On his Twitter page today, Wilson wrote, "Got an invite into the Honda Classic today for week before CA champs. Schedule coming up: WGC Matchplay, week off, Honda & Doral." This is a nice bonus for Wilson's owners considering he didn't tee it up at the Northern Trust like last year.
 Rory McIlroy-G- Golfer Feb. 9 - 1:41 pm et

Rory McIlroy learned that he has stretched ligaments from Monday's back scan.
McIlroy's agent, Chubby Chandler, told the Associated Press that his client is still a go for next week's WGC-Match Play. McIlroy will rest and receive therapy in advance of his first start as a member of the PGA Tour. Chandler added that the 20-year-old gets an annual exam on his back as a precaution. Clearly, youth cannot overcome overuse, so McIlroy will need to do a better job of moderating practice with competition. This could very well be his greatest challenge as he juggles two tours this year.

 Rory McIlroy-G- Golfer Feb. 8 - 11:10 am et

Rory McIlroy was to meet with a back specialist in Belfast today.
"My back has been bothering me for a few days now so that's why I am going for scan," McIlroy said. "... I've had the problem for a while, and it's just whenever I undertake a lot of practice. I've been out in the Middle-East for four weeks so I think it's just a repetitive injury and comes from hitting a lot of balls, and it just niggles a little bit." He is planning to begin his U.S.-based schedule at next week's WGC-Match Play. "I can still swing the club OK, but bending down and doing things like putting and picking the ball out of the cup hurts. The scan is precautionary and I get one every year and I will be fine for the Match Play. I just need to give it some rest."
 Tiger Woods- Golfer Feb. 8 - 11:02 am et

Steve Williams flat-out denied the recent rumor that his boss, Tiger Woods, will return to competition at next week's WGC-Match Play.
"The stories stating Tiger will return at the matchplay have no truth to them," Williams told the Sydney Morning Herald. He didn't elaborate but it may mean nothing. Moreover, acknowledgment of Williams' words as truth assume that he's still employed by the world's #1. Golfers have until 5:00 p.m. ET this Friday to commit to the Match Play. That will provide the definitive evidence of Woods' decision.
 Dustin Johnson-G- Golfer Feb. 7 - 8:13 pm et

He was three strokes off the lead at that point, but that is as close as he got for the rest of the round. Johnson is currently scheduled to play next week in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
