(Reuters) - Tiger Woods, who missed the cut at last week's PGA Championship after an extended break, on Thursday committed to playing in next week's Memorial Tournament in Ohio ahead of the June 13-16 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Following his April victory at the Masters, where Woods won his 15th major title and first since 2008, he chose not to play again until the year's second major, where he missed the cut by one stroke. "Looking forward to getting out there again," Woods said on his Twitter account. Woods is a five-times winner at the Memorial with his last victory coming in 2012.
