WORLD No.1 Tiger Woods will return to Melbourne in November to defend the JBWere Masters.
The troubled superstar’s love for sandbelt golf and defending titles proved too much to resist and his decision will ensure the fairways of Victoria Golf Club will be jam-packed with golf fans in what is tipped to be another sold out Masters tournament. Asked about his upcoming trip to Australia, Woods said: “I am pleased to be able to return to Melbourne to defend the JBWere Masters.
The Australian galleries made last year’s event a great experience for all the players and I look forward to playing at The Victoria Golf Club in November.”
The 2010 JBWere Masters will see one of the greatest fields ever assembled for a tournament in Australia with the defending champion joining international stars Sergio Garcia (Spain) and Camilo Villegas (Colombia) along with the 2006 US Open Champion, Geoff Ogilvy.
Tiger’s return Down Under reinforces Victoria’s proud history of staging major sporting events which earlier this year saw Melbourne awarded the Ultimate Sports City for the third year in a row. Last year’s JBWere Masters set a new benchmark for Australian golf with record crowds and television audiences and delivered in excess of $34 million to the Victorian economy. The 2010 JBWere Masters will again be broadcast on Channel Nine and FOX SPORTS and will be played at The Victoria Golf Club from November 11-14.
