GRAND BLANC, Mich. | Tiger Woods has decided to play in next week's Buick Open as he prepares for the final major of the year.
Woods' longtime endorsement deal with Buick ended early last year, and there were questions whether he would play.
The decision means Woods is likely to play three straight weeks concluding with the PGA Championship, which starts Aug. 13. Between the Buick and the PGA is the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone, a World Golf Championship that Woods has won six times.
