PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods added two more tournaments Wednesday to a schedule that is
not much different from previous years except for the timing.
Woods entered The Players
Championship and the AT&T National, which benefits his foundation.
It was the second straight week
that Woods made an early commitment to a PGA Tour event, allowing for
more time to promote his appearance. For years, the world's No. 1 player
waited until the last few days before signing up.
Last week, Woods beat the
deadline by eight days for entering the Quail Hollow Championship, which
starts April 29. He signed up for The Players Championship, which
starts May 6, nine days ahead of the deadline.
Woods no longer is the host of
the AT&T National, which will be held over the Fourth of July
weekend at Aronomink outside Philadelphia. It had been played the last
three years at outside of Washington at Congressional, which will host
the U.S. Open next year.
Woods missed five months while
caught in a sex scandal that shattered his image and cost him three
major endorsements. He returned at the Masters, where he tied for
fourth.
