Tiger Woods confirms he’ll play at The Open Championship in Carnoustie
The Open announced Woods’ entry into the event in a press release on Wednesday night
The Open, which will be held at Carnoustie in July, announced Woods’ entry into the event in a press release on Wednesday night.
Woods has won three Open Championships in his career and his best finish at Carnoustie was a seventh-place showing in the 1999 Open Championship.
“I didn’t know what to expect this year,” Woods said. “To sit here 12 months ago and you would have said, ‘Yeah, you’re going to be playing The Players Championship and you’re going to have had a chance to win a couple of events this year,’ I would have said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. I can barely walk.’
“I wouldn’t say it’s gravy, but it’s unbelievable, and I’m just so thankful to be able to have this opportunity again because I didn’t know if I would ever have had. Trust me, I’m fully aware of how special this is for me.”
