Four of the events Woods committed to are old favourites of his.

The former world number one Woods is a five-time winner of the Memorial, hosted by Jack Nicklaus, which will be played June 4-7 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

Three-time U.S. Open winner Woods will play in the 115th edition of the championship on June 18-21 at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington, on the Puget Sound shore.

Woods will be making his second appearance at the Greenbrier Classic in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, from July 2-5. He missed the cut in his only previous visit in 2012.

The 39-year-old American will return to his favourite track in golf, The Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, for the July 16-19 British Open where he will seek a third Claret Jug there to add to the 2006 title he won at Royal Liverpool.

The last of the added events is especially meaningful to Woods as the July 30-Aug. 2 Quicken Loans National at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, in Gainesville, Virginia, benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Woods won the tournament in 2009 and 2012.
