Tiger Woods has added two more events to his schedule by committing to play the Wells Fargo Championship and Players Championship next month.

The former world No 1 will join Rory McIlroy in playing at Quail Hollow from May 3-6, before competing at TPC Sawgrass the following week.

Woods has not featured since a tied-32nd finish at the Masters earlier this month, having posted back-to-back top-five finishes in his previous two competitive starts.

In a statement on Twitter, Woods said: "Break over. Time to get back to work at @WellsFargoGolf and @THEPLAYERSChamp. See you out there."

The 14-time major champion has not played the Wells Fargo Championship since 2012 and has not made the cut there since 2009, having claimed a two-shot win at the event in 2007.

Woods' return to the Players is his first start at TPC Sawgrass since 2015, on the fifth anniversary of his 2013 victory - his second on the Stadium Course.

The 42-year-old had already committed to playing the US Open at Shinnecock Hills in June, as well as The National at TPC Potomac a fortnight later.
