Tiger Woods Amping Up Schedule in Search of WinBy CNN | Posted on: February 15, 2012Juniper Island, FL - Tiger Woods is looking to the familiarity of home as he continues his search for a first full-field tournament win in over two years. The former world No. 1 has announced he will play three PGA Tour events in the next month, including the Honda Classic in Florida for the first time in his professional career. The tournament is held in Palm Beach Gardens, which is near the 14-time major champion's home on Jupiter Island -- where he moved last year after his 2010 breakup with ex-wife Elin Nordegren following the scandal about his extramarital affairs. "I've heard great things about the Honda Classic," Woods said on his website. "Now that I live there, I want to play whenever possible." He missed the cut as a 17-year-old amateur in 1993 when the tournament -- which since 2007 has benefited the children's charity of golf legend Jack Nicklaus -- was played at the Weston Hills course. Its current venue, the PGA National, is rated as one of the toughest courses on the U.S. circuit. "We obviously are thrilled to have Tiger Woods play," tournament director Ken Kennerly told the tour's website. "We have worked hard for five years to make this one of the premier events on the PGA Tour. "This is a testament to where the tournament has come, and a testament to Honda's 31 years as the longest-standing sponsor on the PGA Tour." World No. 18 Woods, who slipped out of the top 50 last year, will also line up at next week's WGC Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona next week -- an event he has won three times.
