the Masters, US PGA, and Open Championship, highlights his ambition, but he faces a hurdle as his automatic qualification for the US Open has lapsed. Ranked 901 globally, Woods might need a special exemption from the USGA, a process he admits to being uncertain about. Despite a lifetime pass for the Masters and US PGA, his five-year US Open exemption expired in 2023, putting his participation in jeopardy. While Woods acknowledges being in the dark about the process, his recent performances, including a fifth-place finish in the PNC Championship, emphasize his gradual comeback and potential impact on tournament dynamics. The golf community awaits news on whether the USGA will extend a special invitation to Woods for the upcoming season.
