Tiger Woods Confirms He Will Play British Open at St. Andrews, Unsure on PGA Championship
Tiger Woods confirmed on Sunday after his final round at Augusta National that he will play in July at the British Open in St. Andrews in Scotland.
"I am looking forward to St. Andrews, that is near and dear to my heart and I've won two Opens there," Woods said to Sky Sports. "It's the home of golf, it's my favorite course in the world.
Woods did not commit to the PGA Championship, a little more than a month away, on May 19-22 at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He also reiterated what he has said in recent months about playing a limited number of tournaments.
"I won't be playing a full schedule ever again. It will just be the big events," he said. "I will try to get ready for Southern Hills and we'll see what this body is able to do."
Woods has a fused spine in addition to injuries sustained in a February, 2021, car crash, and was visibly limping around the hills of Augusta National all week. But making the cut was an accomplishment, even as he fell back on the weekend with scores of 78-78, his highest at the course in 24 Masters appearances.
His arrival at the British Open, celebrating its 150th edition in July, figures to be highly anticipated. He won at St. Andrews in 2000 and 2005; the 2000 win came during the "Tiger Slam" where he set a post-war record in winning the event by eight strokes.
On Sunday evening, Woods also posted a note on his social accounts to congratulate the new Masters champion, Scottie Scheffler.
