Tiger Woods is moving his World Challenge from his old home in California to his
old course in Florida -- Isleworth Country Club.
Nike Air Max 90 Cheap Australia . 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. Isleworth is among several golf communities owned by the
Tavistock Group, which will share the tournament proceeds with the Tiger Woods
Foundation. "We have a longstanding relationship with Tavistock Group and my
friend, Joe Lewis, and I am thrilled to see it grow in support of our
foundations," Woods said. The World Challenge had been at Sherwood Country Club
in Thousand Oaks, Calif., since 2001. It was played the first two years in
Arizona. The move appears to be the end of the Tavistock Cup, which began as
match between tour players from Isleworth and Lake Nona and since has expanded
to include other Tavistock properties, such as Albany in the Bahamas. One
possibility is for the World Challenge to move to the Bahamas, perhaps as early
as 2015. The Tavistock Cup is not part of the spring 2014 schedule on the PGA
Tours website -- noteworthy because the tours schedule still includes the CVS
Charity Classic, another unofficial event -- and the exhibition is not listed on
the Tavistock Cups 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.
The World Challenge would bring far more credibility, and attention, to
Isleworth because it is a four-day event that has been televised on NBC Sports.
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. Graeme McDowell is the defending
champion. This years 18-man field features 14 players from the top 20. The World
Challenge is so important to Woods that last year he contributed about $4
million of his own money to help cover operating costs. Proceeds led to building
the first Tiger Woods Learning Center on 14 acres near where Woods grew up in
Cypress, Calif., and next to the H.G. "Dad" Miller Golf Course where he spent so
much time as a kid. The tournament was the first visible showcase of Woods
foundation, and his father Earl, who died in 2006, was a big part of it. "Weve
been looking for ways to expand our relationship with Tavistock and this is a
perfect fit," said Greg McLaughlin, the president and CEO of the Tiger Woods
Foundation. "We very proud of the $25 million the World Challenge has raised,
and weve been evaluating the best path forward to continue this work." It was
not clear how Tavistock would be presented in the title of the tournament, if at
all. Northwestern Mutual has signed on as the title sponsor for the World
Challenge for Dec. 5-8 event at Sherwood; the company is not mentioned with the
2014 event. Sherwood first became part of the golf landscape as the host of the
Shark Shootout, now played in Naples, Fla.

bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out
the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night.BOSTON – Less than 24 hours
earlier, Cardinals ace right-hander Adam Wainwright stood before a media throng,
took responsibility for his clubs poor performance in the World Series opener
and then expressed confidence Michael Wacha would pick him up. Wainwrights words
seemed prophetic through five innings of Game 2, hit a glitch in the sixth, but
then were repaired by an offensive outburst in the seventh keyed by a Red Sox
defensive meltdown. The Cardinals pitched better, slightly, and played a better
field than the Red Sox on Thursday. The result, a 4-2 win and a series even at a
game apiece heading to the Gateway City. "The kid continues to impress," said
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny of Wacha, his 22-year-old rookie starter. "I dont
know what else you could ask. Put him on any stage and he does a real nice job
of limiting distractions." Wacha improved to 4-0 in the postseason. He sports a
dominant ERA of 1.00, having allowed only three earned runs in 27 innings of
work. Where Wainwright felt he didnt set the proper tone on Wednesday, Wacha did
on Thursday. He worked an efficient first inning, including a pair of strikeouts
of Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia with nasty fastball-changeup combinations.
"Nerves werent too bad," said Wacha, whod never pitched in Fenway Park. "Just
kind of anxious to get out there. Its the World Series. Big-time game so I just
tried to use it to my advantage to go out and pitch with some adrenaline and
just try to block out the fans and the crowd." He didnt have his best stuff, but
Wacha worked five scoreless innings. With St. Louis up 1-0 in the sixth, he
issued a one out walk to Dustin Pedroia. David Ortiz followed and worked a full
count before driving a changeup, often Wachas out pitch on this evening, over
the Green Monster for a two-run home run. Boston led 2-1 and it felt as though
Wachas strong start would go for naught. Not so fast. The Red Sox channeled the
Cardinals from the night before and, in the seventh, handed St. Louiis the
split.
Nike Air Max 2017 Sale. With one out,
John Lackey, who had another strong playoff start for the Red Sox, walked
David Freese. Jon Jay followed with a single to end Lackeys night. Left-hander
Craig Breslow took over. Pete Kozma, who entered as a pinch runner for Freese,
and Jay executed a double steal. Breslow then walked Daniel Descalso, loading
the bases for Matt Carpenter. The Red Soxs night fell apart. Carpenter lifted a
fly ball to left field. Kozma tagged. The throw from left fielder Jonny Gomes
skipped past catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Kozma scored. Breslow, backing up
the play, attempted to throw out Jay trying for third but he hurled the ball
into the seats. Jay scored the Cardinals go ahead run. They wouldnt look back.
"Im sure Craig would like to have that ball back and hold it with a chance to
shut down the inning right there," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "We give
them the run ... Uncharacteristic of the way I think weve taken care of the
baseball this year and it contributed to three runs." Carlos Beltran, who
injured his ribs slamming into the wall to rob Ortiz of a grand slam on
Wednesday night, deemed himself able to play about three hours before game time.
He had two singles, including a hit in the eighth which provided St. Louis the
insurance run. Positive signs all around for Matheny. "Very encouraged," said
Matheny of Beltran, who received an injection of the painkiller Toradol before
the game. "We were all kind of sitting around waiting to see how things would
turn out today. We didnt know how he was going to feel but obviously he feels
pretty good. He was moving well, too." Buoyed by the performance of a young
starter, Wacha, who outdueled the veteran Lackey, the Cardinals hope for the
same on Saturday. Back in St. Louis, 25-year-old Joe Kelly will pitch for the
Cardinals against Bostons veteran 32-year-old Jake Peavy. Two games in and a
split as the scene shifts, the stakes only get higher from here.
