Tiger Woods to play in skins tournament in Thailand

BANGKOK — Tiger Woods will play in a one-day skins tournament in Thailand next month.

Organizers announced Thursday that Woods will return to his mother's home country for the first time in 10 years to compete in an event that was part of celebrations to mark King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 60th year on the Thai throne.

The skins tournament will be played on Nov. 8, at the Amata Spring Country Club in Chonburi, a seaside province southeast of Bangkok.

England's Paul Casey, Colombia's Camilo Villegas and Thailand's top player Thongchai Jaidee are also competing in the event.

The event will be held the day after the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai.

Well, I won't bother trying to take them on. Last time I played skins, I lost the huge amount of 10 THB every hole and an extra 20 towards the drinks bill. :(
