Rory McIlroy has hinted that Tiger Woods could make his return to competitive golf next month.
Woods has not played since missing the cut at the 150th Open Championship as he waved an emotional goodbye to St Andrews after missing the cut in what was likely to be his swansong at the Old Course.
The 15-time major champion continues to recover from the high-speed single vehicle crash in February 2021 that almost left him unable to walk. Woods required emergency surgery after suffering multiple leg breaks amid serious doubts he would never swing a club competitively again.
