Tiger Woods held on to post a 2-under-par 34-36=70 in the final round THE PLAYERS, winning the championship for the second time and picking up his 78th PGA TOUR title in the process.
Woods was in control for the first 13 holes of the tournament, circling four birdies to just one bogey on his Sunday stroll around TPC Sawgrass. He then stepped on the 14th tee and inexplicably hooked a fairway metal into the water left, leading to a double bogey and bringing a number of competitors back into the fold. He made a nice par on 15 after short-siding himself, and then got up-and-down for birdie out of a greenside bunker on 16. He calmly parred the 17th and 18th holes to finish the week at 13-under 275 before becoming the observer, watching to see if David Lingmerth could birdie the 18th hole for the tie. When the rookie's 61'2" effort failed to find the bottom of the cup, Woods picked up the 40th edition of THE PLAYERS. Lingmerth would three-putt for bogey, giving Woods a two-stroke margin of victory. The world's top-ranked golfer now has four wins in 2013. May 12 - 7:04 PM

Tiger Woods signed for a 1-under-par 36-35=71 in the third round of THE PLAYERS, inching his way into a share of the lead with David Lingmerth and Sergio Garcia at 11-under 205.

Woods had a relatively quiet round on the scorecard, circling two birdies and squaring just one bogey. His second birdie fell Sunday morning at about the same time Lingmerth dropped a shot on 18, and Woods managed pars on 17 and 18. He's the odd man out of the final pairing, and will try and close the deal on his second win at TPC Sawgrass this afternoon alongside Casey Wittenberg.

Tiger Woods chased his opening 5-under-par 34-33=67 at THE PLAYERS with another in his second round to reach the midpoint in 10-under 134, one stroke off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Woods landed 15 greens in regulation today -- three more than on Thursday -- en route to an eagle and five birdies. He opened his round with a birdie conversion from 11'6" at the par-4 10th hole. After making the turn, he drilled home a putt from 20'6" for a 3 at the par-5 second, and then concluded his round with his final birdie, this time from 18'7" at the par-5 ninth. The world's top-ranked golfer got up and down just one of three times, but the pair of bogeys couldn't prevent him from linking sub-70s at TPC Sawgrass for the first time since the second and third rounds in 2004. Overall this week, he's bogey-free 8-under on the par 5s with an eagle and six birdies.

Tiger Woods carded a 5-under-par 34-33=67 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS, finishing four strokes off the overnight lead.

Woods is making his 16th appearance at TPC Sawgrass this week. In 14 completed rounds -- he withdrew during the lid-lifter in 2011 -- he hadn't broken 70. Today he split 10 (of 14) fairways and and hit 12 greens, but suffered just one bogey, that a 5 to conclude his round at the 18th hole. His only notable missed opportunity was a four-footer for birdie that resisted dropping in.

Tiger Woods owns only one top 10 at THE PLAYERS since his win in 2001.

That top 10 came in the form of a solo eighth in 2009. There aren't too many courses where Woods would continue to play an event with such a glaring lack of success, but Pete Dye's masterpiece continues to be one of them. Given Woods also won the 1994 U.S. Amateur here, there's no reason to think he can't put it together if all facets of his game are on point. His most recent TOUR finishes of win-win-T4 are reason enough to take a hard look at him.

Tiger Woods fired a 2-under-par 37-33=70 in the final round of the Masters, posting 5-under 283 in the clubhouse.

With several leaders still on the course, his round will come up just short of a fifth green jacket. Woods was bogey-free on the back nine, circling three birdies, but a poorly played front nine put too much pressure on his inward nine. He will likely look back on the par-5 15th on Friday as the difference in the tournament. Had his third shot not have hit the flag stick, he ultimately may have made a four instead of a well-publicized eight. There's always next year, and his attention now turns to the U.S. Open on his quest for a 15th major championship.

Tiger Woods signed for a 2-under-par 36-34=70 in the third round of the Masters, moving him to 3-under 213.

Woods had a morning that was quite well documented surrounding his penalty on the par-5 15th hole, but bounced back to circle five birdies and square three bogeys in his third lap around Augusta National Golf Club. While there were missed opportunities out there, perhaps most notably when a short birdie putt on the 18th hole did a full circle around the cup before spinning out, he has positioned himself to chase down his fifth green jacket in Sunday's final round. Should he do so, it would be the first time he would come from behind in the final round to win any major.

Tiger Woods took to Twitter this morning to address his penalty at the conclusion of the second round of the Masters that has him five off the lead at 1-under-par 143 entering the third round.

In a series of tweets Woods says, "At hole #15, I took a drop that I thought was correct and in accordance with the rules. I was unaware at that time I had violated any rules. I didn’t know I had taken an incorrect drop prior to signing my scorecard. Subsequently, I met with the Masters Committee Saturday morning and was advised they had reviewed the incident prior to the completion of my round. Their initial determination was that there was no violation, but they had additional concerns based on my post-round interview. After discussing the situation with them this morning, I was assessed a two-shot penalty. I understand and accept the penalty and respect the Committees’ decision." All signs point to Woods intending to honor his 1:45 p.m. ET tee time.

