Tiger Woods has confirmed he will play in
the British Golf Open after completing a
miracle Masters comeback.


Woods was humbled by the
“unbelievable’’ reaction from the Masters
Tournament crowd at Augusta National
on Sunday (Monday NZ time).
The five-time Masters champion carded a
final round 78 on Sunday (Monday NZ
time) to finish 13 and over for the
tournament.


He later confirmed he would look to play
at the Open Championship at St Andrews’
Old Course in Scotland in July.
"I won't be playing a full schedule ever
again, it'll be just the big events," Woods
told Sky Sports.
"I am looking forward to St Andrews.
That is something that is near and dear to
my heart. I've won two Opens there, it's
the home of golf, it's my favourite golf
course in the world. I will be there for
that one."


The 46-year-old received an ovation from
the Augusta crowd as he walked off the
course to complete his 24th Masters
Tournament just 14 months after
suffering serious injuries in a car crash in
2021.


The packed gallery had watched Woods
recover a double bogey on the 17th to
par the 18th, with his birdie putt just
failing to drop.
