[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] The future moves of 'the resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) are drawing attention.


On the 17th (Korean time), Golf Digest USA published an article titled "Which PGA Tour events will Woods participate in this year?" They rated tournaments from 1 to 10 points to predict the likelihood of Woods' participation. The closer to 10 points, the higher the chance of his appearance. According to this forecast, Woods is certain to compete in the major PGA Championship (August 6?9), the US Open (September 17?20, both 10 points), and the Masters Tournament (November 12?15).


The publication especially gave the Masters, which Woods won last year, an '11 points' rating, guaranteeing his participation. They also predicted a high chance of Woods appearing in the Ryder Cup (September 25?27, 10 points), the golf competition against Europe. Woods is also expected to appear at the Memorial Tournament (July 16?19), hosted by 'golf legend' Jack Nicklaus (USA), and at the 'special event' Hero World Challenge (December 3?6, 9 points), which Woods himself hosts.


The Tour Championship (September 4?7), the final event of the 2019/2020 season, and the Zozo Championship in Japan (October 22?25, 8 points), included in the 2020/2021 season, are also expected to see Woods greet golf fans. Woods is the defending champion of the Zozo Championship. The likelihood of Woods participating in other tournaments is very low. Considering Woods' usual habit of not entering unfamiliar tournaments, the chance of his appearance at The CJ Cup held in Korea (October 15?18) was rated 1 point.



The PGA Tour, hit hard by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), will resume the 2019/2020 season from mid-June. The first tournament, the Charles Schwab Challenge, starts on June 11, followed by the RBC Heritage (June 18?21) and the Travelers Championship (June 25?28). The first four weeks will be held without spectators. The Wyndham Championship, which concludes the regular season, will take place over four days starting August 13. After that, three playoff (PO) tournaments will be held in succession.
