FedEx Cup: Tiger Woods to Play in Next Week's Wyndham Championship

Tiger Woods has missed the cut at both this year's Open Championship and now the PGA Championship at Whitsling Straits. This is the first time is many years that Tiger has not played the weekend at two majors in a single season. Tiger is currently ranked 186th in FedEx Cup points and only the top 125 ranked players by FedEx Cup points are invited to the post-season playoff.

Facing the challenge of not playing until the beginning of the 2016 year-round PGA Tour beginning in October at the Frye's Championship Woods has decided for the first time to play in next week's Wyndham tournament in North Carolina in the hope of gaining enough FedEx Cup points needed to make the post-season playoffs. He has reportedly never played the course where the Wyndham Championship wil be held, however, this course is said not to demand alot of driving - Tiger's weak point this year. The Golf Channel's David Duval stated yesterday that he played this same course with a three-wood and no driver. This fact, along with the likelihood that many of the top-ranked players will take the week off may play to Tiger's chances to playing in a low pressure, kinder, gentler field as he seeks to breath new life into his game. Just how will Tiger perform next week? Share your thoughts with the Pro Golf Tour.
