Tiger Woods Makes Official Commitment to Play in AT&T National at Congressional Country Club 

BETHESDA, MD - The inaugural AT&T National will feature the No.1 name in golf, as Tiger Woods confirmed his commitment to play in the event, held July 3-8 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.

"I am very excited to announce my official commitment to the AT&T National," Woods said. "As host, this tournament is very special to me, and I am grateful the event is receiving tremendous support from the local community, my fellow PGA TOUR players and all the members and staff of Congressional Country Club. It is extremely special to be hosting an event here over July 4th week, and I'm looking forward to a great tournament that raises funds and awareness for the millions of kids my Foundation serves."

Woods, the world's No. 1 player consecutively since July 2005, has already won a PGA TOUR-best three events in 2007 (Buick Invitational, World Golf Championships-CA Championship and the Wachovia Championship). His 57 career PGA TOUR victories are fifth on the all-time win list and his 12 major championships are second to Jack Nicklaus' 18. Woods leads this year's PGA TOUR money list with $4,885,427 and he leads the FedExCup points series with 19,524 points.

The $6 million AT&T National features a winner's check of $1.08 million, and will be televised by Golf Channel during the four rounds, with CBS televising the bulk of the final two rounds on the weekend. The AT&T National features almost a week's worth of festivities. Congressional will open to the public on Tuesday, July 3 with professional practice rounds, followed by the Earl Woods Memorial Pro-Am on Wednesday, July 4 and four rounds of tournament play from July 5-8.
