USGA announces current U.S. Open field; Tiger Woods not in it


The USGA announced the 84 players currently in the field for next month's major championship at Los Angeles Country Club, and Tiger Woods is not among them as he recovers from leg surgery. Woods had April surgery to address post-traumatic arthritis in his right ankle that was caused by injuries suffered in a February 2021 car wreck.
