Tiger Woods To Play Memorial
Tiger Woods' aching neck has apparently recovered enough for the world No. 1 to return to competition. Golf Channel is reporting that Woods will defend his title in next week's Memorial, where he'll also play in the pre-tournament Skins Game.
The Memorial commitment had been expected after Woods received positive news about his neck, which had caused him to withdraw from the Players Championship early in his final round. Originally fearing a bulging disk, Woods learned from an MRI that he had merely an inflamed facet joint, and that a full recovery was expected.
Following the Memorial, Woods has already committed to play the U.S. Open, the AT&T National, and the British Open. He is the de facto defending champion of all three tournaments -- winning the last U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2000, last year's AT&T, and the last British Open at St. Andrews, in 2005.
