NORTH CAROLINA. — Tiger Woods has made accommodation plans for the Memorial golf tournament in Ohio, sources have said, suggesting the Jack Nicklaus-hosted event could mark the former world number one’s PGA Tour return from back surgery.

Although Woods has made no commitment to the Memorial, and his plans remain fluid as he rehabilitates his body, it makes sense that he would want to compete in at least one tournament before the year’s second major, the US Open.

The Memorial tournament, to be played from June 2-5 on the Muirfield Village course in Dublin, a suburb of state capital Columbus, is held two weeks before the US Open.

Woods entered the US Open before the April 27 deadline, though his registration does not obligate him to play. — Reuters.
