Tiger Woods tipped to be contender at The Open - "He's got a great chance"

Tiger Woods has a “great chance” of competing for victory at The 150th Open Championship next month - as long as his body holds up.

That’s the verdict of two-time major winner and former rival Sandy Lyle, who reckons Woods could pull off yet another remarkable comeback. The greatest golfer of all-time achieved the unthinkable when he won the Masters in 2019 - his first major win in over a decade - but suffered serious leg injuries in a car crash in early 2021.

Woods returned to action at the Masters in April and again defied the odds to make the cut before fading as he struggled with swelling as the week progressed. He skipped the US Open earlier this month but could return to action at St Andrews when the tournament gets underway on July 14.
