Tiger Woods is coming to Scotland as he announces The Open is next after completing Masters comeback

Comeback king Tiger Woods has announced he aims to play in the 150th Open at St Andrews.

The five-time Masters winner was able to finish 72 holes at Augusta, finishing with a score of +13.

But just to get through the four days was an achievement in itself in his first major since being involved in a car crash that almost required amputation.

Asked what’s next, Woods told Sky Sports: “I honestly don’t know. Even three weeks ago I didn’t know if I was going to play this event.

“As I’ve said, I have a lot of work to do.

“The endurance in the leg wasn’t very good. I can start out - it’s sore as hell when I start out. Once it gets warmed up it’s good. I can hit good shots.

“But then the endurance goes and I hit some pretty ugly ones.

“That’s one of things we’re going to have to work on and see what the schedule Is.

“As I’ve alluded to in a number of press conferences, I won’t ever be playing a full schedule again.

“So it will just be the big events. I don’t know if I’ll play Southern Hills or not.

“But I am looking forward to St Andrews. That’s something that’s near and dear to my heart. I’ve won two Opens there and it’s the home of golf.

“It’s my favourite golf course in the world so I will be there for that one.

“But anything in between that one I don’t know. I will try. Like this week I will try to get ready for Southern Hills and we’ll see what this body is able to do.”
