Tiger is Coming!

Sorry it has been two weeks since my last post, but other events have been keeping me away from golf. That being said, some big news was announced this week when Tiger Woods committed to play in the AT&T National at Aronimink Golf Club in July. The event, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation, has been played at Congressional Country Club outside Washington, D.C., but will be played at Aronimink this year and next because Congressional is hosting the 2011 U.S. Open.

After Tiger's off-course problems became public back in November, AT&T dropped its sponsorship of Woods and the PGA Tour announced he would not serve as host of this year's AT&T National when Tiger took an indefinite leave from the Tour. It was unclear whether Woods would play in his own tournament until his announcement earlier this week. He is the tournament's defending champion.

This will mark the first time Woods has played in the Philadelphia area as either a professional or an amateur. He did, however, make an national television appearance as a two-year-old on the locally based Mike Douglas Show, hitting golf balls with the legendary Bob Hope.
