But he probably won't because he thinks it's beneath him to play schedules other players do.

That's complete BS and you know it. Woods plays the majors just like every else and he picks and chooses the other tournaments based on appearance fees just like all the others.........His schedule for this year is approx. 17 tour events, just like everyone else........

As for their appearance (Woods and Mickelson) at the Abu Dhabi, they both received well over a million dollars just for showing up.............

The top golfers today are at such a point in their career that they can easily make more money in appearance fees than from the purses in the tournaments. That being said, it's only the purses they win that determines their overall standings in the PGA so they have to plan their schedules accordingly......

Not quite as cynical as ej. but do believe that the majors are Woods’ main focus. He want to be the leader in total majors. What is left for him to play for???

Yeah right Tiger fan boy. He plays in Australia at the end of the year to get appearance money and plays against Aussie club pros. Sort of like getting a past their prime boxer to roll drunks in the ring.

Tiger is a POS. He got his a*s kicked last week in Dubai by the Spanish bull Alvaro Quiros. The Spaniard is about 40 yards past Tiger off the tee.

Realistically - Tiger is no longer in the top 15 or maybe top 20 anymore.
