Tiger
to play Japanese tournament
PALM DESERT, Calif.
(AP) — Tiger Woods said Sunday he will play the Dunlop Phoenix
Tournament this fall, his first stroke-play tournament in Japan
in four years.
“They sure love
their golf, and I'm excited to be coming back,” Woods said
after a brief practice round at Bighorn Golf Club.
The Dunlop Phoenix
is Nov. 21-24 at Phoenix Country Club in Miyazaki. David Duval
is the defending champion, and Sergio Garcia also is expected
to play.
Woods and Duval were
teammates last year in Japan in the World Cup. Woods chipped in
for eagle on the 18th hole to get into a playoff, won by the South
African team of Ernie Els and Retief Goosen.
Woods last played
a stroke-play tournament in Japan in 1998, when he tied for 15th
in the Casio Open.
