Three-time champion Tiger Woods has a late start for Thursday's first round of the Open Championship at Carnoustie.

The 42-year-old world number 71, returning to the event for the first time since 2015, tees off at 15:21 BST.

England's world number three, Justin Rose, tees off at 09:58, while Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy is off at 12:53.

The first shot will be hit by 60-year-old two-time major champion Sandy Lyle, who will make his final Open appearance unless he can finish in the top 10.

Woods is in a group featuring Lyle's fellow Scot, Russell Knox, who won this month's Irish Open.

Rose goes out with defending champion Jordan Spieth of the United States.
