Tiger Woods keeps the
Target World Challenge small in numbers Tiger Woods doesn't want or intend his annual Target World Challenge winter tournament to get any bigger, and that's official.
"We do not want to expand into a regular (PGA) tour event," Tiger Woods said of his 16-player tournament, which runs Dec. 8-11 at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks. "We try to keep our field limited. It is an elite field, and we try to get the best players in the world to come compete."
Once again Tiger Woods has achieved his goals. The field for his seventh annual four-day shootout again has 16 of the world's top golfers.
Defending champion Tiger Woods, ranked at No. 1 in the world, and reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year Vijay Singh head a list, which includes 10 participants from last month's dramatic Presidents Cup.
The Target event, which started in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1999 and then moved to Sherwood the following year, has produced two-time winners each of the past two years and both of them - Tiger Woods (who won in 2001 and 2004) and Davis Love III (2000, 2003) - will be in this year's field.
U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell, Fred Couples, Angel Cabrera, Jim Furyk, David Toms, Kenny Perry and Chris DiMarco join Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Davis Love as the Presidents Cup participants. The field is rounded out by the 2002 Target champion Padraig Harrington, European Ryder Cup standouts Luke Donald, Darren Clarke and Colin Montgomerie, long-hitting crowd favourite John Daly and Danish star Thomas Bjorn, who will be making his Target debut.
