Tiger Woods has confirmed that he intends to play in the Frys.com Open at CordeValle Golf Club, California in early October.
Woods, who has dropped from number 1 to 38th in the world following his recent personal and injury problems, is keen to regain form after being selected as a wildcard for the USA Presidents Cup team in November.
“I always enjoy competing in my home state, and this tournament fits my schedule perfectly,” said Woods, who missed the cut at the recent US PGA.
US Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples recently warned Woods to sharpen his game by playing in more tournaments but last week assured the 14-time major champion that he would be one of his two picks for the event, well in advance of the official team announcement on 26 September.
