Tiger Woods Declines Broadcast Role at 2021 US Open, Announcer Dan Hicks Says

Tiger Woods reportedly declined an invitation from NBC Sports to serve as a broadcaster for the 2021 U.S. Open next week.

Dan Hicks of NBC Sports told reporters on Thursday that Woods turned down an offer from the network to help break down the action from Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego:

"He didn't want to do it, and I totally understand his situation. There is a lot going on in his world right now and there's also a part of Tiger that doesn't want to become this, I don't want to, for lack of a better word, a sideshow at an event where we should be concentrating on what's happening.
