“I’ve got a week off, and then I’ll play the National and then head over to the British,” he said.

Strangely, Woods has never teed-up at TPC Potomac but then he’s no stranger to Carnoustie having commenced the 2007 Open by puttnig his 2-iron opening tee shot into the Barry Burns that was then out-of-bounds and running all the way down the left side of the first hole.

Woods entered the U.S. Open ranked World No. 80 but then he needs to break back into the world’s top-50 at the end of July if he is to realize his hope to play the very last WGC-Bridgestone Invitational event at the Firestone CC in Akron, Ohio.

Woods has captured the WGC – Bridgestone on eight occasions and his last victory anywhere was on the Firestone course in 2013.
