With the 2013 Masters coming to a frustrating end for Tiger Woods, he is going to have his work cut out for him.

No. 2: U.S. Open



Location: East Course of the Merion Golf Club, Par 70, 6,996 yards

With the rough cut to typical U.S. Open standards, accuracy off the tee is going to be important. If Tiger is missing fairways, he will be doomed. 

However, if Woods can manage his game off the tee, he will be just fine. This cour...
