Tiger Woods, after his disappointing play in the Masters, will make his next appearance May 3-6 in the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, the tournament announced Wednesday.
Woods, the 14-time major winner who won the 2007 Wells Fargo Championship, tied for 40th in the Masters, his worst finish as a pro in a major championship when making the cut. It will be Woods’ sixth appearance in the Wells Fargo.
The last time Woods played there was 2010, when he posted the highest 36-hole score of his career (153) to miss the cut.
Other past champions in the field include David Toms (2003), Vijay Singh (2005), Jim Furyk (2006), Anthony Kim (2008), Sean O’Hair (2009) and Rory McIlroy (2010).
Woods, currently ranked No. 8 in the world, will be joined by fellow top-10 plays McIlroy (No. 2), Lee Westwood (No. 3) Masters champion Bubba Watson (No. 4) and Hunter Mahan (No. 5).
Woods announced on his website he also will be in the field at the May 10-13 Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
“Both have fantastic fields, and I look forward to competing,” Woods wrote. “Sean [Foley] and I have some work to do, but I’m going to take some time off and not look at the clubs for a while and then get back after it. I know what to work on. It’s just a matter of getting out there and doing it. Just putting in the reps and the time. I just wasn’t able to do it at the Masters.”
Woods continued: “One thing I would like to say about the Masters last week is that obviously I got frustrated at times and know some of my actions were wrong, especially at No. 16. The Masters means a lot to me, and I was trying as hard as I could. I’m out there competing. I grind every day, and my expectations are to do my best. It’s very disappointing when that doesn’t happen.”
Woods also offered up a thought for Watson, with whom he has played a lot of practice round: “Congratulations to Bubba Watson for winning.”
