Tiger Woods was in good spirits in his press conference ahead of the 2024 US Open.

The 15-time Major winner has won this championship three times (2000, 2002 and 2008) and is seeking his 16th Major victory this year. 

Woods made a record 23rd consecutive cut at The Masters in April before missing the cut at the PGA Championship.

Woods was confident in his body and said he feels like he has the strength to play all four days but it’s “just a matter of doing it.” 

The American great will be faced with an easier walk than Augusta and Vahalla but admits that the real test this week will be the mental discipline required 

with the demanding Pinehurst greens combined with the heat and the likelihood of long rounds.

The 48-year-old has had his son Charlie out with him all week and spoke glowingly about his 15-year-old son’s ability to help him out with his putting stroke, almost to the extent where Woods Jnr could be his new putting coach.

“I trust him with my swing and game. He’s seen me hit more golf balls than anyone. I tell him what to look for, especially with putting,” Woods said.

“He gave me a couple of side bits today which was great. I get so entrenched with hitting certain putts to different pins, I forget what I’m working on.”

Charlie has been enjoying watching the pros who he sees on TV and YouTube this week, Tiger said.

Woods also gave a very positive update on the recent PGA Tour/PIF meeting in New York, where he said both sides are working hard towards an “end game.”

“We discussed a lot of different endings and how we get there. I think that both sides walked away from the meeting, we all felt very positive in that meeting,” he said.
