Tiger needed to get himself inside of the world's top 50 by 23rd July or 30th July and he currently sits at 50th in the world rankings, moving up from 72nd spot before Open week.
The 14-time major winner was desperate to qualify for the tournament at Firestone CC because he has won it eight times and this is its last year before it moves to Memphis, Tennessee with a new title sponsor.

“This summer is — there are some big events to be played, and one of my goals is to get into Akron, one last time, before we leave there. I’ve won there eight times and I would like to get there with one more chance. But I got to do some work between now and then, hopefully put together one good event.”
It will be Tiger's first start in the tournament since 2014 where he withdrew in the final round with recurring back problems.
That was also his last WGC appearance to date.
His last victory anywhere worldwide came at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2013. His start at the tournament in two weeks time will mark five years since he last won.
Woods has won a record 18 World Golf Championship titles, 13 more than Dustin Johnson in second place with five.
