Tiger Woods will play in The Open Championship at Carnoustie this year, according to a report on BBC Sport.
Woods only returned to competitive golf in December and has since been trying to get back to form.
The 42-year-old could barely walk one year ago due to a severe back injury but he has recovered well and is now back enjoying his golf.
His putting since his return has been a huge weakness as he has failed to consistently produce accurate shots, which has decreased his chances of winning massively.
Woods has won The Open three times during his career and will return to Carnoustie in July for this year’s tournament.
The American made it clear that he would like to return to play in The Open last year. He said:
I’d love to play Carnoustie again as I played there in the Scottish Open in 1995 and in 1999 in The Open.
Carnoustie can be a brutal golf course. It’s just so tough, but it’s all there in front of you. There are no tricks, there’s nothing hidden. It’s just come and get me.
I won two of my Open Championship’s in Scotland, and the other one in England so let’s try and add another one in there.
Woods finished in 32nd place at this year’s Masters Championship, which was lower than many people expected as he entered the tournament in a good run of form.
