Feeling rusty but ready to play again, Tiger Woods said Friday he would return to competition next week at Congressional in the Quicken Loans National. William Nylander Jersey . Woods last played on March 9 at Doral, where he dealt with pain in his lower back and closed with a 78 for his highest final-round score on the PGA Tour. He had back surgery March 31, forcing him to miss the Masters for the first time. He also missed the U.S. Open last week at Pinehurst No. 2. The announcement on his Facebook page delivered a jolt of good news to golf. Woods has been the games biggest draw since he turned pro in 1996, and with limited information about his recovery, speculation was starting to build that he might not make it to any majors this year. "After a lot of therapy, I have recovered well and will be supporting my foundation next week at the Quicken Loans National," Woods said on Facebook. "Ive just started to hit full shots, but its time to take the next step. I will be a bit rusty, but I want to play myself back into competitive shape. Excited for the challenge ahead." This is the first year for a new title sponsor at the PGA Tour event that donates its charity money to the Tiger Woods Foundation, and the tournament earlier this year secured an agreement to return to Congressional every other year through 2020. Woods on Thursday announced that he signed a new endorsement deal with MusclePharm, which will display its logo on his golf bag. "He has been the face of golf for the last 15, 20 years, and golf is a better sport and a better place with Tiger Woods in it," two-time major champion Rory McIlroy said last week at the U.S. Open. "So hopefully, he has a speedy recovery and he gets back on the course soon, because any tournament where Tiger Woods is a factor, he creates a big buzz." This is the second-longest break Woods has taken from golf because of injury. He missed the second half of the 2008 season when he had reconstructive surgery on his left knee just a week after winning the U.S. Open for his 14th major. Even though he spent the off-season working on his body, there were signs early that something might be wrong. He missed the 54-hole cut at Torrey Pines, where he was the defending champion and an eight-time winner at one of his favourite courses. He had his worst finish ever at Dubai when he tied for 41st. Then, he withdrew in the final round of the Honda Classic because of back spasms, and despite being in the penultimate group at Doral, he struggled badly with his back on the final day after taking a swing from an awkward stance outside a bunker. Woods had microdiscectomy surgery a week before the Masters, and he has said in rare appearances that he did not know how long it would take to properly heal. His agent, Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports Management, said earlier this week that Woods was making enough progress to extend his swing. Even so, playing the Quicken Loans National was thought to be too soon. It couldnt come soon enough for the tournament. "Were thrilled, obviously," said Mike Antolini, the tournament director and vice-president of championships for the Tiger Woods Foundation. "Anytime you get that call and Tiger is in your field, its really the best news you can get. The fact hes a two-time champion and the tournament hosts, were very excited for the fans." He said he expected a spike in ticket sales with Fridays announcement. The strength of Quicken Loans National field has suffered in recent years as more Europeans moved into the top 20 in the world, and they headed across the Atlantic Ocean as the European Tour headed places like Ireland, France and Scotland leading up to the British Open. Adam Scott, who has replaced Woods at No. 1 in the world while he has been out, is not planning to return to Congressional this year. "To be honest, we were prepared regardless for a good event," Antolini said. "Our ticket sales, we think theyre going to be increased on this news now." Three years ago, Woods withdrew after nine holes at The Players Championship because of an Achilles tendon injury and missed more than two months. He said then he had learned from past mistakes and would not try to return before he was in full health. Assuming he is at full strength now, he likely will be at the British Open at Royal Liverpool and the PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he won majors the last time they were held on those courses. Woods been stuck on 14 majors since that 08 U.S. Open victory. Woods is at No. 207 in the FedEx Cup -- having played only three events -- and could have as many as five events to reach the top 125. He also is at No. 67 in the Ryder Cup standings. U.S. captain Tom Watson has said he would use a wild-card pick on Woods, though he had eased off that position in recent weeks when the status of Woods recovery was unknown.

After back-to-back losses against Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion, United returned to winning ways thanks to 18-year-old Januzaj despite another disappointing collective performance. "He is a wonderful player, he is someone who we think a lot of," United manager David Moyes said. "I have tried to get him in the team over the last few weeks but for various reasons it did not happen. He is a really good player, he can do most things and play in lots of different positions. He is a real talent. I gave Wayne Rooney and Ross Barkley their debuts at Everton and he is certainly in their category too." The defending champions defence again looked shaky and Sunderland made the most of the Red Devils inconsistencies to open the scoring after just five minutes through Craig Gardner. But United recovered in the second half as Janujaz coolly equalized in the 55th then silenced the Stadium of Light with a superb volley into the far corner six minutes later. "I thought we played well with the exception of the opening five or 10 minutes," Moyes said. "I am pleased we have won, I am not going to get too excited. At the mmoment we scored, we needed it but I wasnt getting too low. Wendel Clark Jersey. quot; Rooney was back in the lineup after missing the 1-1 Champions League draw with Shakhtar Donetsk due to a shin injury as Moyes made four changes. But United got off to the worst possible start, conceding after a good move from Emmanuele Giaccherini, as Nemanja Vidic failed to clear the ball properly to send it into the path of Gardner, who fired it past goalkeeper David De Gea. Under pressure, Uniteds display was sometimes embarrassing as Gardner stole the ball from Jones two minutes later, before Giaccherinis header forced De Gea to a superb one-handed save 11 minutes before the break. United also struggled in midfield as Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverly looked incapable of controlling the game as the visitors pressed unsuccessfully. Moyes team could have equalized through Nanis effort from close range though and started to look more comfortable in possession after the interval. Januzaj, who joined United at the age of 16 from Anderlecht, was rewarded for his determination when he combined with Evra on the left before meeting the Frenchmans cross into the penalty area. The teenager then connected with John OSheas headed clearance and sent the ball with a left-foot volley to give Moyes some relief, as United climbed to ninth in the standings, six points behind league leader Liverpool.
