00:50later at the Renaissance Club, where he became the first home player to land that title since

00:55Colin Montgomery in 1999. On the back of those victories, Bob sits 15th in the official world

01:03golf rankings, and that's what's earned him his spot in this week's field. Woods, unfortunately,

01:10he's not playing on this occasion, he's still recovering from back surgery he underwent in

01:15September, but the 15-time major winner will be in attendance as the tournament host, and he's

01:22going to be speaking in a press conference here on Tuesday, before taking part in a Hero Shot

01:28Challenge, along with four or five others, one of which will be McIntyre. Promises to be an exciting

01:36week here, if it's going to be as windy as this, it's certainly going to test him. To keep up to
