Tiger Woods is returning to the U.S. Open. The USGA announced Thursday that Woods has officially filed his entry for the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in New York.

Woods, 42, last played at the U.S. Open in 2015 and missed the cut. He hasn't made the weekend at the year's second major since 2013.

"The U.S. Open is the ultimate test in all of golf," Woods said, per Mark Herrmann of Newsday. "Par is a value. That, to me, is a lost art. Going in if you know you shoot something under par, you're going to give yourself a chance. We know that going in. But still, how do you get prepared to get punched in the face?"
