MIAMI - Tiger Woods has added the July 15-18 British Open to his playing schedule for this year, though he is still sidelined with a lingering neck injury.

The American world No 1 will compete in the year's third major at St Andrews in Scotland, having already committed to the June 17-20 US Open and the July 1-4 AT&T National.

Woods, who withdrew from the final round of this month's Players Championship because of neck pain, has lifted the prized claret jug the last two times the British Open was held at St Andrews - in 2000 and 2005.
