This years Open, the third major, will be held at the famous St. Andrews golf course where Tiger has one the last two titles in 2000 and 2005.

Tiger, already committed to the US Open in June and the AT&T National at the start of July, has included the British Open into his schedule further signifying his slow comeback to the game.

Woods recently withdrew from the final round of this month’s Players Championship because of neck pain. He had been planning to compete in the Memorial tournament in Dublin which he is the current title holder, however those plans have been put on hold due to his current injury issues.

While he gave no hint as to the timing of his return to the US PGA Tour, Woods said last week he expected to make a full recovery. “I now need to take care of this condition and will return to playing golf when I’m physically able,” the 34-year-old said in a statement.

Woods added that the injury would be treated through physical therapy, soft-tissue massage, rest and anti-inflammatory medicine.
