Former PGA Tour pro Rich Beem believes Tiger Woods has the potential to win The Open after signalling his intent to feature in Scotland this summer.
Woods, 46, suffered serious injuries from a life-threatening car crash in February 2021 and didn't play for 14 months before returning at The Masters last week. There, the 15-time major champion shocked the community by placing 47th overall, and Beem's feels his latest career adjustment could work to his advantage in his pursuit of the Claret Jug.
The 51-year-old called it "absolutely extraordinary" that Woods was even able to compete for two days, never mind make the cut and complete the tournament. He'll have another three months until The Open takes places at St. Andrews in July, and Beem wouldn't be surprised to see his old rival go all the way.
