The 155th Open Championship will be played at St Andrews in 2027, boosting the chances of Tiger Woods making a final competitive appearance on the Old Course.

Woods feared he was bidding farewell to the venue where he won two of his Open titles when he missed the cut in 2022, the 15-time major winner having suggested that the Open would not return to the ‘Home of Golf’ until 2030.
