The PGA Tour awards Tiger Woods a lifetime exemption to enter all of its signature events.
Tiger Woods has been awarded a lifetime exemption by the PGA Tour to enter all of its designated 'signature' events.
Woods has won 82 PGA Tour titles including 15 majors, but the 48-year-old has struggled with injuries over recent years. On Tuesday, the PGA's policy board voted to grant Woods a special exemption to play the eight lucrative tournaments, which do not include majors. "An additional sponsor exemption will be created to recognise Tiger Woods in his own category as a player who has reached an exceptional lifetime achievement threshold of 80-plus career wins," a PGA Tour memo said.
The American is tied with Sam Snead for the most overall victories on the tour, while his 15 wins in majors is second on the all-time list to Jack Nicklaus .In his four appearances in PGA Tour competitions this year, Woods has only made the cut once - finishing 60th at the Masters.
