Tiger Woods will be hoping to win the
Open Championship for the fourth time in his lustrous career and move closer to Harry Vardon's record (six titles).
What to know about Woods
Quite simply an all-time great, the 48-year-old is a three-time Open Champion whose tally of 15 major wins is bettered only by Jack Nicklaus (18) in the men's game.
Having been awarded the PGA Player of the Year accolade a record 11 times, Woods is tied for first in PGA Tour wins hence he is considered among the greatest of all time.
News
Nicknamed Tiger, Woods has been inactive from competitive golf since he took part in the 2024 US Open in North Carolina where the former world number one missed the cut.
Tiger is now set to make his return to competitive golf at the 2024 Open Championship and he is placed 874th on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) at the moment.
Why Woods is one of the favourites
Woods has played some of his best golf at the Open Championship - winning the trophy in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
The last time Tiger won a golf major event was at the 2019 Masters Tournament by one stroke and he will be looking to clinch the Open Championship title for the fourth time.
What was said
"I've only got one more tournament this season," Woods said at the 2024 US Open.
"Even if I win the British Open, I don't think I'll be in the [FedEx Cup] playoffs. Just one more event and then I'll come back whenever I come back."
