It was a mild surprise when Woods, who has not played on the PGA Tour since the British Open last summer at Royal Troon, entered the $20 million signature event. The tour created a special exemption category for him in the signature events.Woods had flown to Washington a week ago for a meeting with President Donald Trump, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Adam Scott, one of the player directors on the tour board. But then his plane left in the early hours of Tuesday back to Florida.
Woods and his son, Charlie, played golf with Trump on Sunday in Florida before the president flew to New Orleans for the Super Bowl. His father died in May 2006. Woods returned to competition a month later and missed the cut in the U.S. Open, the first time as a pro he had missed the cut at a major. Earl Woods had been battling cancer.
