Woods enters opening playoff event at The Barclays
Posted August 20, 2009 11:00 pm
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Tiger Woods has entered The Barclays next week, an indication that the world's No. 1 player plans to compete in all four FedEx Cup playoff events for the first time.
Woods is assured of being the No. 1 seed when the PGA Tour playoffs begin Thursday. A new points system means players can lose more ground if they take a week off. Woods skipped the opening playoff event the first year of the FedEx Cup in 2007, won the last two tournaments and easily captured the $10 million bonus prize. He did not play last year because of knee surgery.
The Barclays will be played at Liberty National in Jersey City, N.J.
Woods has not played a regular PGA Tour event in the New York area since 2003.
