Woods had played in every US Open since 1994, when he had just graduated from high school and his replacement in the US Golf Association event at Congressional Country Club, American Michael Whitehead, was only six years old.
"Last time I missed a USGA event Salt N Peppa was still cool and Whitehead was a toddler," Woods posted Wednesday afternoon on his Twitter microbloging website.
Then Woods had a change of heart about Salt-n-Pepa, the three-woman rap music group from New York.
"Wait, Salt N Peppa is still cool!!" Woods tweeted.
Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the record 18 major titles won by Jack Nicklaus, has not won in 20 months since his infamous sex scandal began.
Woods injured himself at this year's Masters in April, when he shared fourth for the second year in a row, and aggravated the injuries at last month's PGA Players Championship before withdrawing after nine holes.
