Tigers Woods has revealed that he will head into this week's Open Championship with the confidence that he can win the competition.
The 14-time Major winner, who has slipped down to 241st in the world, last came out on top in the event back in 2006.
Since then, Woods's best finish came in 2012 when he tied for third place, but he remains confident that he can match his achievements of 2000 and 2005 by claiming victory at St Andrews.
"It's my favourite golf course in the world. I love coming back here and seeing it and remembering all the shots and remembering all the good times I've had here," he told BBC Sport.
"The creativity that it takes and the discipline - people don't realise how much you need to shape the ball and the discipline it takes to play this course."
Asked if he harboured serious hopes of winning, the former world number one responded: "Absolutely".
Woods, who has struggled badly with injuries and poor form in recent years, last triumphed at a Major back in 2008 when he claimed the US Open title.
