Tiger Woods, the former world No 1 set to return to golf in less than two weeks, said on Saturday Chris Como is his new swing coach.

Como, based in Texas, began working with Woods earlier this month and became the fourth swing coach for the 14-time major winner since the American turned professional in 1996.

"Happy to have Chris Como consulting and working with me on my swing. I'm excited to be back competing," Woods tweeted in announcing the partnership.
