On the face of it, the 14-time major champion is on a salvage mission, having missed back-to-back cuts at major tournaments for the first time in his career with early exits at the US Open and British Open.
Whether Woods can halt that streak seems a more viable question than whether he can end a major title drought that now stretches back to his 2008 US Open triumph.
However, Woods said his performance next week will dictate the rest of his year.
If he has a strong enough showing, he could add the Wyndham Championship to his schedule in a bid to qualify for the US PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs.
“Hopefully I can get into the top 100 [in the FedEx Cup standings] and play the event,” he said this week.