Tiger Woods has been assessed a two-stroke penalty for an illegal drop following his approach finding the water at the par-5 15th hole in Friday's second round of the Masters, and is now 1-under-par 143.

After finding the hazard when his approach hit the pin and spun back in the water, Woods chose the option to go back and drop at the original spot of his shot rather than the drop zone. The issue becomes how close he was to his original spot. He was quoted as saying "I went 2 yards further back and I took, tried to take 2 yards off the shot of what I felt I hit." With him choosing to drop two yards behind his original spot, he was not at the closest point to his original shot. In the past, this would have resulted in a disqualification, since his penalty was not accounted for on his signed scorecard. He will not be disqualified, unless he chooses to do so himself, due to rule 33-7 which state "A penalty of disqualification may in exceptional individual cases be waived, modified or imposed if the committee considers such action warranted." We will update if the situation changes.

Tiger Woods followed his opening 70 at the Masters with a 1-under-par 33-38=71 in his second round, reaching the halfway points in 3-under 141, two strokes back of the 36-hole clubhouse co-leaders.

Woods hit only 10 greens in regulation today, but it should have been 11 if not for a terrible break at the par-5 15th hole. After laying up from the trees, his approach struck the flag stick on the fly and recoiled back into the water fronting the green. He settled for a bogey and then added another at the par-4 18th.

Tiger Woods posted a 2-under-par 34-36=70 in his opening round of the Masters, finishing four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

The world's top-ranked golfer hit 13 greens in regulation at Augusta National today but converted only three birdies, two of which on the par 5s (Nos. 8 and 13). He limited his blemishes to a lone bogey at the par-4 14th. He'd rack up 30 putts. In his previous 18 openers at the Masters, including two as an amateur, Woods average 72.111 strokes per. His clip in the second round is a more impressive 70.611.

Tiger Woods will tee it up at the Masters as the favorite to win his fifth green jacket.

Woods has already hoisted three trophies in 2013 and regained his seat as the No. 1 player in the world. He hasn’t seen his name at the top of the leaderboard at Augusta National since his 2005 win, which included the dramatic chip-in birdie on the 16th hole that has become a staple of Masters’ highlights. Given the solid state of his putter, he will be a difficult foe for any challenger to knock off.

Tiger Woods put away the field in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a 3-under-par 34-36=70, earning his third win of the 2013 season, 77th career on the PGA TOUR and a rise to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking in the process.

Not only did Woods wrestle No. 1 away from Rory McIlroy, he also joined Sam Snead as the only other man to win a golf tournament eight times. Snead accomplished the feat from 1938-1965 at the Greater Greensboro Open, now known as the Wyndham Championship. A vintage Woods closed out his final lap around Bay Hill much like we've come to expect over the years. For starters, he circled birdies on each of his par 5s and added a birdie at the par-3 second. Perhaps the turning point of the round came when Rickie Fowler holed a birdie from 37'6" on the par-5 12th to pull within two, but Woods immediately answered with 26'8" dagger of his own to stay three up. Woods then stepped on the 18th tee with a three-stroke lead. After a poor tee shot, he played conservatively and left himself with a 73'6" par putt. Needing a three-putt double bogey to win, he ended all drama by lagging it to inches and tapping in for bogey a two-stroke margin over Justin Rose at 13-under 69-70-66-70=275.

The final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational has been suspended until 10:00 a.m. ET on Monday.

A severe storm unleashed its fury on Bay Hill and the surrounding area this afternoon. Play was suspended at 2:03 p.m. at which time defending champion Tiger Woods held a three-stroke lead over a quartet in second place. Golf was banged for the day at 4:05 p.m. Woods, who will return to a birdie opportunity from 10'8" at the par-3 third hole in the morning, is gunning for his third victory of the year and eighth at this tournament. His first win this season occurred at the Farmers Insurance Open, which also required a Monday finish.

Tiger Woods roared to the top of the pack, claiming the lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round and improving to 11-under 205.

Woods snapped his ugly streak of three bogeys to end the second round with a par save from 11'1" on the opening hole and was off to the races from there. His first birdie came at the par-5 fourth from 8'7", and he added birdies from inside four feet on the sixth and seventh holes before making the turn. He started his inward nine with a birdie from 15 inches on the par-4 10th, but dropped his only stroke of the day on the par-4 13th when he went from a fairway bunker to a greenside bunker and couldn't convert the sandie. A 17'5" birdie on 15 set the stage for him to join Justin Rose in the lead with an eagle from 19'10" on the par-5 16th. As others crumbled around him, he calmly parred the final two holes to post the clubhouse lead. He will try and claim his eighth title in this event in Sunday's final round.
