Woods enters Barclays, likely to play all FedEx Cup events

Published: August 22, 2009
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Tiger Woods entered The Barclays on Friday, an indication that the world's No. 1 player plans to compete in all four FedEx Cup playoff events for the first time.
In a tough economic year in which PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has asked the players to do more for the sponsors, Woods came through in a big way by agreeing to compete in The Barclays. He has not played the tournament since 2003, when it was held in June, and he has not played since Barclays took over as title sponsor in 2005. Barclays' contract with the PGA Tour is up for renewal next year.
Woods will be the No. 1 seed when the PGA Tour playoffs for the FedEx Cup begin Thursday with The Barclays. A new points system means players are more likely to lose ground if they take a week off.
