Tiger’s event moving to his old home course

Tiger Woods is moving his World Challenge from his old home in California to his old course in Florida Isleworth Country Club.

Woods said Friday that his charity event, which attracts a world-class field even without being part of any tour, will move in December 2014 to Isleworth, the course where he honed his professional game from 1996 until moving away to south Florida two years ago.

The Tavistock Cup is not part of the spring 2014 schedule on the PGA Tour’s website noteworthy because the tour’s schedule still includes the CVS Charity Classic, another unofficial event and the exhibition is not listed on the Tavistock Cup’s website.

“We have had 10 great years hosting our own Tavistock Cup golf tournament, and we believe this new partnership with the World Challenge will allow us to expand our presence and investment in the game,” said Andy Odenbach, vice president of Sports Ventures at Tavistock Group.

And while the World Challenge is unofficial, it began offering world ranking points in 2010 by developing a criteria for the field and limited its two sponsor exemptions to the top 50 in the world.
