Woods withdraws from next week’s US Open

Tiger Woods said on Tuesday he has decided to withdraw from next week’s US Open outside Boston, citing a need for more time to get his body ready for major championship golf but still plans to play the Open Championship at St. Andrews in July.

Woods returned to competition at the Masters in April, 14 months after nearly losing his right leg in a car crash, then played in last month’s PGA Championship where he withdrew in pain after posting a nine-over-par 79 in the third round.
