Tiger Woods has made his eagerly awaited return to St Andrews for this week’s Open Championship, despite fears continuing to grow around his fitness. Woods was out on the Old Course - where he has won two of his three Claret Jugs - on Sunday, as he began his practice for the major championship which kicks off on Thursday.
The American returns to competitive golf two months after his last outing at the PGA Championship, where he was forced to withdraw after three rounds due to the effects of his injuries suffered in a car accident in February 2021 began to take toll.
Woods made his comeback to the sport at this year’s Masters Tournament at Augusta, 14 months on from the crash. Following his return, the 82-time PGA Tour champion reiterated that his schedule in competitive golf was now a part-time one, but was committed to playing in all four majors.
