U.S. Open Preview: Look to Target Rory in Upcoming Showdown!

World No. 1 and reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler leads the charge as the 124th U.S. Open Championship kicks off this Thursday at the renowned Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
A formidable field of 156 golfers will compete, with over half the entrants securing their spots through automatic qualifications. These include world ranking placements, previous tournament victories, standings in various tours, and special exemptions.
<h3>Is Tiger Woods Playing in the 2024 U.S. Open?</h3>
Among the notable entrants, 15-time major champion Tiger Woods stands out, having received a special exemption from the USGA. Woods, who has not competed in the U.S. Open since 2020, aims for his 16th major title. His entry follows a challenging year, with a last-place finish at the Masters and a missed cut at the PGA Championship.
The historic Pinehurst No. 2 course will host the U.S. Open from June 13-16, 2024. This venue is a celebrated stage for what promises to be a thrilling contest. Despite his recent struggles, Woods&#8217; participation adds a layer of excitement to the event, given his storied history and previous three U.S. Open victories.
The U.S. Open&#8217;s stringent qualification process contrasts with the PGA Championship and Masters, which offer lifetime exemptions to past champions. Woods, currently ranked No. 829 in the Official World Golf Ranking, is competing thanks to the special exemption, as his five-year exemption from his 2019 Masters victory has expired.
<h3>Who Won the 2023 U.S. Open?</h3>
Another player to watch is Wyndham Clark, who claimed his first major title at the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club. Clark, 29, emerged victorious with an even-par 70 in the final round, finishing at 10-under. He edged out Rory McIlroy by one stroke and finished five shots ahead of third-round co-leader Rickie Fowler.
As the 124th U.S. Open unfolds at Pinehurst, the competition is expected to be fierce. With Scheffler leading the pack and Woods making a significant return, the championship promises to deliver memorable moments. Fans and analysts alike will be keenly watching how these narratives play out on one of golf’s most iconic stages.
