Woods arrives at Royal Portrush having made just three competitive starts since claiming a historic victory at the Masters in April, where a one-shot win gave him his first major title since 2008.
The former world No 1 missed the cut at the PGA Championship and needed a fast finish to register a share of 21st at the US Open, where he birdied four of his last six holes at Pebble Beach.
Woods' only other start saw him post a top-10 at the Memorial, with the 43-year-old electing to preserve his body in recent weeks rather than tee it up ahead of the final major of the year.
Despite the lack of tournament practice in recent months, Woods is one of the pre-tournament favourites and has unsurprisingly been labelled as a contender to register a fourth Open victory.
Woods completed the career Grand Slam with victory at the event in 2000 and added back-to-back Open wins from 2005, while another win this week would see him equal the all-time record of 82 PGA Tour titles.
