Of course, there's no guarantee he even plays after this embarrassment. Woods sustained some facial lacerations and acknowledged in his statement on his website that he "sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore."

No matter what, all eyes will be on Sherwood this week. Woods is the host of this elite-field tournament, which benefits his Tiger Woods Foundation.

This 18-man field is comprised of the top-11 available players from the world rankings, the defending champion, the four major winners from the year and two exemptions selected by the Tiger Woods Foundation.

The defending champion is out already this week.

Vijay Singh withdrew after undergoing a knee operation last week.

This year marks the first year that world ranking points will be awarded for the event.

Next week is the Shark Shootout, won last year by the team of Scott Hoch and Kenny Perry.

FINAL STAGE OF PGA TOUR Q SCHOOL, Bear Lakes Country Club, West Palm Beach, Florida - Some call it the most pressure-filled tournament in all of golf.

It's the finals of Q School, where 2010 PGA Tour cards are at stake. For 132 players, it's 108 holes, starting Wednesday, and the low 25 and ties get playing privileges next year.

(Truthfully, all players in the field get some status on the Nationwide Tour next season.)

As always, some names you know are forced to partake in Q School and perhaps the biggest name is former world No. 1, 2001 British Open champion and runner- up this year at the U.S. Open, David Duval.

Duval began the season's final event in Disney World in that magic spot of No. 125 on the money list. He missed the cut,

Duval is not the only recognizable name found in this year's field. Jason Gore, Colt Knost, Rickie Fowler, Jeff Maggert, Jesper Parnevik, Todd Hamilton, Tim Herron and Tom Pernice, Jr. are all scheduled to compete this week for a chance at one more run on the PGA Tour.

LPGA TOUR

LPGA FINAL QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT, LPGA International, Champions and Legends Course, Daytona Beach, Florida - A change in the system highlights this year's LPGA Tour Q School final.

This year, the top-20 players after the five-day championship, which also begins on Wednesday, earn Priority in Category 11. That means those players will alternate with players in spots 81-100 on last year's money list.

To sum up, the winner of the Qualifying Tournament would get into a field, followed by 81st on the money list, followed by second at Daytona and 82nd on the money list.

Players finishing in spots 21-30 will earn Priority in Category 16, followed by 31-40 in the Priority in Category 20.

All players will compete on the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International, then there will be a 72-hole cut. The final round will take place at the Champions course on Sunday.

Among the biggest names in the field is Amanda Blumenherst, who won the first sectional qualifier in September at Mission Hills Country Club in California.

We won't see the LPGA Tour until the Honda LPGA Thailand in mid February of 2010.

NEDBANK GOLF CHALLENGE, Gary Player Country Club, Sun City, Africa - This is another elite-field event that features 12 of the world's best at one of the most beautiful venues in the world.

Defending champion Henrik Stenson, Richard Sterne, Robert Allenby, Tim Clark, Luke Donald, Ross Fisher, Retief Goosen, Robert Karlsson, Hunter Mahan, Nick Watney, Rory McIlroy and Masters winner Angel Cabrera are the field.

Last year, Stenson defeated Kenny Perry by nine strokes to cruise to the easy victory.
