Tiger Woods to play Wells Fargo and Players Championship in May

By Ali Stafford

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.
