GRAND BLANC, Mich.(AP) Tiger Woods intends to play in the Buick Open and will host a golf clinic at Comerica Park in Detroit on June 24, two days before the tournament begins.
Buick golf marketing manager Larry Peck announced Woods' participation during a news conference Monday.
Woods hasn't played since undergoing knee surgery two days after the Masters, and isn't expected to return until the U.S. Open in mid-June. The Buick Open, a tournament Woods has played eight times and won twice, comes two weeks later.
Woods doesn't usually commit to tournaments until the last minute, but his plans are concrete enough that the tournament announced he will host a clinic.
"Tiger is very excited about this clinic, because it will be the first one he has held at a baseball stadium,'' Peck said.
Woods skipped the Buick Open last season after the birth of his daughter.

Bob Tway could easily be part of the FedEx Cup's first playoff tournament, The Barclays, but the 49-year-old has different priorities this week. Instead of attempting to secure his PGA Tour card for 2009, Tway is carrying the bag of 20-year-old son Kevin at this week's U.S. Amateur Championship.
Enough, already. We get the point. Actually, we got the point four months and 3,762 references ago, because that’s about how many times we have been subjected to this nonsense about something Ben Hogan may have said 57 years ago.
Michelle Wie was on the verge of something big last week at the LPGA State Farm Classic — her first professional win. But a rules infraction got her DQ'd on Saturday. Now she'll go after that first win on the PGA Tour, and likely won't forget to sign her card.
Anthony Kim was a crossroads. He could either continue down the road of laziness and late night carousing or he could shape up and start living up to his potential. He chose the latter — and he’s having way more fun.
