Tiger Woods has made another change of driver ahead of his return to action tomorrow after a month-long lay-off.

Woods, in Atlanta for the defence of the American Express World Championship he won at Mount Juliet last year, will use a new Nike driver which will not be available to the public until next spring.

The world number one switched from another Nike club to an old Titleist favourite earlier this season, but while ranking 12th in driving distance on the US Tour he is languishing in 148th spot for driving accuracy.

"I've had a lot of success with that old Titleist, but I wanted to take advantage of the technology advancements," he said. "I'm pretty excited about it."
