Tiger Woods has confirmed that he will defend his title at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio next week.

The world No. 1 returned to training last week after withdrawing from the Players Championship with a neck injury on May 9, and although he is not back to full fitness, he will make his fourth appearance on the golf course this season.

"The doctors advised me to take a week off and rest, which I did," Woods said. "They prescribed physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication and soft-tissue messages, which I'm continuing with. Although I'm not 100 percent, I feel much better and look forward to competing next week."

Woods beat Jim Furyk by a single stroke to win Jack Nicklaus' event at Muirfield Village last year, having previously won the event three years running betwen 1999 and 2001.
