Why is Tiger Woods in Ireland and what can he learn at the J.P. ... (usatoday.com)

The pro-am will serve as a good opportunity for Woods to simulate playing in a competitive environment with 40000 spectators watching.

But why might he be playing in a hit-‘n-giggle with a major looming? He’s turned the event into must-see TV to determine if he still has a pronounced limp as he did at the PGA Championship and to show how sharp his game looks. Woods, 46, defied the odds by returning from his serious single-car accident last February and multiple surgeries to play in the PNC Championship in December with son Charlie with benefit of a golf cart in the two-man team event. Given the obvious pain he was dealing with, Woods had little to gain in playing the final round. I played well enough to be here on the weekend. Woods has done his best to ghost the world since he withdrew from the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in May after gutting out another made cut at a major and shooting 79 on Saturday in cold, dreary weather.

It’s a hit-and-giggle event with no world ranking points and a lot of socializing. Maguire will tee off on Monday right in between teams led by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. There are 21 major champions and a who’s-who of the game at this event – 49 men, and one lone woman.

WATCH: Tiger Woods arrives in Ireland for J.P. McManus Pro-Am to ... (CBSSports.com)

Tiger Woods hasn't played competitive golf since he was forced to withdraw following the third round of the 2022 PGA Championship in May.

Despite the lack of reps, Woods has always had the 150th Open Championship circled on his calendar. Five years later, Woods won at St. Andrews again and claimed the second of his three Open Championship titles. I previously informed the USGA that I will not be competing in the— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) @usopengolfas my body needs more time to get stronger for major championship golf. I do hope and plan to be ready to play in Ireland at @JPProAmand at @TheOpennext month. The 15-time major championship winner will use this 36-hole exhibition as a tune-up of sorts as he sets his sights on the 150th Open Championship at the Old Course at St. Andrews next week. This victory marked the completion of the career grand slam at only 24 years of age and was part of the "Tiger Slam" from 2000-01.

Tiger Woods is playing in a tournament on Monday in Ireland. So ... (GolfDigest.com)

Unlike the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open, Tiger Woods had never been coy about his intent to play in the upcoming Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Nine of the top 10 players in the World Ranking are competing, and roughly 30 of the top 100 players, each paired with three amateur partners. According to the pro-am’s website, €140 million has been raised in the first five events. The two-day event is hosted by McManus, an Irish businessman and philanthropist who owns, among other things, Adare Manor, which is scheduled to host the 2027 Ryder Cup. McManus, 71, first put on the pro-am in 1990 and has held it every five years through 2010. He skipped the U.S. Open in June to rest up for the Open. Why then play a week ahead in a pro-am? Before arriving in Scotland and the Home of Golf, however, Woods is making one early stop. Given Woods’ limited schedule as he continues to recover from his injury, it’s only natural to ask What is the J.P. McManus Pro-Am? and Why is Tiger playing in it?

Explainer: The JP McManus Pro-Am — why are Tiger Woods and ... (Irish Examiner)

An impressive list of top golfers and A-list celebrities are gathering in a Co Tipperary golf club this week — all in the name of charity.

There is also prize money for the amateur team with the lowest score on both days. Yes. The prize fund for the pros totals €1m, with the top prize worth a cool €250,000. The format will be a ‘Shamble’ (a version of a Texas Scramble) — the lowest single net score returned at each hole will be the team score. The primary purpose of the JP McManus Pro-Am is to raise money for charitable organisations. The JP McManus Pro-Am (a sporting event where both professional career athletes and amateurs compete) is a charity fundraiser that started in 1990 at Limerick Golf Club, with the aim of raising much-needed funds for charities and organisations in the Mid-West region. Two events are taking place simultaneously: The JP McManus Pro-Am Individual and The JP McManus Pro-Am. The pros will compete in a 36-hole stroke play tournament over two days, while everyone else will participate in the 36-hole nett team event.
