Woods Open plans uncertain

Tiger Woods has again suggested that there is a good chance he could miss the Open Championship, with his 2007 schedule up in the air due to the impending arrival of his first child.

The world number one is set to become a father next month, with his wife Elin due to give birth in early July.

The 31-year-old indicated earlier this year that he may not defend his Open title at Carnoustie - with the tournament taking place from July 19-22.

With first born children normally born late, there looks a good chance that Woods will not be making the trip to north-east Scotland.

When asked this week about his plans, Woods revealed: "I don't know how much I'm going to play after or before (the birth) - a lot depends on how Elin is feeling and the health of our child."

The 12-time Major winner is currently trading as the 4.2 favourite for the Open Championship, with Phil Mickelson (15.5) the next best in Betfair's outright winner market.

Woods, who is also the 4.2 favourite for next week's US Open, says he is hopeful of defending his USPGA title in Tulsa, which takes place from August 9-12.
