Three-time Champion golfer Tiger Woods confirms entry for the 147th Open

Tiger Woods has confirmed his entry for The 147^th Open at Carnoustie, golf’s original Championship.

Woods has conquered the one true test to become Champion Golfer of the Year on three occasions having lifted the iconic Claret Jug twice at St Andrews (2000, 2005) and once at Royal Liverpool (2006). In 2005, the American became only the sixth golfer in the Championship’s history to complete a wire-to-wire win. He is also a Silver Medal winner after finishing as the low amateur in his second appearance in The Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 1996.
