Tiger Woods Injury Update: 2014 U.S. Open Already Suffering Without Tiger In The Tournament

Tiger Woods is the most popular golfer in the world, and that fact is never more evident than when he isn't playing. The 38-year-old will miss his second major championship of 2014, after undergoing back surgery in late March. He didn't participate in the Masters and won't be ready for Thursday's U.S. Open in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Woods might be the most important individual athlete in any sport. His popularity drives ratings and revenue unlike anyone else.
