Tiger Woods to play in tournament at Torrey Pines next week

Tiger Woods is starting another year at Torrey Pines, this time with higher expectations.

Woods announced Wednesday that he will play in the Farmers Insurance Open next week. He has won the tournament seven times, and Torrey Pines is where he won the U.S. Open in 2008.

Woods tied for 23rd a year ago when no one — himself included — was sure what to expect from him. He was coming off a fourth back surgery.

This will be his first PGA Tour event since he won the Tour Championship in September.
