World No.1 Tiger Woods set for The Open


World No.1 Tiger Woods has confirmed he has added The Open at St Andrews to his schedule - despite struggling with a neck injury.

The 34-year-old has been sidelined with an inflamed joint in his neck and although he is expected to make a full recovery, Woods has yet to confirm a return date.

"I now need to take care of this condition and will return to playing golf when I'm physically able," Woods said in a statement.

However, the American has confirmed via his website that he will compete at the Open, which runs from July 15-18.

Woods, who will be aiming to become first player to become a three-time Open champion in Scotland after his victories in 2000 and 2005, is also pencilled in to defend his title at the Memorial tournament in June.
