TIGER SAYS HE WILL PLAY AT PALMER INVITATIONAL NEXT WEEK

Tiger Woods has confirmed his intention to play in next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. It will be his final tune-up ahead of the US Masters next month.
Woods, who has not won a tournament since the Australian Masters in 2009, will try to end the title drought on one of his all-time favourite lay-outs. He has won six times at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge.

"I've always loved playing there," Woods said. "It's just so cool. It's as good as it gets."

Woods, who is undergoing another torturous swing overhaul, posted his first top-10 finish in a US PGA Tour event since June at Doral last week when he tied for 10th at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
