ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) - Tiger Woods will take part in a challenge event featuring former British Open champions before the 150th tournament begins at St. Andrews.

Woods and fellow three-time champion Seve Ballesteros are among the 28 winners who have accepted invitations to play four holes on the Old Course on July 14, the day before the Open.

The R&A announced Wednesday that the oldest surviving champion, 89-year-old Kel Nagle, is unable to take part, while Jack Nicklaus, Nick Price and Johnny Miller also will skip the event.
