TIGER WOODS CONFIRMS PLACE IN ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL

Tiger Woods was expected to play in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida, at the end of this month, and now it's official, reports Ryan Ballengee.
A six-time champion of the event, including four-consecutive titles from 2000-03 and winning with dramatic birdies on the 72nd hole in 2008 and ’09, it will be just one more opportunity for a resurgent Tiger to nab his first win of the season, something that may play a crucial part in his success at this year’s Masters.
The event will likely be Woods’ last before competing in the Masters. In all four years Woods won at Augusta National, he has tallied at least one US PGA Tour victory before taking the green jacket.
