Golf: Woods Adds Surprising Tourney
 

Woods commits to Honda Classic

• By Bleachersreport

Tiger Woods will play in the Honda Classic, the 14-time major winner confirmed Tuesday.

The tournament, played March 1-4 at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., is near Woods' home on Jupiter Island.

"I heard great things about the Honda Classic,” Woods said in a release. “Now that I live here I want to play whenever possible. (Jack Nicklaus’) involvement in the tournament and the benefits to the local community are also important."

Woods has never played in the event as a pro, but missed the cut as a 17-year-old amateur in 1993, when he shot 72-78 at Weston Hills.

The Honda will be sandwiched between two World Golf Championships – next week's Accenture Match Play and the Cadillac Championship at Doral. Woods will play in all three as he prepares for the Masters.
