Tiger Woods’ torrid major championship season came to a premature end at Royal Troon after the 48-year-old failed to make the cut at the 152nd Open.

Woods finished well outside the cut line after carding rounds of 79 and 77. Once again, the three-time Open Championship winner looked rusty and short of competition rounds.

Now, the golfing world will have to wait until December to catch Tiger in action after he confirmed he would be playing the Hero World Challenge.

Woods also confirmed he would play in the 153rd Open, which will take place at Royal Portrush in a year.

Woods is currently tied with Sam Snead with 83 PGA Tour wins, and DeChambeau believes the 15-time major champion can take the outright lead.

“I think he can do it still,” said the LIV Golf star [The Mirror]. “He’s going to have a tough road to beat us youngsters, but he’s got that grit and fire in him that he is not going to stop until he gets it done.”

DeChambeau added: “I wouldn’t put it past him.”

Tiger Woods faces huge six months as return to full fitness intensifies

The next six months are enormous for Woods as he seeks to return to full fitness.

If he can truly get to work in the gym and regain strength in his right leg, then returning to some sort of competitive form is attainable.

After Images emerged of his scarred leg whilst at the US Junior Amateur, the golfing world should perhaps hold back on the criticism. The injury clearly impacts his swing, and he is not fully healed.

Hopefully, with an extended break until the Hero World Challenge, the 48-year-old can now return fully fit and ready to regularly feature in PGA Tour events.
