Golf: Woods to tee up in Germany

Tiger Woods has announced he will be returning to Germany next May to defend his Deutsche Bank-SAP Open title.

The 25-year-old world number one, winner last year at St Leon-Rot, will participate in the European Tour event for the fourth successive year.

He said: ‘‘It makes me happy that I can give my confirmation to start that early and I am already quite excited to see my fans and friends in Germany again.’’
