Having missed the cut at the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods will play the Frys.com Open inCaliforniathe first week of October, his first time competing in the PGA Tour's Fall Series as he tries to get his game ready for the Presidents Cup.
Woods said a week ago he might add a tournament because of his limited schedule this year brought on by leg injuries. He chose a tournament from the Fall Series that he has never played with his TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons.
The Frys.com Open, in only its fifth year, was one of the more exciting tournaments of the Fall Series last year. Rocco Mediate holed out for eagle in each of the four rounds, including the 17th hole in the final round, for a one-shot win. It also offers a $5 million purse, the richest among events after the FedEx Cup is over.
"John Fry and his company have supported the tour, and I've heard good things about the event and the golf course," Woods said. "One of my goals this year was to participate in a tournament I hadn't played before. And now I will."
Woods has played only eight PGA Tour events with his Taylormade Burner 2.0 Irons this year because of injuries to his left knee and Achilles' tendon. He went four months without completing a tournament -- from the Masters in April to the Bridgestone Invitational in August -- so he could make sure his injuries were fully healed. He said at Firestone that his leg felt as good as it had in years.
When he plays the Frys.com Open, it will be his first event in six weeks, although Woods is to play in a one-day exhibition in upstateNew Yorkon Wednesday to support Notah Begay's charity work.
"It's been a long time between the PGA and Frys, and I'll be anxious to compete," Woods said.
It likely will be the only Fall Series event that Woods plays with his Taylormade R11 Driver.
Woods has some appearances in Asia before going to the Australian Open inSydneyon Nov. 10-13, followed by the Presidents Cup inMelbourne. After a week off, he would finish his year at the Chevron World Challenge, assuming he is eligible. That's for the top 50 in the world, and Woods fell to No. 38 in the world ranking this week.
