Woods to return to PGA Tour next week
CHARLOTTE: Tiger Woods will play in his first tournament since the Masters next week at the Quail Hollow Championship.
Woods on Friday committed to the event formerly called the Wachovia Championship. He won the tournament in 2007, but couldn't defend last year because he was recovering from his first knee surgery.
Woods has been off since mid-April, when his final-day charge came up short at Augusta National. He finished tied for sixth.
Woods' appearance gives the tournament in Charlotte, N.C., one of the best fields on the PGA Tour with 10 of the top 14 golfers in the rankings.
Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh, defending champion Anthony Kim, Jim Furyk and Masters champion Angel Cabrera are scheduled to play.
