Tiger Woods announces early summer schedule, including U.S., British Opens
On Wednesday, Tiger Woods announced his schedule through early August, and it includes appearances in the U.S. Open and Open Championship.
Woods previously announced that he will play in next week’s The Players Championship, an event he won for the second time when he last played there in 2013.
The 14-time major winner confirmed what Jack Nicklaus revealed this week at a charity luncheon, that Woods would play in his Memorial Tournament based on a conversation the two had at the Masters.
The U.S. Open and Open Championship are must-plays for a healthy Woods. He’s never seen Chambers Bay, near Tacoma, Wash. — at least competitively — so it will make for an interesting test. However, Woods has enjoyed great success at Open Championship host St. Andrews, where he won the 2000 and 2005 Opens on the Old Course. He complete the career Grand Slam there 15 years ago in his first try, nearly shooting 20 under par in a major.
Woods announces his schedule coming off a T-17 finish at the Masters, which marked his first start since saying Feb. 11 that he would not play competitively until his game was “tournament ready.”
