Woods to defend Dunlop Phoenix title in Japan
TOKYO -- Tiger Woods will defend his Dunlop Phoenix title in November, tournament organizers announced Thursday.
Woods will be attempting to win Japan's richest golf tournament for the third straight year, tying Japan's Jumbo Ozaki, who won it three years in a row from 1994-96. It will be Woods' fourth appearance at the Dunlop Phoenix.
At last year's tournament, Woods won the fourth hole of a playoff with Japan's Kaname Yokoo to claim the title.
The $1.7 million Dunlop Phoenix will be Nov. 16-19 at the Phoenix Country Club in Miyazaki, Japan.
