Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ORLANDO, Fla., April 15 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods, who just ended a lengthy hiatus from competitive golf, said Thursday he would play in a PGA event in North Carolina and in the U.S. Open.
Woods has committed to playing in the April 29-May 2 Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte, N.C., and the U.S. Open, the year's second major tournament, in mid-June at Pebble Beach, Calif.
"I'm excited about competing," Woods said on his Web site about Quail Hollow. "It's a wonderful venue and they always have a great field."
As to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, Woods set a record with a 15-stroke victory in 2000, the last time the tournament was as Pebble Beach.
"It's always been one of my favorite courses," said Woods. "I can't wait to go back."
Woods returned to golf last week, finishing tied for a fourth at the Masters. That appearance ended a months-long layoff self-imposed after a series of extramarital affairs became public.
