Tiger Committed!

To Quail Hollow.

Mark Soltau breaks the news for TigerWoods.com (nice scoop!). Ron Green noticed an encouraging sign in the news:

Woods made the announcement eight days before the commitment deadline, an indication that he is abandoning his policy of waiting until the last day or two before the deadline to announce his participation in events.

Sam Weinman notes this about the tournament's media credentialing policy:

Although Quail Hollow's media credential applications were closed on April 1, the tournament director said he expects additional requests from golf magazines and national newspapers. But he made clear that tabloid media outlets like TMZ.com and Radaronline.com would not be credentialed.

"They will not be given credentials...We are going to take care of the people who have been here before," Hougham said. "Now that our credential process has closed, we'll work with the legitimate golf periodicals."

All three of them.
