IT LOOKS like business as usual for Tiger Woods from now on after he announced that his second comeback tournament will be the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 29th to May 2nd.
Having ended his near five-month break at the Masters last week, the world number one is now following his schedule of last season by playing three weeks later.
Woods, who finished fourth at Quail Hollow last season and triumphed in 2007, said on his website: “I’m excited about competing. It’s a wonderful venue and they always have a great field.”
He can now be expected to be at the following week’s Players Championship at Sawgrass, Florida, and then the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village, Ohio, from June 3rd to 6th. That was one of his seven victories last year.
Two weeks later comes the US Open at Pebble Beach and Woods has already confirmed he will be going back to the course where he had his amazing, 15-shot victory in 2000, the biggest winning margin in major history.
Another of his favourites is St Andrews, not surprisingly given he won the 2000 British Open by eight strokes and the 2005 championship by five.
The Old Course stages the Open this July and Woods has another six weeks to enter.
