Recovering From Neck Injury - - Tiger Woods to Play British Open Starting July 15

Tiger Woods filed his entry to play in the British Open in two months, Golf Digest reports.

Woods, 34, has been rehabilitating a neck injury that forced him to withdraw during the final round of the Players championship earlier this month and said last week he’s unsure when he’d return to competition.

The world’s No. 1 golfer said on May 13 that he would take care of the condition and return when he’s “physically able.” Woods said his neck problems started about two weeks before the April 8-11 Masters Tournament when he accelerated preparations to return from a five-month layoff.

Woods’ website lists his next tournaments as the U.S. Open from June 17-20, the AT&T National from July 1-4 and the British Open from July 15-18 at St. Andrews in Scotland.

The U.S. Open, which will be held at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California, is the season’s second major tournament and the British Open is the third. Woods also said last week that he hopes to play in the Memorial Tournament on June 3-6, giving him a tune-up for the U.S. Open.
