Two of this year's four major championship winners -- Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymer -- plus a trio of other major winners
and 14 Ryder Cup participants will join Tiger Woods to make up one of the most impressive, elite fields of the year when they
compete at the Chevron World Challenge, Dec. 1-5, at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The unique, $5 million event features only 18 players who will take on the demanding, 7,027-yard Sherwood Country Club
layout. The Chevron World Challenge, co-sponsored by the PGA Tour, is a four-round, 72-hole stroke-play event with $1.2 million
awarded to the winner. Jim Furyk returns as the defending champion, having closed with a 5-under-par 67 on Sunday last year
to edge McDowell by one stroke to claim the trophy.
"I haven't played in the last couple of years, but I'm looking forward to playing this year with this field," Woods said.
"The depth and the strength of it is something we've never experienced before. From what I heard when talking to some of the
players at the Ryder Cup, they're really excited about playing Sherwood and are really excited about getting out there, especially
the first-timers that have never been out here before."
