He said: “I am planning on playing my way into the team.”
When asked what would happen if he didn’t, he simply repeated: “I am planning on playing my way into the team.”
Woods has shown patchy form since returning from the scandal of his extra-marital activities and rumours remain around his divorce with elin Nordgren.
He could even lose his World Number One spot this week to either Phil Mickelson or England’s Lee Westwood.
Westwood and Woods have even been paired together for the opening two rounds of the tournament which is bound to add extra spice to proceddings. Westwood said: “I enjoy playing with Tiger. I always seem to play well when I am apired with him.
“I don’t really think about being Wolr No1. That comes as a consequence of playing good golf. I just concentrate on trying to do that.”
