Overview
- USGA CEO Mike Whan told Sports Illustrated on Monday he would be "super surprised" to see Woods at Shinnecock Hills and does not expect him in any 2026 USGA championship.
- Reports describe Woods in an inpatient rehabilitation program in Switzerland that is expected to last about 90 days.
- After a late-March rollover near his Jupiter Island home, police arrested Woods on suspicion of DUI, found two hydrocodone pills, and later recorded 0.00 on jail breath tests.
- Whan's view also extends to the U.S. Senior Open in July, which would have been Woods' first chance to play the event at age 50.
- Woods is not currently exempt into the U.S. Open and would need an invitation to compete, while any return timeline beyond treatment remains unconfirmed despite outside speculation.
